New Netflix series praised for 'resuscitating the rom-com' as critics call it the next When Harry Met Sally

Netflix 's new rom-com Nobody Wants This is being praised by critics for delivering the best and kookiest story in that genre since 1989's When Harry Met Sally.

So begins the quirky storyline and fiery chemistry between the lead actors – who are friends in real life – that Slate hailed as 'the next great rom-com we’ve been waiting for.' 'Their chemistry sizzles on-screen – when Joanne and Noah have their meet-cute at the dinner party, which is hosted by their mutual friend Ashley (Sherry Cola), they immediately ease into a tennis match of sarcasm,' the outlet reported. It is the two actors' easy and fast-paced banter, not to mention the Jew and shiksa combination that draws comparison to When Harry Met Sally, which starred Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan in similar roles.
