Great article on The New Yorker about The Rehearsal:

The first season of “The Rehearsal” seemed to exhaust all possibilities for the conceit that acting—the science of the artificial—could provide a prophylactic for life. It did not. The second season is, somehow, even more berserk than the first, but it’s also more disciplined and coherent.

Do not read this if you haven’t seen season 2. It spoils everything in the show.
