The TVI Take
Nathan Fielder and the Safdie brothers create a profoundly unsettling series about a couple producing an HGTV-style show while gentrifying a New Mexico town. Exceptionally high cognitive demands — the show weaponizes discomfort and ambiguity like nothing else on TV.
Minimal educational value. A singular viewing experience that makes you question what you're watching and why.
