i'd seen some of The Rehearsal before and it's interesting but has way too many Nathan plotlines and takes itself too seriously imho. Nathan for You had short eps with typically 2-3 funny and interesting experiments/arcs each and he usually wasn't one of the subjects.

I feel like at least some of the seriousness of The Rehearsal is a put-on that everyone's in on; it's the fig-leaf of a serious documentary when it's really about insane shit.

fair and i do enjoy the absurd shit but it isn't as much of a constant dopamine flow as NFY
second season pilot stuff is wayyy better than first season marriage sim lol. the marriage stuff just didn't interest me, Nathan stories in general don't, what i love about his shows is seeing the ridiculous things he'll get people to agree to/ridiculous behavior he'll bring out in other people. but he keeps throwing in "Nathan is lonely" as a plot point and idgaf
