What's On Tonight (Friday): Nathan Rehearses for You...

via NeoGAF

Nathan Fielder returns to television this week, and though the show isn't titled Nathan for You, Nathan is still all about offering help to those in need.  In this series he helps people through big moments by having them rehearse those moments using sets, actors and whatever else he can get his hands on.  Comedy, most certainly, will ensue.

Elsewhere...

*Discovery+ is getting an early start on Shark Week with two new specials.  NGC, on the other hand, is determined to steal as much of Discovery's thunder as possible by airing three new shark specials.  Let them fight.

*Netflix has a new Jane Austen adaptation starring Dakota Johnson.  *Insert Fifty Shades of Austen joke here.*

*TCM has the AFI tribute to Julie Andrews.  It's about time for her to show all these whippersnappers how it's done.

I finished season four of Stranger Things.  The season had some great moments but I'm pretty sure the finale could have been about an hour shorter.  Possibly more.  

⭐🔔 The Rehearsal (HBO, 11:00 PM) SERIES PREMIERE. 'Nathan Fielder returns to television for a new series that explores the lengths one man will go to reduce the uncertainties of everyday life. With a construction crew, a legion of actors, and seemingly unlimited resources, Fielder allows ordinary people to prepare for life's biggest moments by "rehearsing" them in carefully crafted simulations of his own design. When a single misstep could shatter your entire world, why leave life to chance?'
