You Can See Everything is already shaping up to be one of 2026’s surprise hits. The documentary, chronicling former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes, has drawn rave reviews from audiences and critics alike. It’s also a showcase for co-director Nathan Fielder, one of the more versatile artists in Hollywood. The actor, comedian, filmmaker and producer is a true one of one, consistently taking viewers on hilarious, often unpredictable, journeys.
Before the release of his newest film, which of Fielder’s previous work should you check out this weekend? Let’s break down three must-watch Nathan Fielder shows ahead of You Can See Everything.
Nathan For You
Where it all started, Nathan For You was Fielder’s first big solo endeavor. Granted, the Canadian had done plenty of work prior to getting his own show. However, this was what sparked his nearly 15-year run as one of the industry’s most inventive comedians.
A big part of what makes Nathan For You work is self-parody. Fielder plays a more socially awkward version of himself, handing out advice to small businesses. His methods to increase profit typically fell somewhere between absurd and audacious. From pet cemeteries to a Hollywood souvenir shop, no industry was immune from Fielder’s disastrous efforts to bring in more customers. In many ways, the Comedy Central program was a glimpse at the future of his career. Nathan For You certainly delivered laughs, but it also had its share of surprisingly poignant moments. Look no further than the series finale in 2017, “Finding Frances.” To get the ‘gist’ of what Nathan is about, there’s no better place to start than here.
The Rehearsal
After the end of Nathan For You, Fielder wasn’t quite as busy. Granted, he did serve as a producer on several intriguing projects in the years following, including How To with John Wilson. Still, he didn’t create another show until 2022’s The Rehearsal. For longtime fans, it was worth the wait. Season 1 started with a simple, yet somewhat disturbing, premise: what if you could ‘rehearse’ social interactions? Naturally, it would be Fielder serving as a coach of sorts, helping people navigate life’s more complicated interpersonal moments.
With that being said, this is a Nathan Fielder project: nothing is ever quite as it seems. A never-ending maze of set pieces and background actors helped to blur the line between reality and fiction on The Rehearsal. After a handful of episodes, it was clear that the HBO project was unlike anything ever seen before on television. Season 2 in 2025 expanded on this even further. Fielder’s attempts to improve airline safety eventually took the comedian all the way to a Congressional Subcommittee hearing in Washington D.C. Along the way, there’s a feud with a certain streaming service, cloned dogs and a recreation of famed pilot Sully Sullenberger’s entire life. Writing out the previous sentence doesn’t do this season justice…just check it out for yourself.
The Curse
If you thought The Rehearsal was strange, it’s got nothing on The Curse. This one is worth a look just based off of its star power. Fielder co-created the Showtime series with acclaimed director Benny Safdie (Uncut Gems), and the result is something that can only be described as surreal. Adding to the intrigue, Fielder co-starred alongside Academy Award winning actress Emma Stone.
The basic premise of The Curse is the following: a married couple flips houses in New Mexico for a living on their HGTV show (titled Fliplanthropy). Despite claims of helping out the local neighborhood, their efforts to modernize and refurbish existing homes are seen as an effort to gentrify the neighborhood of Española. Safdie is also on screen, portraying a morally questionable reality TV producer that seeks to ramp up the drama (real or unreal).When Asher Siegel (Fielder) is ‘cursed’ by a young girl, it sets into motion a bizarre series of plot events. It’s indescribable, often slow-paced television, for better or for worse.
Without giving too much away, this one isn’t for everybody. Still, even those that don’t love The Curse can respect it’s willingness to take risks while telling an unconventional story. It’s also a testament to Fielder’s growing reputation around Hollywood that he got to work alongside a superstar of Stone’s caliber. An unexpected twist also makes the finale worth watching.
