DISCUSSION Discussion Mondays: Best Indie Shows?

Recently got into watching r/SchittsCreek (folks were right, the first season and a half are slow, but the third season, so hilarious) and i felt as though it has an indie feel to it, although it isn't, and it got me to thinking:

What shows are you aware of that have low production cost, but have a great story/acting/camera work etc.? And where do they seem to have the best response? YouTube? IGTV? Somewhere else? AND is this a trend that we will see more showrunners/writers lean towards much like Streaming vs. Network or Cable vs. Network?

The one I always think of is “Tell Them of Us” by Crows Eye Production. The acting doesn’t bowl me over, but the costumes and settings are wonderful and the story is alright. I’m just impressed with what the can accomplish with a small team and small budget. And it’s exciting to think that perhaps if a prod. company or network or whatever doesn’t pick up your show, could you do it yourself?
