Part self-help, part reality show, part massive spoof/gag/happening, part therapy...it is unlike anything I have ever seen on TV. You will be simultaneously entertained, perhaps enraged, astounded, creeped-out...it's all happening.
My attempt at a log line - "Nathan Fielder attempts to help people prepare for anticipated life experiences and difficult conversations by staging rehearsals of those events"
My 23 and 20 year old kids turned me on to Nathan For You. I've seen a bunch of episodes and am still not sure what to make of Nathan Fielder, but it certainly is a unique and enjoyable form of entertainment. I'm looking forward to watching The Rehearsal.
