Now streaming on Netflix, “Nobody Wants This” season two leans further into the next chapter of a beautifully chaotic, emotionally unpredictable and humorous love story. What truly stands out in season two is how the show balances the comedy of enduring daily mistakes with the deep emotional weight that comes with merging two worlds – spiritually, culturally and personally. 

The relationship between the very likable Jewish Rabbi Noah Roklov, and blonde agnostic sex and relationship podcaster, Joanne Williams, is back in action. But this time, it is as deep as ever. With their efforts to love one another, they begin to collide their lives. 

Williams, played by the talented Kristen Bell, is faced with more of everything this season. 

As new layers emerge in Williams’ life, it seems as if relations with Roklov’s family are beginning to stabilize. The will to finally feel loved and wanted by another individual comes with its ups and downs. As some doors begin to open, others seem to close. 

Now that Williams is finally accepted by Roklov’s mother and invited to the weekly family Shabbat dinner, there’s even more at stake. Williams entangles herself in some drama this season, which of course includes her other half, her sister Morgan. 

The archetypal rom-com love triangle between Williams’ sister Morgan, Roklov’s brother Sasha and his wife Esther make a feature again, diving into self-discovery, growth and the value of loyalty. Although this time around, Morgan, with her gorgeous sassiness, surprisingly flips her romantic switch, with new surprises. 

The sisters’ chemistry and complimentary dual charismas remains one of the strongest comedic engines. Roklov, played by Adam Brody, faces some deep conflicts this season regarding his position as head rabbi at Temple Chai. 

The conversations became more elevated as he expressed his devoutness to Williams, exhibiting the hardships that come with intercultural relationships. The viewers see a different side of Roklov this season as he is torn between his duty, his identity and the unpredictable force of love. With Williams’ swaying decision on whether or not to convert to Judaism, she learns a lot about herself through her relationship. 

The two are very different people who are in love. Yet, their bond quickly continues to grow this season as it’s full of quirky and relatable moments. Navigating love is never easy, especially when it comes to vulnerability, uncertainty and sometimes even embarrassing self-disclosure. 

This season is a continuation that allows for the development of the core themes of the show: faith, identity and the actual cost of conserving a true connection. 

Each character is going through something within their romantic lives. 

The show openly embraces the imperfections of its characters, emphasizing the fact that real and genuine relationships aren’t just built upon perfection, but rather greater intentions such as persistence, compassion and the will to communicate openly. 

Confronting uncomfortable truths can be a draining process. Season two showcases what it truly means to try to make love work. It is heartfelt, painfully relatable and, above all, stays funny even in the moments when it shouldn’t be. Just like in relationships, if love is chaos, then this show is a masterpiece — now bring on season three.
