Nobody Wants This

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 has gone from a charming , feel good, lovely romantic comedy, to feeling annoying and forced. Perhaps some shows should take the win after one season and leave us on a high note. I think the title is appropriate at this point, Nobody Wants This! I hope this is the last season because the writing is terrible. The charm is gone and Joanne has gone from quirky to unbearable. Please put this show out of its misery.

Season 1 was delightful and charming. Season 2 is full of unlikeable, entitled characters & thin storylines. I think the leads are doing the best they can with what they've been given, but the writing is pretty awful and forced. Most of it is unoriginal, seen-this-before kinda stuff, trying too hard to be timely or "current" and it just comes off as weak.

And my GOD with the ridiculously forced product placements! Just stop - it's distracting and dumb.

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.

I've just binge watched the series. Genuinely funny, and captured many essences of Jewish family life. Cleverly done, with great characters and acting. Kristen Bell, Adam Brody, and the other key characters were great, particularly Noah's Mum (the quintessential Jewish matriarch), Joanne's sister, Noah's brother Sacha, and Sacha's wife. Really hope there's a Season 2 to explore Joanne & Noah's relationship further, and see what the future holds for both of them personally and in their careers. I feel there is room for character development for both of Joanne's parents, especially her relationship with her father.
