How To with John Wilson is an absolute gem, an exhilarating and side-splitting series that could even change the way you look at the world.
-
While the shift toward the personal means that invested viewers will take more from his latest set of lessons, the central appeal of the show is that anyone who’s ever felt apprehensive about existing in society can find a piece of themselves in Wilson’s take on the world.
-
These six new episodes maybe didn’t emotionally level me like “How To Cook the Perfect Risotto” did, but they’re all funny, eye-opening, unifying portraits of curiosity and How To with John Wilson is still a special show.
-
While each episode begins with a simple and pragmatic question — how does one, say, safely dispose of batteries? — it ends having transcended and morphed the question into an inquiry into grander things. ... We get to know the man behind the camera more this season, and come to understand not merely his personality — conveyed through Wilson’s excellent vocal performance as charmingly off-kilter, as well as open in a way that invites openness from his subjects — but his ambition and his fear.
