John Wilson in How to with John Wilson (2020)
Documentary filmmaker and self-described "anxious New Yorker" John Wilson continues his heartfelt mission of self-discovery, exploration and observation as he films the lives of his fellow New Yorkers while attempting to give everyday advice on six new deceptively simple topics. Building upon Season 1, the episodes take unexpected turns, but are grounded in John's refreshing honesty. Along with Wilson, the show is executive-produced by Nathan Fielder (Nathan for You), Michael Koman, and Clark Reinking.

    Funny, awkward, sweet, and surprisingly poignant.
    I was looking forward to this series since I saw the trailer. I loved the first episode. It was a great "slice of life" kind of show. I came in expecting a weird and funny show (which it is) but I also was pleasantly surprised by how touching it can be. I'm definitely on board for the whole season. I'm sure he shot the whole series/season pre-Covid. I hope this series is successful. If there is a second season, It would be interesting what this series would be like if he shot this during this time of Covid.

    It is one of the most unique shows I've ever seen, I loved the first episode. The b-roll he captures is amazing, and it feels both genuinely funny and genuinely melancholy at the same time. Looking forward to watching the rest.
