TV: Nathan For You

[VinylGuy]

yeah, very happy with a second season

[Farmer John]

lol oh my god

[VinylGuy]

[Dev]

I didn't even know they were doing a second season, so this is great news

Great news

[VinylGuy]

haha holy shit the new trailer is amazing

[tree_]

Nathan is my mother

[Farmer John]

He's operating on another level. How does he do it

[ZachJam]

His brilliance is generational. I really hope he can continue doing what he’s doing. He’s mastered so many concepts and moods with his work—between The Curse and his NFY/Rehearsal stuff—that I legitimately don’t know what we could do next. It’s exciting.

[Dev]

Lots of bad reviews coming in for season 2 of The Rehearsal.

[VinylGuy]

Im actually loving it

Ep 2 was so funny

[Mecca]

Dear fucking god

Spoiler: show

that reveal of Nathan as baby Sully

[tree_]

ok this is actually really good.. dang.. like.. the lengths he goes to to let the research into people dictate where the show goes is insane

[B]

I was having some good laughs at this, but I'm not out of season 1, and I'm already getting tired of it.

[Jorge]

Ep 3 of season 2 was some kind of masterpiece

[Mecca]

I don’t know how to explain it to people who haven’t watched to get them to want to watch without giving away the payoff

[Dev]

Can't wait to get to this

[Mecca]

I still cannot accurately describe what this season has done

[LoathedVermin72]

I thought it was okay. Didn't laugh very much; the breastfeeding scene was maybe the only big laugh all season for me. I wish the aviation stuff found more of a punchline.

[Mecca]

Nathan Fielder famous for his punchlines

[LoathedVermin72]

I mean...he is a comedian and usually there is, for lack of a better term, a "punchline" that makes comedy funny, yes. I just don't think the aviation stuff really led anywhere funny. The punchline of the whole season is

Spoiler: show

Nathan not wanting to know if he's autistic

, so it's all in service of that instead of actually paying off on its own terms. Like I wish there were a secondary, aviation-specific punchline in addition to the larger, thematic one. For me, the season felt a little listless and meandering because that element is missing.
