HOW TO WITH JOHN WILSON
HBO’s comedy docuseries HOW TO WITH JOHN WILSON (trailer here) is midway through its second season, and it has been just as funny and surprising as the breakthrough first season was. Compiled from observational footage of daily life in New York City, John Wilson’s series crafts silly, meandering, and sometimes sentimental narratives thinly veiled as a “how to” guide for basic tasks. This season’s third episode, ostensibly a guide to finding a parking spot in New York, captures a neighborhood block in Queens balletically coordinating to move their parked cars for a street sweeper before moving onto an interview with a purveyor of coffins (the final parking spot) that look like cars. If you haven’t given this unique series a try before, it’s definitely worth checking out.
