‘Nobody Wants This’ Creator Erin Foster Defends Show After Claims It Depicts Jewish Stereotypes


The creator of Netflix's 'Nobody Wants This,' Erin Foster, has responded to criticism that her show depicts Jewish people as stereotypes.

The sitcom, which stars Adam Brody(who is Jewish) as a character named Noah and Kristen Bell as Joanne, tracks the budding romance of a modern rabbi and an agnostic podcaster. The series creator, Erin Foster, converted to Judaism after meeting her husband, Simon Tikhman (who is not a rabbi), who wanted to marry a Jewish woman. “While I love Noah’s commitment to Judaism, and just the fact that he’s one of the best TV boyfriends I’ve seen in some time, I can’t say the same about the other Jewish characters on the show — primarily the women,” she wrote.
