The Rehearsal (2022)

Watchseries; One of the most beautiful shows I ever watched. Nathan Fielder is genius and everything he creates is perfect. I had just recently found Nathan for You and was upset that no more episodes are being created. This is just as good, if not better. I already hope for a second season.

The Rehearsal watchseries. To say that Nathan Fielder is a comedy genius would be an understatement. The amount of work he put in this show is insane. This show would be perfect for anyone who is a dry humor fan! Not so much for those who do not get it. 10/10 no doubt about it.

Once Nathan For You came to an end, I remember thinking, "when will we ever get something so funny, yet moving like this again?" - Well, it turns out it was years later from the same guy.

The genius of Nathan Fielder is not only his incredibly dry humor and even dryer delivery - but the fact that there's a true goodness that lies beneath the comedy. He wants things to work out for the people involved and he never intends to shine them in a bad light.

The way he concluded the first episode gave me chills and I can't wait for more of those moments as the season goes on.

As Episode 1 of "The Rehearsal" (2022 release; 6 episodes of about 45 min each) opens, we get to know Cor, who loves trivia and plays on a bar trivia team. One little problem: he told the team that he has a Master's degree, but he doesn't. Cor wants to come clean but how? Comes in Nathan, who is prepping Nathan how how exactly to do this, along the way building an exact replica of Cor's apartment and the Brooklyn bar hosting the team trivia...

Couple of comments: this is the latest project from Canadian creator-writer-actor-producer-director Nathan Fielder ("Nathan For You"). Here he pushes the boundaries even more, by recreating the real world for purposes of rehearsing how things could play out beforehand. The amount of detail that Nathan puts into this is astounding, and frankly a little creepy. But I found myself sucked into Episode 1 as this social experiment, because this is what it really is, was playing out.

Episode 1 of "The Rehearsal" premiered this past Friday om HBO and is now available on HBO On demand and HBO Max, where I caught it. New episodes will be released on late evenings US Eastern time. If you liked "Nathan For You", or simply are interested in a social experiment on human behavior, I'd readily suggest you check this out and draw your own conclusion.

Please watch!! This show is not only funny but a brilliant commentary on modern day anxieties, making it extremely relatable. Nathan goes above and beyond in this show.

I hadn't heard of Nathan Fielder until today when I heard the review of this new show on NPR's Fresh Air. I thought that the premise of the show would be taking away the surprises of Living, and helping people to circumvent lessons they needed to learn. After watching all the details happen, maybe some circumstances could be helped by this process. Of course, who has the time and $$ to make it happen? It might be fun to try this with friends to support someone going through difficulty. Hmm...who can I get to try this out? Nathan is definitely a strange character and I'll be watching again, and looking up his other stuff!
