As Episode 1 of "The Rehearsal" (2022 release; 6 episodes of about 45 min each) opens, we get to know Cor, who loves trivia and plays on a bar trivia team. One little problem: he told the team that he has a Master's degree, but he doesn't. Cor wants to come clean but how?

Couple of comments: this is the latest project from Canadian creator-writer-actor-producer-director Nathan Fielder ("Nathan For You"). Here he pushes the boundaries even more, by recreating the real world for purposes of rehearsing how things could play out beforehand. The amount of detail that Nathan puts into this is astounding, and frankly a little creepy. But I found myself sucked into Episode 1 as this social experiment, because this is what it really is, was playing out.
Episode 1 of "The Rehearsal" premiered this past Friday om HBO and is now available on HBO On demand and HBO Max, where I caught it. New episodes will be released on late evenings US Eastern time. If you liked "Nathan For You", or simply are interested in a social experiment on human behavior, I'd readily suggest you check this out and draw your own conclusion.
