Lexi Lane: HBO's 'The Rehearsal' will make you ask lots of questions. - NBCNewsTHINK
Over the past few years, HBO and its streaming service, HBO Max, have increasingly released nontraditional comedy shows. After the first two seasons of the New York-based documentary-style show “How To With John Wilson” and picking up the Comedy Central series “Joe Pera Talks With You,” Canadian comic Nathan Fielder’s “The Rehearsal” is the latest in the platform’s attempt to accumulate a specific audience that enjoys awkward, deadpan docu-comedies.
In the lead-up to the premiere, Fielder — who directed, wrote and stars in “The Rehearsal” — sparked fan theories about the show’s exact premise through mysterious teasers of video monitors and a promotional poster in which he sits at a dinner table with dolls. Many were asking, “What exactly is this?”
Before teaming up with HBO, Fielder amassed a fan base with the Comedy Central series “Nathan for You,” which ran from 2013 to 2017. There, he approached real-life small businesses with purposefully bad ideas, with the intention of finding humor in people’s reactions. With a larger budget and the potential to reach a wider audience, the stakes in “The Rehearsal” are higher.
