The first episode was great, and the other 'real' rehearsal with the inheritance story was a true sequel. Nathan realized then that a rehearsal is meaningless without really being in the same spot. Without raising the stakes during the rehearsal.
But then it went way south. In the end they tried their best to try to wrap a bow on this turd. The series deteriorated after Nathan decided (as sociopathic as he is) to also *star* as a fake dad in his produced, written, hosted and directed show. The show lost all its drive, time and episodes just flew by without any real purpose.
But that's not the worst part. The worst part was how he toyed with kids emotions - sure a fatherless child actor who considers Nathan to be his real father is a fun chuckle at some hodgepodge New York party. But it is a tragedy! I have 2 kids and seeing this kid so confused about so basic thing is heartbreaking. This is not something to show or create a 'thing' around. Nathan spent the entire last few episodes just basically making fun of this kid. There was no new revelations, nothing discovered, no-one developing - just endless repeat of how this one kid ended up thinking he is his real dad.
The entire second half of the series is a conundrum because as I mentioned in the beginning, Nathan declared in the grandfather inheritance episode that a rehearsal is not real, it is meaningless as such, it does not work. It needs to have the same stake as the real experience. So why do the fake kid dad mom trainwreck? I have no idea.
