How To with John Wilson • Season 1 Ratings & Reviews
Spokesman-Review (Washington)
Dan Webster
How To with John Wilson is a guide we could all benefit from watching.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Sean Clancy
I'm not convinced that he is the innocent observer he seems to portray, but it's still quite an adventure to follow him down these mundane paths to the absurd.
TIME Magazine
Judy Berman
As each inquiry unfolds, he observes people from all walks of life going about their daily existences, unaware they're being filmed. You won't find a better B-roll game on TV.
The New Yorker
Alexandra Schwartz
The oddball, comic show about New York City is the perfect documentary for our documentary-obsessed culture.
The New Yorker
Dan Pipenbring
"How To" may not teach you how to do much of anything, but it's still educational. It has plenty to say about neighborliness, mindfulness, and protecting some part of yourself from a city that demands everything.
AV Club
Allison Shoemaker
It's not often that a viewer comes across a TV series that feels completely and utterly itself.
Thrillist
Dan Jackson
The show's strange appeal lies in Wilson's canny ability to switch between memoir and reportage: He arrives at larger poetic truths by grounding the work in his own observations.
IndieWire
Steve Greene
The result is something that somehow blends the energies of local news reporting, public TV travelogues, "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie," and "Police Squad" double entendres.
Variety
Caroline Framke
At first, it's easy to get lost in the bizarre, idiosyncratic world of "How to..." But somewhere in its fourth and fifth episodes, it's hard not to try and do the kind of mental math that's become all too familiar now, many months into the pandemic.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Kathryn VanArendonk
It's a tightly matched combination of written narration and carefully selected clips, a partnership that dances back and forth between which piece is the setup and which is the punch line.
Vox
Allegra Frank
How To With John Wilson often twists into awkward shapes to get from its basic points A to its more peculiar points B, and the journey is always funny in its strangeness.
The Nation
Vikram Murthi
It's this simple way of working that elevates How To... beyond the realm of mere comedy into something more meaningful: a diaristic art piece that reflects modern life through the prism of an everyday urban historian.
The Ringer
Justin Sayles
"How to" is billed as a comedy, but that misses the mark of what it truly is. Mostly, it's a stunning act of documentary filmmaking.
Polygon
Matt Patches
Six episodes in and already the greatest TV show about New York City ever (apologies to Seinfeld).
Salon.com
Ashlie D. Stevens
Wilson crafts visual punchlines that elicit belly laughs and landscapes that will make you ache for the days you could have been outside, actually noticing things.
Hyperallergic
Dan Schindel
It's this kind of thinking outside the box that makes this show a continual joy to watch.
Decider
Joel Keller
We love seeing and hearing from the intensely uncomfortable Wilson, and marvel at how his filmmaking instincts take him in very strange and interesting directions.
The Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
The finale is a half-hour of television that turns How To With John Wilson from a drolly esoteric curiosity into a special document.
Decider
Josh Sorokach
Celebrates the weird, wonderful awkwardness of life. It's like going on an aggressively bizarre sightseeing tour of New York City, warts and all.
Rolling Stone
Alan Sepinwall
"How to" is simultaneously delightful and baffling, until it all fits together perfectly, like that was the plan all along. If you give a talented director a camera, he might make something great. John Wilson sure did.
