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.

After absolutely adoring season 1, I absolutely binged watched season 2 today. This felt like a different show with the same characters to be honest. It wasn't bad per se but it's lost a lot of it's punch. Without giving away spoilers these characters feel sanitized. Every one seems to have changed. I understand they changed up the writers in order to soften the characters but it's missing its charm. I didnt find myself really laughing out loud and was even tempted to skip forward a few times. It felt like we were just slugging through some episodes with filler. If there is a season three I hope they can bring back the magic.

I was so excited for this one! Some of the dialogue and parts of the storyline, especially in the first episode, missed the mark. A few minutes in I thought, is this going to suck?

Well, I stuck with it and ended up REALLY enjoying it. The love story was passionate and they definitely had chemistry. And that first kiss. WOOFTA. I think I also got pregnant.

Also, many laugh out loud funny moments. 100% my sense of humor.

Is it an Oscar winner? Probably not. Will people be offended? Absolutely. But it's a feel-good story that was an easy binge with lovable characters. Can't wait for Season 2.

This has gone from a charming , feel good, lovely romantic comedy, to feeling annoying and forced. Perhaps some shows should take the win after one season and leave us on a high note. I think the title is appropriate at this point, Nobody Wants This! I hope this is the last season because the writing is terrible. The charm is gone and Joanne has gone from quirky to unbearable. Please put this show out of its misery.

First season was amazing. However watching season 2 I don't enjoy it as much. And I believe the reason is that the high of meeting someone new and portraying the emotions so many of us search or lack or whatever is so intoxicating, this is why it was so successful. As in life, first in love moments vs long run is a totally different story. So this is why I think this is not as enjoyable. I mean sure, maybe story could be better for 2nd but I honestly think actors are great, it's just the fact that we are all tired and enjoy more experiencing uplifting dreamy scenes than the reality of life and it's challenges which is navigating issues and various situations bla bla bla. At least this is my first though here.
