Unprecedented television achievement
A genuinely jaw-dropping social psychology experiment.
An emotionally insightful search of the self.
A top-flight documentary production making full use of considerably deep corporate pockets.
Critical hyperbole can feel like a gamble with Nathan Fielder projects. Their sincerity and reality often seem to exist in an uneasy comic superposition: potentially wry trickery or earnest objectivity at any given moment.
Nathan first explored the entertainment value of this tension as a former awkward tween magician.
Now, as a greying and adult, that tension informs most all of his comedy/television work, and it also courses through everyday life, in many social contexts, presenting as anxiousness. A nervy worry that you're not reliably apprehending the state of play. Season 2 of The Rehearsal synthesizes these threads into an absolutely audacious six-episode skyward odyssey of public service and comedy art, culminating in this all-encompassing capstone of a finale.
It's not hyperbole. It's the Pilot's Code.
