The Rehearsal (TV series)

i liked the part where he rehearsed

I've watched recently but I didn't really want to go on serialized or whatever. So I was actually dreaming something like this can be made. Everyone loves to talk about S2 which is well deserved but I liked S1 too I think. Even the initial premise of simulating parenthood was daring, but I guess the aftercare of worrying too much about the kids after the Rehearsal was just as compelling. It gradually turning into a questioning of the persona and identity was intimate and strange. I think I have mentioned before some concepts of a "pilot project" where I wanted to go in depth about interpersonal relationships, communication, and social constructions of pilots. I think he's really done the ideal hypothetical show/media/thingy to do it. The real barrier is the belonging to the group, which is of course purposeful to keep the safety of the industry. Seeing how unorthodox his journey into pilothood was great, but the best part was crossing the rubicon where he ultimately denies himself his medical test results in order to keep being a pilot. He could check the results off camera or just to himself for all I care and it doesn't negate the weight of the situation. It makes total sense that That level of self-reflexivity would gravitate towards communities like aviation. The desire to maintain composure and all that. Unforgettable and possibly cannot ever be repeated.
