Aug 23, 2022Starts well enough in the first few episodes but by the end the pointless waste of the whole enterprise is evident. As satire it's blandly repetitive and too often humorless. As introspection it's ultimately vacuous and never moving. At its core, it's a work of almost pure bad faith.

Jul 17, 2022underwhelming first episode. really lacking of depth and empathy, the baseline of the lie is weak and really exageratted to an extent that spending all this money into making the show happen seems like a waste of money. lets hope for better next episodes

In voice-over, Nathan expresses an odd bewilderment about his power to “create feelings for other people’s rehearsals” but not for himself. It’s a bewilderment that reflects the intellectual and emotional blankness at the center of “The Rehearsal.” ... His cleverness masks the hollowness of his schemes. No digression, no incidentals, no loose ends can intrude on Fielder’s taut, compact, self-contained sketches. He looks the Look at the people he films, but doesn’t seem to see them.

Through it all, you’re not entirely sure of what you’re seeing, but what you’re seeing is so oddly addictive, you can’t help but continue looking.

It is meant to disorient the viewer, and it works. ... Most important, it feels true. It is true enough that as the rehearsals play out, as more and more twists and M.C. Escher–esque turns are introduced into the rehearsal process, your body registers them as true and responds accordingly. You cannot help but want to cringe because it’s so byzantine and so simultaneously emotionally naked. Like it or not, that sensation of bodily distress is the feeling of Fielder’s rehearsals succeeding.
