If the early 2010s was a golden era for depictions of Bushwick in the popular imagination – the “Girls” episode “Welcome to Bushwick a.k.a. The Crackcident” comes to mind – then the rest of the decade quietly belonged to neighboring Ridgewood. Its brimming, gentrified tensions appeared in the center of the 2016 movie “White Girl,” the neighborhood convincingly passed for century-old South Philly in “The Irishman,” and now its mundane streets have been immortalized as the primary setting of comedian John Wilson’s ambient, observational TV show – “How To with John Wilson” – whose second season aired last December.
