In a uniquely hilarious odyssey of self-discovery and cultural observation, documentary filmmaker and self-described "anxious New Yorker" John Wilson covertly and obsessively films the lives of his fellow New Yorkers while attempting to give everyday advice on relatable topics. The awkward contradictions of modern life are eased by Wilson’s candid, unpolished commentary. Building upon Wilson’s previously released "how to" short films, each episode takes wildly unexpected turns but is grounded in John's refreshing honesty.

Sometimes a documentary, sometimes a mocumentary, sometimes a stand-up show with genuine insight to humanity. Unique...
The stuff John Wilson captures is unbelievably genuine, funny, and sad at the same time. S2’s “Dreams” is incredible.
The way John touches existentialism is genius, his awkwardness makes it funny and gives it personality, and his meekness makes you love him.
Puts life in perspective in a charming and original way
Docuserie about the important of observation
Interesting take. Felt like I was watching a documentary on the human species that wasn’t in your face about being a doc on humanity.
John Wilson shows life in New York for what it truly is, a box of chocolates. The show is somehow comforting and wacky at the same time.
Completely beautiful and skillfully put together. This is so different and refreshing. A very interesting look at the world.
Worth the watch. Campy, funny, and soulful!
This is so pleasant and comforting to watch. Informative. If you're a fan of Nathan Fielder you'll love this. I think he produced it..
