The latest HBO docuseries, Pee-Wee as Himself, is a fascinating all-access look into Paul Reubens through director Matt Wolf's lens.

The 2-part HBO documentary reintroduces Paul Reubens to viewers who only knew him as Pee-wee Herman.

On July 31, 2023, the news of Reubens' death came as a shock to documentary filmmaker Matt Wolf, who had spent a year trying to convince him to make the ambitious two-part documentary “Pee-wee as Himself,” now streaming on HBO Max, and over 40 hours interviewing him on camera.

Also on TV this week, a new season of Nine Perfect Strangers premieres on Hulu, and new episodes of Couples Therapy debut on Paramount+ with Showtime.
