When Joanne and Noah meet during a dinner with friends, sparks fly immediately. However, they soon realize that attraction and compatibility might not be enough to bridge the enormous gap between them. Indeed, while she is an agnostic podcaster who is disillusioned by a family with an open-minded mindset, he is a devout—though progressive—rabbi determined to become the chief rabbi. Although they seem like opposites and their differences sometimes discourage them, Joanne and Noah must acknowledge that they can no longer live without each other, to the point that they say they are ready not only to start a serious and stable relationship, but to overturn their lives for the sake of their partner. Nobody Wants This is a bright Netflix comedy with sharp dialogue and, even more so, with an impeccable performance from Kristen Bell and Adam Brody in the lead roles; if you’ve already watched the third season, recently released on the aforementioned streaming platform, and fallen in love with it, here is a small list of titles that might suit you!
Nobody Wants This: Here are the TV series similar to it that we recommend
- Love
- Fleabag
- The Lovers
Love
Mickey is a woman with masochistic tendencies who lives without rules, while Gus tends to be meek. The two, though opposites, as they deepen their acquaintance, realize they feel a strong attraction for one another. Love is a 2016 TV series that tells a modern, unfiltered love story, where the protagonists, like in Nobody Wants This, represent two parallel universes that, although not destined even to touch, ultimately merge. It ran for three seasons and 34 episodes and is available on Netflix.
Fleabag
Fleabag is a young Londoner who, through personal trauma and dysfunctional relationships, has become increasingly cynical and uninhibited. When she encounters a particularly charming priest, Fleabag feels an irresistible attraction to him. Although their chemistry is palpable, the priest must hold back due to his vow of chastity. Fleabag is a 2016 TV series created by and starring Phoebe Waller-Bridge that, like Nobody Wants This, follows a secular and disillusioned protagonist who falls for a man of faith. It features 2 seasons and 12 episodes, which you should catch up on as soon as possible on Prime Video.
The Lovers
Janet is a supermarket clerk who is decidedly exhausted by her daily routine, while Seamus is an egocentric political journalist dating a celebrity. The two really have nothing in common, starting with their opposite social classes, yet they will be irresistibly drawn to each other. The Lovers is a 2023 miniseries that, like Nobody Wants This, centers on a “quirky couple” that, on paper, shouldn’t work, yet in practice they do. It consists of 1 season and 6 episodes, available on Now.
