The Rehearsal

description

The Rehearsal is a docu-comedy television series created, written, directed by and starring Nathan Fielder. The show premiered on HBO in July 2022 and quickly received critical acclaim. In August of the same year, HBO announced that the series would be renewed for a second season.

The show features Nathan Fielder helping people prepare for difficult conversations or events by creating elaborate sets and hiring actors to recreate the situations. Fielder and the actors then practice different dialogue trees with the clients dozens of times. Sometimes, the information used to train the actors and build the sets is collected without the clients' knowledge. The situations range from trivial to complex, but all aim to help the clients rehearse for real-life situations.

The show's premise was inspired by Fielder's earlier series, Nathan for You, where he would role-play scenarios to predict how people would react to his often ridiculous suggestions. The Rehearsal takes this idea further by creating entire sets and hiring actors to help clients practice difficult conversations. The humor in the show often comes from the extravagance of the sets and the absurdity of the situations.

Comedy & Humor
Previewing "Breaking In" for the press, star Brett Harrison suggested, "If you like "The A-Team", you'll like "Breaking In". If you like "The Office",'you'll like "Breaking In". And if you like breaking-in, you will like "Breaking In!". Harrison's observation proved strangely prophetic in at least two ways: First, the new Fox comedy does combine comic elements from "The Office" with "The A-Team's" dark, sarcastic point of view. Office humor"”there's just no such thing as too much. Second, the weak attempt at humor in Harrison's last line is sadly characteristic of the writing for "Breaking-In." Apparently, the B&E crowd lobbied for its own version of appointment viewing. Who knew? Although it's becoming this season's standard"”bad guys gone good, the premise nevertheless has promise. Five exceptionally skilled and highly specialized burglars team-up to operate Contra Security, a consulting firm that tests companies' security systems by breaking into them. Borrowing liberally from "Leverage" and "Breakout Kings," this wickedly bland team includes a hacker, a bad girl who can pick any lock, a semi-skilled con man, and a mysterious boss. First episode ratings may prophecy the sitcom's fate. Scheduled right after a big-big episode of "American Idol", "Breaking In" carried approximately 19 million viewers into its time-slot; by the end of its half-hour, 12 million of them had tuned-in elsewhere.
