The Jan. 6 hearings have been packaged like TV shows: Each episode has a plot, and some special guest stars, announced in advance. As a miniseries, the verdict is in: This particular show is a hit.

A new six-part documentary, directed by Ethan Hawke, pulls from interviews with the couple as well as with their Hollywood friends to provide an unvarnished view of their careers and lengthy marriage.

TV critic DAVID BIANCULLI says The Rehearsal is unlike any TV show he's ever seen, and he's not even sure if he'd classify it as a comedy. But whatever Nathan Fielder is up to here, he's fascinated by it.
