Nathan Fielder made his rep with Nathan For You, where he parodied business consultants by pretending to help people with outrageous suggestions (I never watched it). This concept takes matters to a big-budget level with a unique concept: A deadpan Fielder helps people prepare for major moments in their lives by staging elaborate…and I do mean elaborate…rehearsals for the event. The first ep revolves around a man who has a secret he needs to tell a friend, while the 2^nd challenges a woman who thinks she wants a baby with the real thing….sort of. Even though it may be billed as a comedy, this is more an absurd version of reality show that explores human nature in unusual ways. Even so, it’s sometimes surprising, endlessly fascinating and truly unique.  (Review based on 2 of 6 one-hour eps with new ones released every Friday.) (4 / 5)
