I'm not a good judge of dude hotness but it seems like in NFY his character was more about being an off putting weirdo with all of the faces and fashion choices to facilitate that. While he was still obviously being weird in The Rehearsal his demeanor seemed more toned down and normal. Like, he's not wearing square, dorky business clothes and always standing with his mouth agape in the Rehearsal like he is in NFY lol. So maybe that has something to do with it?

I'm a straight guy who is a pretty bad judge of how attractive other men are, but I can see it. He has a very solid Hollywood look compared to how he presented himself in Nathan for You

Nathan has always been hot, but the salt and pepper hair, 5 o’clock shadow, and more casual clothes are really working for him.

You all are fixated on his rear end crack oddly and not that he was wearing a thong with little hearts on it.

In The Rehearsal, Nathan is a bad boy who is going to go to hell, he's a stalker, and he's a daddy that children love. These all make him way hotter than the charmless pair of chinos he presents himself as in NFY

I loved the apology to Angela because the second you start thinking she might just be a pretty chill person after all it's immediately revealed that it's just another insane religious math problem.

That one is actually properly quoted out of the Bible though. All the poo poo about hell and antisemitism and satanic influences is purestrain Alex Jones lunacy.

The scene where the mum is talking about how she knows her kid will be okay hit me the hardest, I think, just because it made me realise how loving terrible I'd be as a parent -- something confirmed reading people's posts here and elsewhere, and seeing how much they related to the material in front of them. I just couldn't do that, it was completely foreign to me. I know my tone, the things I'd consider important in the moment as I was saying the words I'd be saying, they'd be completely different. It'd come from a completely different place. I'd never, ever look at my child and think they they'd be fine because they look like me, and the level of patience and care that she and Nathan showed the kid... I just couldn't do that, instinctively, you know? Nathan and the mum both let the kid come to his own conclusions and set boundaries firmly but carefully, and try to use worked examples to try and generate empathy. But even the language -- insisting that Nathan is Remy's "friend". I'd never even think to use that word. I wouldn't think to protect the kid like that. My first instinct would be to hard boundaries, pull the bandaid off, let the kid learn a cruel lesson of life -- protect the child in that way, you know? And not lie about them being "friends". I know the cameras are pointed at them and so they're obviously going to be trying to be on their best behaviour, but the way they talked and interacted was just like nothing I'd ever experienced growing up. I probably didn't have the best parental models, and I guess I wasn't lucky enough to be exposed to other parents and see how they raised their children. The Doctor Farts thing too. The way Nathan defends it to Angela by saying that he let the kid lead, and that they had fun, and Angela just comes down on it all like a tonne of bricks, using satanic panic to make these high minded, public reason excuses as to why it's "wrong" to play act in ways she finds personally distasteful -- reminded me of how my parents would complain I was "torturing" them if I tried to watch an episode of Doctor Who with them, or whatever. Pretty clear, of the two of them, who'd make a better parent. Just sort of unlocked a lot of feelings in me, I guess. Alan Smithee posted:want 2 get balls deep in dummy angela she dummy thicc

Electro-Boogie Jack posted:no, please don't summon that guy into the thread again sorry. Just to be clear i am not passing judgement or grading the show on whether that or other aspects were “real” or “fake.” But with swaths of the show being, you know, a rehearsal (often of a rehearsal, of a rehearsal) I wondered if that was maybe rehearsed at some point. hell of a show either way, genuinely surprising and affecting and hilarious and I am still thinking about all of it.

I'm sure Nathan planned out his speech (and rehearsed it  ) but if the kid's reaction was scripted then he's a really good actor.

NFY is one of my all time favorite things, but I've been putting off watching this because I'm reluctant to pay for HBO for a single show. I saw the first episode was available for free though, and it gave me some full-on belly laughs the way only Nathan can elicit them from me. The implanting of trivia answers felt the most reminiscent of NFY-esque schemes. Does anyone else think the guy taking up the table at the real bar was another actor hired by Nathan?

Somebody posted something earlier saying that none of the trivia night regulars were there and the employees were different than usual. If that's true, it's hard to say if that was so they could put in plants for jokes and control things better or if it was just a typical TV thing where they didn't want to have a ton of blurred out people so they put out an ad. Same thing that they do for restaurant rescue shows.

They really push the pathos of it, but I’m sure what happened with Remy is vary common for child actors his age. He was basically pretending someone else was his parent for a few hours a day for a while, which is what most acting jobs boil down to for a six-year-old. Until all the meta stuff (which is when Nathan was actually trying to fix the issue) it was probably a pretty unremarkable experience for Remy, as far as these things go. Anyway, incredible finale, incredible series, Nathan ascendant.

If he was just rolling with the punches you’d think having to make these expensive rehearsal decisions to prepare based on that would be impossible to plan for last minute The inheritance guy just ghosting them seems like a weird thing to fake since you’d want some kind of resolution if even unsatisfactory
