‘Nobody Wants This’ Creator Erin Foster Hits Back After Criticism Of Netflix Show’s “Stereotypical” Depiction Of Jewish People


Erin Foster, creator of 'Nobody Wants This,' has responded to critics who say the Netflix series is stereotypical in its portrayal of Jewish people.

Created by Erin Foster, and loosely based on her life, Nobody Wants This chronicles the unlikely romance between Noah (Brody), a weed-smoking rabbi, and Joanne (Bell), a sexually liberated atheist podcaster. Jessica Radloff, writer of The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series, took issue with its depiction of Jewish women. “We come off as controlling, marriage-hungry women who want to plan dinner parties and alienate anyone who doesn’t share those same dreams,” she wrote in Glamour, where she serves as senior West Coast editor.
