What Season 1 of The Rehearsal
Nathan Fielder creates, writes, directs and stars in this documentary comedy for HBO, playing a fictionalized version of himself. His premise: helping everyday people rehearse difficult conversations or key moments before they happen. He builds sets down to the last detail and hires actors to play the people involved, so each client can repeat their responses over and over. The assignments range from confronting a lie about their education to raising a child. What starts as a rehearsal of life decisions turns into an experiment in control, identity and obsession. Angela prepares for motherhood by simulating raising a child, while Nathan tries to get another man to face a difficult conversation.
