One of 2025’s best TV shows has been quietly added to streaming

There is truly nothing like it on television currently.

Available to watch through NOW and Sky, the HBO show sees the comedian offering an unusual service to the public.

As the plot synopsis explains: "Fielder stars as the director of 'rehearsals', which are elaborately staged scenarios re-creating parts of ordinary people's lives that are meant to help them prepare for a big moment.

"A construction crew, a legion of actors and seemingly unlimited resources all come together to allow ordinary people to rehearse for these moments by giving them the opportunity to play them out in carefully crafted simulations of Fielder's own design."

The first season premiered in 2022 and showed the extreme lengths both Fielder and his clients were willing to go to in order to avoid uncertainty.

Hilarious and thought-provoking in equal measure, The Rehearsal S1 earned a whopping 95% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

And now Fielder has returned with a new season, which turns his focus to an unlikely topic: aviation safety.

Believing that poor communication between co-pilots and aeroplane captains is a cause of crashes, he begins running rehearsals of plane journeys in an effort to save lives.

The second season received even better reviews than its predecessor, with it currently holding a 97% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

It has also led to a feud breaking out between Fielder and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), something he discussed in a recent CNN appearance with news anchor Wolf Blitzer - which feels like a missing episode of The Rehearsal.

You can read a sample of some reviews for the second season of the show below:

The Daily Beast: "A marvel of philosophy, social science, and art critique, all of which it delivers in the funniest package imaginable. Television doesn’t come more inventive, daring, and amusingly absurd."

Entertainment Weekly: "Though Fielder allows himself some tangents in season 2, he lets the show’s concept shine, using mind-boggling production design, psychological engineering, and comedy to answer a relatable question: Why is it so hard to say what we really feel?"

IndieWire: That Season 2 convinced me it’s an earnest effort to improve people’s lives and a sidesplitting comedy and a moving emotional odyssey for Nathan, well, that’s what makes The Rehearsal Season 2 a cut above the vast majority of television.

The New Republic: "This season’s experiments have been enthralling, illuminating, even occasionally beautiful."

NPR: "As always with Fielder, it's tough to know what is real and what is contrived in his shows… Still, if his thesis is right, it seems like there should be more people trying to solve this problem than one brilliant satirist working for HBO."

Variety: "Fielder continues to have a knack for finding extreme personalities happy to show their quirks on camera, but The Rehearsal remains a show about his own journey."

Both seasons of The Rehearsal are currently streaming on NOW.
