It’s door city over here in the teaser for The Rehearsal season two. (This author wrote the headline of this article as a rehearsal for that first sentence.) Who knew that a show that started with a simple lie to a trivia team would blossom into one of the wackiest and most thought-provoking experiments on television in years. The Rehearsal season one saw Nathan Fielder use a seemingly unlimited HBO budget to go full Synecdoche, New York in an attempt to help people “rehearse” life moments in a completely controlled environment. The show became harder to summarize over time, as, like the movie it took so much of its visual language from, it completely broke containment and veered into major ethical questions about life, art, and the boundary between the two.
