Where to Watch The Naked Director
- Daniel GustavssonJanuary 10, 2026I just finished season 1 of this, and I think I'm gonna stop. I like it, but it does get very repetitive. The acting is kinda weird as well. The main guy for example basically turns completely silent for a good amount of the show. The story gets predictable as well, but I suppose since it's part biography that is to be expected.
