Viewers have been urged not to miss out on an 'astonishing' comedy series that is available to stream for free.

The show follows a unique premise that is part documentary and part comedic series, but all three seasons have landed a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes.

How To With John Wilson is available to watch in its entirety on for UK viewers.

In each episode, documentary filmmaker John Wilson embarks on a journey of self-discovery and social observation by filming the everyday lives of his fellow New York City residents.

Framed as tutorials, each episode concentrates on a specific subject, with Wilson attempting to deal with his own personal issues while providing voiceover for his footage.

Topics covered include scaffolding, real estate investments and even finding a public bathroom.

Wilson often strikes up conversations with people he meets along the way which often leads to unexpected scenarios.

Fans who have discovered the series on iPlayer have been singing its praises, urging comedy fans not to miss out.

Posting on social media, one said: "Amazing and hilarious, bone-dry humour and he has an incredible eye for the unusual in the everyday."

Another suggested that its modest existence on the streaming service proves its quality.

They posted: "How To with John Wilson is absolutely delightful. You can tell it's good because the BBC have bought it from America and buried it a la Seinfeld and The X-Files."

Each individual series has a resounding 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes where it has been described as 'surprising, thoughtful and superbly strange'.

Indeed, it has proved a critical darling as a review in the Hollywood Reporter stated: "How To with John Wilson is funny, sad, and, in the end, shockingly profound."

More and more fans are finding it on the BBC's streaming service, with several sharing their opinion.

Some have described what they admire about the series as a whole, while others pick out particular episodes they are most fond of.

Posting on Reddit, one declared: "How to Appreciate Wine is a masterpiece and I wish I could watch it for the first time again."

Another said: "Great show. I find most episodes go down paths I never thought they would, include some of the most awkward people and discussions ever filmed, or both."

How To With John Wilson Series 1-3 is streaming on BBC iPlayer.
