“Nobody Wants This,” Netflix’s latest romantic comedy series, has received criticism since its September 26 premiere. The reason for this criticism is that some viewers see “stereotypical” Jewish characters. For context, the show follows the developing affection between a rabbi and a sex podcaster.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, series creator Erin Foster responded to the controversy. She stated that the show aims to shine a positive light on Jewish culture. Foster turned to Judaism after falling in love with her spouse.

Several days after “Nobody Wants This” premiered on Netflix, author and Glamour senior West Coast editor Jessica Radloff published an essay titled “Netflix’s ‘Nobody Wants This’ and the Persistent Jewish Stereotype.”

She expressed that the show’s Jewish personalities come across as authoritative, marriage-hungry women who want to plan dinner parties and disengage anyone who does not share their dreams.

Radloff was not alone in her criticisms. Time magazine also criticized the series for its disparaging portrayal of Jewish women. They further claimed that the series seemed to despise Jewish women, depicting them as nags, harpies, and the final villains of the plot.

“Nobody Wants This” is a romantic comedy TV series developed by Erin Foster. It stars Kristen Bell and Adam Brody and aired on Netflix on September 26, 2024. The show depicts the unforeseen romance between an outspoken, agnostic woman and an atypical Jewish rabbi.

Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregate website, recorded a 95% approval rating with an average rating of 7.6/10 from 42 critic reviews. Also, Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, gave it a score of 73 out of 100 based on 23 critics, signifying “generally favorable” responses.

Who Plays Noah In Nobody Wants This?

Noah Roklov in “Nobody Wants This” is played by Adam Brody. Noah Roklov is a particular, modern-day rabbi looking to fulfill his dream of becoming a head rabbi and finding the woman of his dreams. 

The epic love story of “Nobody Wants This” begins when he meets Shikha Joanne just after breaking up with his long-term, flawless Jewish partner Rebecca. Adam Brody is also well-known among millennial women for his role as teen heartthrob Seth Cohen on “The O.C.”

He is also married to “Gossip Girls” Leighton Meester. Meester and Brody are parents of two children. 

They welcomed their first child, daughter Arlo Day Brody, in August 2015. Five years later, the couple increased their household with the birth of their son, whose name has yet to be announced, in October 2020.

Who Plays Joanne On Nobody Wants This?

Kristen Bell plays Joanne in “Nobody Wants This.” Joanne is the host of a successful sex and dating podcast that Spotify is considering for acquisition. She’s opinionated, agnostic, and a little cynical.

However, she is not as awful a person as she thinks. Her dating life primarily serves as material for her pod until she encounters somebody unexpected.

Kristen Bell launched her Hollywood career with the breakout title role in the successful young adult television series “Veronica Mars.” She went on to play several other memorable roles, including the voice of “Gossip Girl,” the titular ex in “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” and Anna in “Frozen.”

Where Was Nobody Wants This Filmed?

The show “Nobody Wants This” was fully shot in Los Angeles, California. The first season’s principal photography began in early March 2024 and concluded in late spring of the same year. 

At first, Erin Foster considered leading the performance herself, as she composed it based on her own experiences. However, she had family responsibilities and was replaced by Kristen Bell.

While the show uses a studio lot, on-location shooting is done to recreate Los Angeles’ east side. The production crew takes advantage of the city’s lively districts, complementing the protagonists’ evolving lifestyles. 

From connecting suburban locations to glittering nightscapes, Los Angeles becomes a character in the program. Further mirroring the changing dynamics in the protagonists’ lives as they leave their comfort zones.
