    Nobody Want This has some funny banter, particularly whenever our lead couple are joined by their respective siblings. [Oct 2024, p.77]

    Nobody Wants This has room to grow in a second season that I’d still love to see, despite my reservations. In response to the show’s title, it isn’t that I don’t want this. I actually want this badly. But to reference a complete unconnected rom-com … it’s complicated.

    Noughties nostalgists will probably love it, but it’s the up-to-date elements that grate.

    Despite the name, plenty of people will want to watch “Nobody Wants This.” I just doubt they’ll have lasting memories of it. Not that there’s much to remember, in terms of either conflict or depth of character.
