Nobody Wants This (2024– )
10/10
Do yourself a favor and watch this!

Wow, just when I thought Netflix was starting to churn out more and more mundane content, we get this gem! This show reminded me of why I love watching good TV because of the way it makes me feel.

Nobody Wants This was a fantastic watch that I binged in a just before bed / just after waking up trance in front of the TV as I couldn't stop watching. Everything from the overall premise and general writing to the amazing casting that delivered stellar performances was such. Delight!

Being raised Jewish myself, I did identify with many of the themes and I thought they did a good job portraying Judaism without too many negative stereotypes (despite some chatter online I discovered) and the show was so great in how portrayed dating in 2024.

While I tend to love just about everything Kristen Bell has ever done, and ALL the cast was so amazing, I think the stand-out here is Adam Brody. I'm not if I've seen him in anything prior to this but his portrayal of a modern Rabbi opposite Kristen Bell was amazing. I definitely felt their chemistry and every scene with the two of them was so great to watch.

The supporting cast was superb and I absolutely believed every character shown. The pacing was good, well edited and shot.

I CAN'T WAIT for Season 2! :)
