For years, Doug Collins has been wading through a routine unsatisfying job and an increasingly miserable relationship. After his girlfriend moves out, Doug pushes himself to live a more fulfilling life starting with a trek to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Acting
Brian Geraghty's committed sadboy energy carries the whole thing
Cinematography
Actual Kilimanjaro footage vs. Doug's fantasy sequences
Director
Walter Strafford
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Walter Strafford actually summited Kilimanjaro to scout locations, then got altitude sickness and had to be carried down. Method filmmaking gone wrong.
This quietly predicted the 2010s 'sad millennial man goes somewhere to find himself' microgenre that Peak TV would eventually exhaust. Doug walked so Fleabag's Hot Priest could run.
