Nobody Wants This: A romantic drama that isn’t hopeless after all
Netflix’s Nobody Wants This has quickly become a fan favorite, thanks to its exceptional writing, talented cast, and heartwarming storytelling. One of the series’ standout features is the witty and relatable dialogue penned by Erin Foster. Her ability to capture the nuances of modern relationships and create characters that feel incredibly authentic is evident in every scene.

At the heart of the series is the captivating chemistry between Kristen Bell and Adam Brody (Hello, Seth Cohen). Their on-screen camaraderie is electric, bringing a sense of realism and depth to their characters’ complex relationship. They wear their vulnerabilities and short-comings on their sleeves, which is what connects them to the audience the most.
The series boasts a stellar ensemble cast that complements the central duo perfectly. The loser siblings played by Justin Lupe (Morgan) and Timothy Simmons (Sasha) will make you miss the frenemies born to your parents.
Here are 6 reasons why ‘Nobody Wants This’ hits all the right notes:
Relatable Characters
The series introduces us to a diverse cast of characters who feel incredibly authentic. Their struggles and  quirks are relatable, making it easy for viewers to connect with them on a personal level.

Exceptional Writing
The writing in Nobody Wants This is sharp, witty, and emotionally resonant. The dialogue is natural and flows effortlessly, creating believable interactions between the characters. The usual complain viewers have with dialogues is that it doesn’t resonate with conversations people have in real life — that’s not the case with this show. From the brain rot rambling to the inside jokes between siblings, we’ve been there and done that.

Strong Performances
The romantic genre has been sleeping on Adam Brody’s talent. While he proved his green flag abilities as Seth Cohen in The OC, it was about time he was roped in to do a mature show, depicting a relationship between older millennials. Also, him as a hot Rabbi? Sign us up to  the synagogue. Kristen Bell does comedy well and everyone knows that, but here, you see her play a character that is strong but complicated, emotionally mature but vulnerable — the writers have leaned into it beyond the surface.

A Fresh Perspective on Relationships
Nobody Wants This offers a refreshing take on romantic relationships. The characters aren’t blinding falling in love for no rhyme or reason, there’s a synergy between them from the go, and it has been developed on, through the course of the show. The initial insecurities of getting to know someone and the fear of being rejected has been tapped into. Both Noah and Joanne have a distinctive personality, but their compatibility is based on their common humour and ability to enjoy each other’s company, despite their varying interest.
Humorous Moments
There’s hahaha funny, and then there’s clever writing — this show is about the latter. The dialogues don’t make you cringe, instead, you’ll find yourself chuckling at all odd moments.
A Diverse Representation
After obsessing over the priest from Fleabag, it’s about time we simp on Adam Brody’s traditional-but-equivocal Rabbi. Also, with the romance market saturated with Gen-Z narratives, it’s interesting to see a certain amount of attention returning to stories about couple in their late ’30s and ’40s.
