Nobody Wants This

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.

I really loved this one! Romantic comedies always follow the same formula, but this one has a lot of strong points - + I FELT the chemistry between the leads. It felt natural and harmonic. They played the characters so well! + The dialogue and relationships between the characters felt funny, witty and touching in the best way. + In a world that promotes representation, it's the first time that I saw a Jewish male love interest. I think it displayed beautiful and inclusive parts of the religion without putting it on a pedestal in any way. Great writing, great cast, and incredible chemistry made this a binge watch for me, followed by a quick search for "Will there be a season 2?". Loved this!

I am a huge Kristen Bell fan and this show is great.

The writing is fun and smart, the chemistry is real and the casting is perfect.

My only real regret is that the episodes are only a half hour. I am already done 6 out of 10.

Adam Brody is great in his role and the writing for his character is a smart evolution.

On a slightly different note, I would like to say that I have noticed that a lot of my favourite shows lately have been from Netflix. Whether it be this comedy or the Turning Point the Bomb and the Cold War documentary, they really have upped their game.

Once again loving Kristen Bell as always. I wonder if there will ever be a The Good Place movie or reunion? :)

Adam Brody and Kristen Bell have incredible on screen chemistry.

I really enjoyed this show - it was so much more than I was expecting.

It was easy to watch, relatable, super funny and charming throughout the entire 10 episodes. I do however wish the episodes were slightly longer - they averted about 26 - 30 minutes per episode but that also made it for a super easy watch. I binged the whole thing in one sitting last night.

I'm eagerly waiting for Netflix to confirm another season. If it doesn't get another, I'll be bummed. It left on a bit of a cliff hanger so I need more.

I'm already starting my second rewatch of the series.

I love this! I binged the entire series in one day and I think it is near perfect. It's like watching a good romantic comedy film but stretched out into a 10 episode TV series which makes it all the more satisfying.

Kristen Bell and Adam Brody have the most amazing chemistry together. They are charming and their connection seems genuine, their banter realistic. It's rare to see a couple be so believable together from the minute they are on screen together. The way he looks at her gave me butterflies and I am an ancient 45 year old woman who rarely feels that way when watching anything anymore.

I can't recommend this programme highly enough!
