The following contains spoilers for The Rehearsal<\/strong> S1E6, “Pretend Daddy” (written by Nathan Fielder & Carrie Kemper & Eric Notarnicola and directed by Nathan Fielder)<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

As the first season of The Rehearsal<\/em> comes to an end, I find myself wondering how much of what happened within it was planned from the beginning. There are those who seem to have been thinking (rather cynically, in my opinion) that we\u2019d ultimately find out that everyone in the series is an actor, or that everything has been scripted, but I\u2019ve never thought this would be the case. Though that doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019ve been seeing unfiltered reality either.<\/p>\n

Obviously the events of the series have been framed by structures both within and without, even as The Rehearsal<\/em> has complicated the very distinction between inside and outside<\/a>. And obviously someone like Angela was seeking fame from the show. She\u2019s been releasing reaction videos.<\/p>\n

S1E6 features a couple of moments where Nathan asks whether children understand the concept of acting. Do we?<\/p>\n

Certainly some things in The Rehearsal<\/em> Season 1 were planned from the outset, like the basic structure moving from Episode 1 to Episode 2, and surely \u201cThe Fielder Method<\/a>\u201d was a part of the idea from the beginning, as there was really nothing in the narrative movement of the show that necessitated it. But by and large, I interpret Fielder to be creating situations with The Rehearsal<\/em> that he then allows to play out, adapting to what happens to determine what comes next.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a beautiful irony in that, insofar as the whole conceit of the show involves pre-planning for everything as much as possible.<\/p>\n

\"Nathan

\u201cPretend Daddy\u201d centers on Nathan\u2019s relationship with Remy, one of the children who has played Adam, who doesn\u2019t want to leave when he is replaced by Liam because Adam has gotten older. We learn that Remy doesn\u2019t have a real father in his life, and he seems to have built a strong attachment to his pretend daddy Nathan (the term in psychoanalysis would be cathexis<\/a>).<\/p>\n

To his credit, Nathan can\u2019t brush this off. It\u2019s sad and disturbing, and I have to believe it\u2019s something that really happened in the process of making The Rehearsal<\/em>, as opposed to something they\u2019d mapped out from the beginning.<\/p>\n

In a weird way, some might find it consoling to think otherwise, despite the mental gymnastics that would be involved in thinking that Remy was just pretending to be upset, but I actually think it would be more disturbing that way, if somehow Fielder was getting a child to fake this kind of distress. Whatever the reality, I choose to believe this is all genuine.<\/p>\n

Of course it\u2019s also disturbing for the distress to be real, and of course it might mess a fairly young boy without a dad up to spend weeks with a man pretending to be his father. But it\u2019s also poignant that he loves Nathan, and I think Nathan loves him too, in his way. At least he cares enough to maintain contact.<\/p>\n

In fact, he seems to care so much that The Rehearsal<\/em> spirals out into an attempt to recreate past events to see where things went wrong. It\u2019s worth noting that this is actually an inversion of the premise, even if the spirit is the same, and even if we saw the first iteration of this back in \u201cThe Fielder Method.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here in S1E6, Nathan carries the \u201cretrospective rehearsal\u201d to absurd lengths, as he ultimately takes on the role of Amber and has Liam pretend to be Remy. And it\u2019s worth noting how the soundtrack becomes downright ominous as this carries forward, as if we needed a musical cue to know that Nathan is going down a darkly neurotic path, veering far from anything that could be called reality.<\/p>\n

\"Nathan
Courtesy of HBO<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So the final moments of \u201cPretend Daddy\u201d hit at once both as the culmination of this movement and as a moment of catharsis. It\u2019s quite striking. Has Nathan become truly unhinged, or has he finally found genuine emotional connection? (Why not both?)<\/p>\n

Of course, when he tells Liam that he\u2019s his dad, he is really talking to the Remy that Liam is pretending to be and, as Liam rightly notes, Nathan is supposed to be pretending to be Remy\u2019s mom. So the scene breaks down, and the blurred lines between reality and pretense that have formed the tension of the series to this point snap.<\/p>\n

Roll credits.<\/p>\n

\"Nathan

The Rehearsal<\/em> has been renewed for a second season<\/a>, but I honestly have no idea where the show might go from here. By the end of the Season 1 finale, Nathan has pushed the idea of rehearsing for reality so far that it has almost come around to touch reality, leaving the smallest gap which makes everything uncanny (and deeply funny).<\/p>\n

Overall, the series lampoons rationality itself. Nathan wonders how he could possibly move on from a mistake without knowing what he could have done to avoid it, which is eminently rational, but the point is that we have to accept that we can’t always know. Particularly when it comes to our interactions with other people, we have to learn to cope with the fact that we can\u2019t always right past wrongs, or even know what we could have done differently. Our relationships are too complex for that. Angela is always going to take her tea and leave.<\/p>\n

\"Nathan

And this is what I take to be the lesson The Rehearsal<\/em> is teaching us behind our backs: that the whole approach to life Nathan Fielder (by which I mean the character played by Nathan Fielder) is taking is doomed to a particular kind of failure. He demonstrates as much, rigorously.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also something really refreshing in how The Rehearsal<\/em> interrogates itself as Nathan faces what has happened with Remy. He\u2019s grappling with the real-life consequences of what happened in the staged rehearsal, and maybe this was always a part of the point and a part of the plan for the series in its broad strokes. It\u2019s impossible to know, but it opens a whole thicket of interesting questions about what’s real and what isn’t, which implicates the whole of what’s known as reality television.<\/p>\n

If Nathan, Remy, and Amber all sat down with Oprah and said these events were all scripted, we\u2019d still have to decide whether to believe them. And I, for one, wouldn\u2019t. It’s just more enjoyable to not believe that.<\/p>\n

Did the waivers people had to sign to be part of The Rehearsal<\/em> differ meaningfully from the ones people sign to be on a show like The Bachelor<\/em>? Or does your standard reality TV contract allow for the possibility of wrecking a child’s life?<\/p>\n

I think Remy is fine, and\/or will be fine, but my only evidence is within the show itself. And even if he is OK, The Rehearsal<\/em> clearly shows how it could have caused him actual trauma through his participation.<\/p>\n

Is this how we want things to be?<\/p>\n

I guess so, because I’m looking forward to watching Season 2. \t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
