Kristen Bell And Adam Brody In “Nobody Wants This” Is Pure Millennial Magic In The Best Way Possible

Kristen Bell and Adam Brody star in this Netflix rom-com series that actually finds the perfect balance between romance and comedy.

Noah, a junior rabbi, and Bell, a podcasting shiksa (a Yiddish insult that essentially means “hot, blonde, non-Jew”), meet at a dinner party. Also, as someone who grew up watching both “The OC” and “Veronica Mars,” the teen dramas that catapulted the careers of both Brody and Bell, respectively, I can admit that I am unquestionably the target audience for this show. From watching Joanne cross herself in a synagogue to seeing Noah set down their cups of ice cream on the sidewalk so they can kiss, the show strings together moments that are pleasant at their core even when the surrounding scenes, characters or dialogue aren’t working.
