How To with John Wilson
20208.1tv
Where to Watch
In a uniquely hilarious odyssey of self-discovery and cultural observation, documentary filmmaker and self-described "anxious New Yorker" John Wilson covertly and obsessively films the lives of his fellow New Yorkers while attempting to give everyday advice on relatable topics. The awkward contradictions of modern life are eased by Wilson’s candid, unpolished commentary. Building upon Wilson’s previously released "how to" short films, each episode takes wildly unexpected turns but is grounded in John's refreshing honesty.
Who would love this
- ♥Viewers who appreciate quirky, introspective, and deeply human documentaries would likely love this series. Fans of shows like "Nathan For You" (also produced by Nathan Fielder), or those who enjoy observational humor, philosophical musings on everyday life, and a distinct authorial voice will find much to appreciate. People who are drawn to explorations of vulnerability, connection, and the absurdities of modern urban living will also connect with the show.
Who might not
- ✗Those seeking straightforward, plot-driven narratives or conventional comedic pacing might find the show's meandering structure and awkward humor off-putting. Viewers who prefer slick, polished productions or dislike self-aware, introspective humor may not connect with Wilson's unique style. Additionally, those who are easily put off by unconventional subject matter or a tone that can shift from lighthearted to deeply melancholic might find it challenging.
