The series named “Nobody Wants This” may not sound appealing, but I believe many viewers will find it captivating.

There’s something utterly delightful about Netflix’s new romantic comedy featuring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody. This series is a perfect pick-me-up for millennials who grew up watching “Veronica Mars” and “The O.C.” “Nobody” (currently available for streaming, ★★★½ out of four) might just rekindle your faith in love. The plot follows a straightforward yet charming opposites-attract narrative involving a grounded rabbi (Brody) and a cheeky agnostic (Bell) who are drawn irresistibly together. Expect tender, longing gazes, cultural misadventures, and plenty of playful uses of the Yiddish word “shiksa” (referring to a non-Jewish woman).

While the premise could have been cliché or offensive by relying on stereotypes, the show’s lively cast and sharp comedic writing propel “Nobody” into a delightful realm. With its 10 episodes, you will want to binge-watch in one go.

Joanne (Bell) is an entertaining and easily agitated podcast host sharing tales about disastrous dates and terrible sex with her sister Morgan (Justine Lupe). Despite her unsuccessful long-term relationships, her podcast is on the verge of a major breakthrough. Noah (Brody), the charming “hot rabbi” from a Los Angeles temple, suddenly realizes his hesitation to propose to his long-term girlfriend stems not from a fear of commitment, but from a lack of love for her.

After we meet them at a dinner party, their connection is magnetic and intensely charged, making for one of the most compelling scenes on contemporary television (it’s less a meet-cute, more a “meet-hot”). They indulge in playful flirtation, but soon discover how different their lives are. Still, they cannot resist each other, complicating their interactions.

The essence of any romantic comedy lies in the mishaps hindering the couple’s ability to thrive together. Noah’s family disapproves of Joanne on principle, as there’s a long-standing tradition for rabbis to marry within their faith. Morgan anxiously worries her sister may be choosing the wrong partner. Both Noah and Joanne harbor their doubts, constantly navigating the challenges posed by their families and communities, in addition to their personal hesitations.

Despite the comedic entanglements that arise, the heart of the story lies in the romance. Many shows in this genre hesitate to prioritize the relationship at its core. However, every time Joanne and Noah share a kiss, snuggle, or have dinner together, it is sincerely heartwarming.

Although Noah and Joanne’s ages are not explicitly stated, both actors are 44. The series uniquely reflects the reality of dating for an older audience. It’s refreshing to witness a show that depicts love as accessible at any age, reminding viewers that life’s exciting moments continue well past 40, after having children, or settling into careers.

“Nobody” is just the beginning for Noah and Joanne. The palpable chemistry between Brody and Bell elevates the series beyond “just another rom-com” to a contender for the best show of the year. This is complemented by equally dynamic writing from series creator Erin Foster, who infused elements of her own love story (and conversion to Judaism) into the narrative.

The final 20 minutes of a Kate Hudson film in each episode—absurd, yet immensely enjoyable, and you can count on a memorable kiss.

One of the drawbacks of “Nobody” is its name, but if you manage to find the series despite warnings against watching it, you’ll find it to be quite rewarding.

Everyone craves this type of love.
