Nobody Wants This Series-Premiere Recap: Pretty Smooth for a Rabbi


A perfectly paired Kristen Bell and Adam Brody lead Netflix’s breezy romantic comedy about an endearing mismatched couple.

Kristen Bell plays Joanne, the host of a successful sex and dating podcast alongside her sister Morgan (a perfect Justine Lupe) on the verge of being acquired by a huge platform. Joanne is open and opinionated, really has no time or respect for the duds she has been meeting on the L.A. dating scene, and is perfectly described by her friend and producer Ashley (Sherry Cola), who at one point says of her to another character: “Her bad personality is weirdly charming, right?” She also makes a dire health announcement at dinner, informing her ex and her daughters that her sound therapist Birch did discover that she’s missing the note C when she speaks and that’s linked to sadness, in case you wanted to get a fuller picture of what Lynn is all about.
