To be fair, \u201cNobody Wants This\u201d doesn\u2019t stray too far from its original premise this time around. After somewhat accepting their religious differences, Joanne (Bell) and \u201chot rabbi\u201d Noah (Brody) continue navigating their relationship in Season 2, albeit with even more challenges that test whether the unlikely couple can survive their wildly different lifestyles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The most charming part about the show\u2019s debut season was Joanne and Noah\u2019s courting\/falling-in-love phase, which was much more entertaining to watch than seeing their rocky relationship on the verge of falling apart. Season 2 makes it clear that the honeymoon phase is officially over, as Noah\u2019s dilemma about Joanne converting to Judaism only grows more urgent to the point that, yes, it almost tears them apart again<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
What I loved most about \u201cNobody Wants This\u201d was that it was a lighthearted watch about a swoonworthy romance, but most of that magic is lost in Season 2. The writers of the show seemed to listen to viewers\u2019 complaints about how characters like Esther (Jackie Tohn) were portrayed as mean and nagging, finally giving her a bit more depth as she navigates marital troubles with Sasha (Timothy Simons). However, they forgot to maintain the magic that made us fall for the show in the first place.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
