It started with a simple premise: Nathan Fielder uses HBO’s unbelievably large budget to stage immersive replicas of social situations so members of the public can prepare for difficult conversations no matter what goes wrong. Now, in Season 2, Nathan is setting his sights to the skies by trying to help pilots assert themselves and prevent crashes.
