Nathan For You


Nathan For You stars Nathan Fielder as a business guru, who tries to help companies expand their market and make more money. Nathan has a deadpan approach and manages to come up with the most convoluted ideas for the companies he helps. He convinces a gas station to offer insanely cheap prices after rebate, with the catch being that for people to get their rebate, they have to climb to the top of a mountain and endure a series of challenges. Each scheme is more complex than the last. His coffee shop Dumb Starbucks became a phenomenon. News crews came to interview him, not knowing it was all being done for a joke.

Despite not being a regular sitcom-type show, there are still overarching story lines throughout the seasons. After helping out the businesses, he continually asks the owners if they want to hang out, only to face rejection. One particularly memorable rejection was from the private investigator. The private investigator called Nathan "the wizard of loneliness", leading Nathan to reflect on all the times he has been rejected.

Nathan For You is an original and different concept that is nowhere else on television. It is worth a watch and will leave you wanting more. I highly recommend watching it.
