Netflix’s hit romantic comedy, Nobody Wants This, has returned with a fresh season, starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody in the lead. The show’s nuanced take on modern relationships, laced with wit and warmth, has made it a favourite among Indian romcom fans and global audiences alike. Critics highlight the charming chemistry of its stars, engaging comic performances, and a storyline that dares to blend emotional depth with light-hearted humour.
Kristen Bell and Adam Brody shine in Season 2
Nobody Wants This follows the journey of Joanne, an agnostic relationship podcaster (Kristen Bell), and Noah, an unconventional rabbi (Adam Brody), as they navigate love despite wildly different backgrounds. The second season throws new challenges their way as they attempt to balance career ambitions, faith, and family.
Viewers have praised the relatable portrayal of millennial relationships, with many pointing out the palpable chemistry between Bell and Brody. Supporting characters add further zing, especially Joanne’s lively sister (Justine Lupe) and Noah’s quirky brother (Timothy Simons), providing both comic relief and dramatic tension.
Critical reception: A romcom with heart, but not without flaws
Though the series continues to delight with its infectious humour and heartfelt moments, some reviewers feel that its depiction of Jewish women still lacks nuance, despite improvements in the latest season’s writing team. Others note that while the show is easy to binge-watch and consistently entertaining, it sometimes plays safe, never fully venturing into complex territory. Despite these critiques, the show’s Emmy-nominated performances and endearing character dynamics have resonated well with audiences and critics.
