Le How to with John Wilson

I was looking forward to this series since I saw the trailer. I loved the first episode. It was a great "slice of life" kind of show. I came in expecting a weird and funny show (which it is) but I also was pleasantly surprised by how touching it can be. I'm definitely on board for the whole season. I'm sure he shot the whole series/season pre-Covid. I hope this series is successful. If there is a second season, It would be interesting what this series would be like if he shot this during this time of Covid.

It is one of the most unique shows I've ever seen, I loved the first episode. The b-roll he captures is amazing, and it feels both genuinely funny and genuinely melancholy at the same time. Looking forward to watching the rest.

It's working for me. I like it. Episode 4 is my favorite so far, it was strange. I hope the episodes get even weirder as the series progresses. Curious what direction they will take it. Not sure this review makes sense, I'm stoned.

If you love dry humor, stop reading and go watch.

This has to be one of the best comedy/documentaries I have ever seen in my life. The dry humor, the perfect editing, the complete comedy of it all, the weird characters, the heart. It was all there. If I'd have to give any comparisons it would be to the first Borat movie or This Is America. But that would only be similar on the fact that it examens interesting and weird people and concepts.

Whilst episode 1 took me a bit to get into, once episode 2 came around about scaffolding I was hooked. Whilst episode 1 was just as good, I just wasn't familiar with the format. Episode 2 is when you really get it and it becomes a continues length of laughter.

I haven't laughed, nor be intrigued by odd characters and comedy like this in a long while. It's shows the absolute absurdity's of human behavior and life in general.

The amount of footage, and its editing has to be commended separately, as its a big part of the comedy aspect. Besides the great writing, which is mostly dry and awkward (in a funny way). The editing is out of this world. Just having all that footage and lining it up like it's shown is a feat of mastery.

Definitely going to watch this again soon. If there comes another season, however long that may take, and it's just as good, its a 10/10.

Watch this, it will not disappoint. I can't wait to watch this again with people who haven't seen it.

Very funny, very addictive, very creative. Rarely have I laughed out loud so often at a show. Frankly, it's almost impossible to believe that it ever got picked up by a network - it's that weirdly, wonderfully strange. Brilliant editing.

National Geographic documentaries seduce the viewer into believing that the cameras easily catch the drama and spontaneity of the wild as easily as an American teenager takes a selfie. The reality is that for every adorable clip of baby meerkats playing freely on the savannah, the camera has spent thousands of hours filming everything from empty grass to zoo enclosures to zebras wandering listlessly in the heat. National Geographic doesn't necessarily set out to capture baby meerkats playing. It happens to capture them, and then builds the drama into the documentary the viewer sees.

John Wilson uses the same approach to documenting the wildlife of NYC. Because he doesn't know when he is going to catch the human equivalent of playing baby meerkats, he films everything. And then he tells the story the images he as gives him. It really doesn't matter if that is the story he set out to tell. In the process, he tells us about himself, the people of NYC, the human relationship with garbage, his love for his landlady, risotto. Etc.

The result is hilarious, and, at times, poignant. Wilson treats all of his subjects with dignity, respect and grace, saving the punch line to aim at himself.

Watch it. It will remind you that life is a wonderful/awful mix, and that even the wealthiest person on earth doesn't know what to do with old batteries,
