Have you ever been in a position where you dread some kind of upcoming event or uncomfortable situation and would like to know all the possible outcomes ahead of time? Wouldn’t it be nice to take all the uncertainty out of the unknown and see how every potential outcome could play out? This may not be an option for most of us, but the few people lucky enough to be a part of Nathan Fielder’s new HBO series The Rehearsal find themselves in this very position. If you’ve heard about one of the most unique 2022 new shows and would like to know more about it before you watch it with your HBO Max subscription, stick around because we’re about to break it all down.
The Rehearsal Follows Nathan Field As He Prepares People To Make Major Life Decisions
Each episode of The Rehearsal sees creator and host Nathan Fielder, who once gave Eric Andre some great advice, as he prepares people to make major life decisions. During the new HBO show’s debut episode, Fielder helped a man named Kor Skeet get the courage and prepare himself to make a confession about a lie he had been telling his trivia group for a number of years. And that's just the beginning.
This Includes Building Extravagant Sets And Hiring Actors To Create Hypothetical Situations
To better help his clients prepare for their upcoming uncomfortable situation, Nathan Fielder and his team build extravagant sets that are exact replicas of the locations where they will meet the person they'll interact with at the end of the episode. On top of that, actors are hired to stand in for the person the subject will confront as well as random extras to serve as patrons of the bar, restaurant, or park they are visiting.
The Show Is Uncomfortable And Humorous At The Same Time
There are times where The Rehearsal is humorous and others where is undeniably uncomfortable, but the show finds its stride when these two qualities are used together. There will be situations in the first episode that are so awkward you'll want to look away from the screen, but the show does find its humor in these tricky and sometimes overly uncomfortable situations.
