How To with John Wilson is an American television comedy docuseries created by filmmaker John Wilson. The series, executive produced by Nathan Fielder, Michael Koman and Clark Reinking, was ordered by HBO. It premiered on October 23, 2020.

On December 9, 2020, HBO renewed the series for a second season, which premiered on November 26, 2021. In February 2022, the series was renewed for a third season. In May 2023, HBO announced it would premiere on July 28 and would be the final season, with Wilson stating that he had decided it would be the last one.

Premise

John Wilson attempts to give advice while dealing with his own personal issues. The 25-minute episodes, framed as tutorials and filmed mainly on the streets of New York City, cover topics from small talk to scaffolding. While each episode initially focuses on its title topic, in the course of his investigation, Wilson meets people and strikes up conversations that lead in unpredictable and diverse directions. For example, the episode "How to Improve Your Memory" ends up featuring a conference on the Mandela effect in Ketchum, Idaho.

 

I'm a little surprised I couldn't find any mention of this on the forum. Did anyone else watch?  I started hearing buzz about it recently because the final season just finished.  I went back and eventually watched all three seasons.  It took a while to warm up to it, but I enjoyed it.  It was nice to have a little show on the back burner to watch an episode of when I needed a break.

I'm glad someone added this.  I really like this show.  I"m in the middle of season one.  It's really funny and really smart.  I don't love the Nathan Fielder shows.  I like this one much better. 

I have another friend who tried it and didn't like it at all, but she doesn't have my same sense of humor.

I’m back to watching season one and it’s so great. No love here on the forum. His jokes where he finds some sight on the street like a toy horse.  are just Genius.
