I was swept away in the romance and definitely binged this series. There was a lot of great writing, pacing, and acting; it was easy to fall in love. I agree - the rabbi is hot. : )

However, I felt a nagging discomfort with the portrayal of Jewish culture. Some innacuracies were just annoyingly jarring, like the Chanukah menorahs that kept appearing everywhere - his parents entry gate - for real? Or the vast wealth his first- generation immigrant parents had somehow amassed. Some, though, were more repellant, such as the constant use of the term, "shiksa," which is really not a nice thing to say. If I was around people who were earnestly using that term to describe someone, I would not want to hang out with them again. Adding to the offense, the first time the word is used, it is projected with scorn at a stranger based simply on how she looks. Repeatedly in the series, non-jews are identified by their blondeness. As a blonde Jewish woman, I am familiar with this kind of 'but you don't look Jewish" ignorance, but it doesn't come from within the Jewish community.

At best, these discordant elements felt under-researched; at their worst, they felt pandering and reliant on outdated racial stereotyping. I would love to see this improve in a second season!

First season was amazing. However watching season 2 I don't enjoy it as much. And I believe the reason is that the high of meeting someone new and portraying the emotions so many of us search or lack or whatever is so intoxicating, this is why it was so successful. As in life, first in love moments vs long run is a totally different story. So this is why I think this is not as enjoyable. I mean sure, maybe story could be better for 2nd but I honestly think actors are great, it's just the fact that we are all tired and enjoy more experiencing uplifting dreamy scenes than the reality of life and it's challenges which is navigating issues and various situations bla bla bla. At least this is my first though here.

I was so excited for this one! Some of the dialogue and parts of the storyline, especially in the first episode, missed the mark. A few minutes in I thought, is this going to suck?

Well, I stuck with it and ended up REALLY enjoying it. The love story was passionate and they definitely had chemistry. And that first kiss. WOOFTA. I think I also got pregnant.

Also, many laugh out loud funny moments. 100% my sense of humor.

Is it an Oscar winner? Probably not. Will people be offended? Absolutely. But it's a feel-good story that was an easy binge with lovable characters. Can't wait for Season 2.

This show is intoxicating. The script is funny, witty, and warm. The main characters have great chemistry and all the side characters all add their own appreciated flavor.

Kristen Bell is one of those actresses that makes the best choices for what she participates with and takes on, and this is no exception. This is a story that makes you want to be apart of their world. Adam Brody's character is like Seth but 20 years later- grown up, mature, and still charmingly funny.

I sincerely hope they renew the series and keep giving us more great content. One of my favorite light comedy shows of the year!

Although I usually love the romcom genre, Nobody Like This doesn't really grab me. Joanne and Noah's relationship doesn't make much sense - they have nothing in common, and their life choices don't align. I actually thought they would be better off apart. That said, there are some good moments and a few enjoyable episodes. Like most Netflix productions, the vibe is good and the overall look is great. Still, not much really happens, and the show ends up being kind of forgettable.
