The Rehearsal Season 1, Episode 1 - Orange Juice, No Pulp -Nathan Fielder is a mad genius.

Started this last night and immediately became so obsessed with it I just finished the whole season within 24 hours.
Just a staggering piece of work ... exploring a weird and largely futile social compulsion that I find deeply relatable and continuing to push it to its absolute extreme, and then finding new extremes we didn't even realize were there. Contains a ton of moments that are the hardest I've laughed at anything in a long ass time while also being an often uncomfortable, at times provocative, and really touching piece of storytelling. What the show becomes over the course of the season on-paper seems like the exact sort of self-indulgent thing I'd normally despise, but there's something about what Fielder does that I actually find really genuine and vulnerable and not at all self-obsessed even if he is quite literally obsessed with himself as a dramatic subject. I'm not sure I can describe exactly why, but it works for me!
I wouldn't be surprised if more of this was scripted/staged than let on ... but frankly I don't care. It's a triumph, it was exhilarating to watch, and I can already tell this will be my new favorite thing to show unsuspecting friends just to watch their reactions to it.
Can't believe it took me this long to get into Nathan Fielder. Will for sure be doing a binge of Nathan for You to fill the void before the second season of this comes around.

I haven't watched The Rehearsal yet, but Nathan for You is incredible. I was obsessed with it a couple years ago when I watched it for the first time and it immediately became one of my all-time favorite shows. Enjoy!
