What makes this series an improvement on the first is that it is consistently and deliberately laugh-out-loud funny. As with the first, it is incredibly moving. But Fielder peppers it with far more gags and knowing winks to the audience, which helps to make his moments of insight all the more powerful.
What results is both sidesplitting and one of the most stressful television watching experiences in recent memory. .... His typically deadpan persona takes on new weight here. “The Rehearsal” remains one of the best comedies out there, but what’s at stake is no joke.

Don’t know if they could have made it any better. I hope there is a season 3 but I do not know how it could be topped.

SEASON 2
The final episode is one of the best works in the history of television.
The whole season has been incredibly funny and layered with genuine effort at saving peoples lives.
This final episode blew my mind though. Truly phenomenal.

SEASON 2
Season 2 is a gut-punch; an artful knock-out blow that further defies all classification, expectation, and logic.
Fielder is not unlike the pilots he’s studying, struggling to articulate himself under duress. By design, his exercises force him to confront his flaws and discover an inner confidence. He appears determined, to paraphrase Evanescence, to save himself from the nothing he’s become.
If you’ve been a fan of Fielder’s brand of humor over the years, or just want to see a comedy unlike anything you’ve seen before, this new season of The Rehearsal is for you.
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. .... This may be why the story of Season 2, if not its undeniably impressive stunts, can feel auxiliary — like a spinoff with an extremely specific, transportation-related theme.
This is arguably the point of it all — Fielder trying to set up the most extreme contrast between the task at hand and what his fictionalized self really cares about — but comedically, it doesn’t quite mesh. The season’s biggest laughs rarely have anything to do with his struggle for connection. And at the same time, the ridiculousness of how he tries to address the crash problem undercuts any attempt to play the personal material — including a discussion of whether Nathan is on the autism spectrum — even vaguely seriously.
It is a little like How to with John Wilson. It is difficult to know where episode is going at first. But in the end there is a big pay-off and a truly profound take away. It is hard not to cringe at all the construction of the sets and what seem to be needless actors. But in the end it is kind of cute and part of the whole concept of the show. It deserves a 10 for a lot of things - least of which is its originality and its boldness. The show commits to its concept, and isn't afraid of its clumsiness. It is a study in growth orientation!!
