Why John Wilson is the weirdo that could change how you think about your city
In spite of its name, How To with John Wilson is probably one of the worst how-to shows ever made. One of the jokes behind the HBO documentary series is that each episode, while ostensibly about how to do something, jettisons the topic as quickly as possible in order to explore something else entirely. In the third and final season (which premiered on July 28), the first episode, “How to Find a Public Restroom,” eventually pivots to a rumination on diminishing public space, and later “How to Watch Birds,” well — you probably won’t believe what that one ends up being about.
