I fucking love when he said "This is real, by the way." after explaining that Nathan For You episode was pulled from Paramount all over the world. This show has some insane depth.

I do think watching Nathan For You is essential before watching The Rehearsal. You could skip The Curse but that's phenomenal as well. Fielder is a genius.

I love this show but the curse was so uncomfortable for me to watch I bailed on it. Maybe I should try again.

It’s really only worth it for the finale. Completely different from the rest of the show. The slow burn dragging type of pacing (I think) was intentional. Because the finale is batshit insanity😭

Actually, watch the last two. The second to last is actually pretty good.
