'The Rehearsal' shows Nathan Fielder at his most ambitious in one of the funniest shows of 2022.
In 2013, Nathan Fielder graced the world with Nathan For You, in which he helped struggling businesses through absurd tactics like creating a poo-flavored frozen yogurt or making a parody Starbucks. Since the end of Nathan For You in 2017, Fielder has brought his talents behind-the-scenes of shows that similarly try to capture real life in hilarious fashion, working on Sacha Baron Cohen’s Who Is America? and executive producing the excellent How To with John Wilson.
However, in The Rehearsal’s second episode, we start to see the true scale of Fielder’s latest venture, as he helps a religious woman named Angela rehearse to see if she’s ready to become a parent. Angela will live in a simulation of being a mother, as Fielder moves her to a rural Oregon home to raise a child she has named Adam. Adam is played by a group of child actors, and every week, Adam will age three years.
Yet this is also the most expansive version of Fielder’s comedic vision we’ve ever seen, as if HBO gave him the independence and money to do whatever he wants. If there’s an easy way to do something, Fielder avoids it, instead attempting the most hare-brained, over-the-top solution to a problem.
