      Netflix’s ‘Nobody Wants This’ gets millennial romance right, here’s why

      by

      Life

      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.

      Emily in Paris is coming back for Season 5: Everything to know

      by

      Life

      by Ruman Baig
      2 hours ago

      After yet another successful season, Emily in Paris has been renewed for season 5 by Netflix. Lily Collins shared the news on Instagram, while cheekily sipping on a cup of Italian espresso (obviously), hinting on the direction of where the storyline is headed.

      Season 4 ended on yet another cliffhanger about Emily’s love life, but this time, she’s in Rome. let’s breakdown the last installment, shall we?
      If you’ve already watched the 4th season of Emily in Paris, let’s address the most important question — are you team Gabriel or team Marcelo?

      Everyone’s favourite American-in-Paris, Emily, played by Lily Collins returned with the show’s 4th season last month. The second half of the season dropped last week and let’s just say, the drama in her rollercoaster life continued to keep us hooked.
      The season began with the golden confusion that has now become a redundant — will Emily and Gabriel get together? Spoiler alert: they do. But, to everyone’s disappointment, the couple barely makes it out of their honeymoon phase, before calling it quits on the icy French slopes. Reason? Mademoiselle Camille (how original) and an apparent fake pregnancy.

      The will-they-wont they trope between Emily and Gabrielle was stretched for so long, that eventually when they did get together, the chemistry didn’t live up to the amplified hype. Which is why, when a new man was introduced in Emily’s life (sorry, Alife), minutes before the anti-climatic breakup with the resident hot chef, it felt like a welcoming pivot in the story.
      The second half of the season gave us a new internet boyfriend to crush on. Eugenio Franceschini, the Italian actor was roped in to play the part of Marcello Muratori. A refreshing departure from the French and the British hottie, Marcello came in guns blazing for Emily’s heart — the Loro-Piana-style-quiet-lxuury-Italian-old-money story line that he was given also helped.

      Whisking her away to Rome and showing her the city on his classic Italian vespa earned him the brownie points amongst the ladies.
      On the work front, Emily continued being the character that saves the day — all while intermingling it with her already complicated love life. Picture this: Her French ex (Gabriel) is still an existing client, Her British ex (Alfie) works with one of Agence Grateau’s clients, and her soon to be next, Italian fashion Mogul (Marcello), will also be joining the roster.

      With the Muratori’s giving their precious brand to Agence Grateau for revival, Emily has both work and play tying her down to Rome. The season ends for Emily with a new apartment, a new city and a new man — a serious déjà vu to the pilot episode.
      What happens next? Well, that should all unfold in season 5. Until then, au revoir, or, should we now say arrivederci? *wink wink.*

      Ah, Bridgerton. The Netflix phenomenon that swept us all away to a world of extravagant balls, glittering gowns, and gossip sharper than Queen Charlotte’s wit. 

      via GIPHY

      Bridgerton beyond the boisterous romance

      via GIPHY

      But beneath the romance and social climbing, there’s a surprising depth to these characters, inspired by Julia Quinn’s witty and beloved novels. From the formidable Bridgerton matriarch, Violet, to the enigmatic Lady Danbury, each personality brings a delicious flavor to the Regency pot. So, which Bridgerton character most resembles your own inner debutante (or, ahem, rake)? Let the celestial tea leaves unfurl and reveal your social season destiny.
      The Brigerton world woven by Julia Quinn and Shonda Rhimes

      Now, before we delve into the astrological dance, a brief history lesson for the uninitiated. Bridgerton takes us on a whirlwind tour of Regency London’s high society, a world obsessed with appearances, reputation, and of course, the perfect marriage match. Quinn’s novels, brimming with social commentary and a dash of scandal, breathe life into these characters, making them far more than just corseted caricatures. We see ambition simmer beneath polite smiles, love blossom in unexpected places, and the unyielding strength of family ties.

      Alright, enough with the pleasantries, on to the real question: who are you in this grand Regency drama? Buckle up,because we’re about to unleash your inner Bridgerton based on the stars!

      Society’s darling! Or perhaps a wallflower yearning for a scandalous twist? Dear reader, wonder no more! The stars, much like Lady Whistledown herself, hold the secrets to your Bridgertonian identity.
      Delve into the following to discover which captivating character from the ton perfectly embodies your zodiac sign:

      So there you have it, dear reader! The stars have spoken, and the carriage awaits to whisk you away to your perfect Bridgertonian social season. Remember, whether you’re a diamond of the first water or a charming rogue, embrace your inner Bridgerton character – after all, a bit of scandal never hurt anyone (except maybe Marina Thompson, but that’s a story for another day).
