Season 1 Review:
Much like Noah is won over by Joanne's candor and bubbly personality, the audience is also instantly drawn into their bond. Bell and Brody are simply irresistible as the show's leading pair, making their onscreen partnership feel like a match made in millennial heaven.

Season 1 Review:
Bell and Brody have an easy touch that gives the comedy real buoyancy. .... Figuring out how and when to give a partner grace is an ongoing process that tests all relationships. Joanne and Noah manage it with emotional intelligence and emotional intimacy, which is rare on TV. Lovers don’t have to be written as immature or cruel to create stakes or capture your attention. Joanne and Noah are fully realized characters who happen to be great screen company.

Season 1 Review:
It's possible a story that relies on stereotypes and cultural truisms could have turned into something soapy and insensitive, but propelled by its leads and keen sense of modern comedy, "Nobody" adds up its disparate parts into something delightful and delicious. The 10-episode season is bingeable in the most literal sense; you'll want to eat it all up in one sitting.

Season 2 Review:
The true draw here was and will always be the palpable central romance. The dilemmas faced by Noah and Joanne feel relatable and serious, packaged and delivered in a lighthearted yet captivating manner. And as far as TV rom-coms go, it’s so easy to fall for this one.

Season 2 Review:
With a respectable joke rate – though we’re talking smirk-inducing wisecracks rather than belly laughs – and a steady stream of keenly observed details (Joanne’s palpable delight at getting the pious Noah to properly kvetch; Noah’s nice-guy credentials crumbling ever-so-slightly when Joanne finds out how he treated previous partners), Nobody Wants This is easy to buy into and easy to love.

Season 1 Review:
Nobody Wants This means to serve up a good time, and that’s precisely what it delivers. There’s a real frisson to the way the show goes down so smoothly. Bell and Brody possess chemistry that’s simply bursting at the seams, and the show honors the fantasy of its genre by keeping the interpersonal conflict to an absolute minimum.

Season 1 Review:
“Nobody Wants This” succeeds by keeping faith with its genre. It is not a nostalgic curio — the characters and the rhythms of their interactions feel up-to-date, at least by mainstream Hollywood standards — but there is a comforting continuity with things you have seen and liked before. Familiar moves are executed with confidence and a certain amount of style. That smooth rom-com fluency, and the feeling it inspires that here is something we have been missing.

Season 1 Review:
Even if the whole opposites-attract setup can read as artificial, the warmth between Bell and Brody feels exhilaratingly real. You just want to see them banter and kiss and snuggle and thrive. Implausible as it can be in terms of interfaith representation, through sheer chemistry and chutzpah, Nobody Wants This earns enough goodwill to merit another attempt in Season 2.

Season 2 Review:
In terms of plot and purpose, this installment is essentially a placeholder. But hanging out with these two families is still mostly fun, if sometimes a bit frustrating. And as long as you’re tuning in just to be with these people, to perhaps laugh at their escapades, to maybe learn a bit about Judaism if you’re a goy, then you’ll be satisfied.

Season 1 Review:
There is a certain amount of suspension of disbelief required for Nobody Wants This. .... The highly bingeable series has excellent comedy writing and a strong cast who move the episodes along at a quick clip. But even with all its on-point humor, Nobody Wants This has an undercurrent of seriousness, which puts it a few notches above the average sitcom.

Season 2 Review:
The new episodes reveal a show that’s chosen narrative stasis rather than risk developing its characters and premise beyond the safe boundaries established in season 1. The saving grace is Nobody's excellent ensemble cast, which elevates the predictable material into a breezy and pleasant — if not particularly memorable — viewing experience.
