I’ve been following Nathan Fielders career for 10 years now and when ever he comes out with something new it always blows me away and this was no different, he is a true genius and innovator, he creates genres, this show blends horror and comedy and suspense and cringe like no other. All 3 main leads were incredible, Nathan as a loser obsessed with his wife was such an incredible character, Emma Stone as a white saviour, popular girl who thinks she’s changing the world is one of her best roles yet and Benny Safdie as a slimy director who will do anything to capture good content was amazing.
The collaboration between Benny and Nathan was something I never thought of before but it makes perfect sense, their specific skills complement each other so well, the iconic Safdie long pan shots suits this horror comedy so well.
The themes in this show of being white saviour, unrequited love, abuse, and fame is so good, the show is slow burn but it’s payoff is unbelievable.
Nathan Fielder might be the greatest filmmaker today, that’s a big statement but I truly believe it, I look forward to everything he makes and I can’t wait for what he does next.
