In every conceivable way, Season 2 put this series on track to be one of the best rom-coms in television history. It’s exactly what the world needs right now.

The show is good at skewering LA and its personality types. It also hits the romcom beats by running through the stages in a relationship: introducing two sets of friends and family to each other, the honeymoon phase giving way to little irritations.

What follows is a well-paced, engaging season of television marred by a finale that feints toward originality but swerves. Still, there’s plenty to like.

Less memorable than its first outing, the second season of Nobody Wants This still delivers an emotionally intelligent exploration of the complexities of inter-cultural romance – and Kristen Bell and Adam Brody remain eminently charming together.

It’s still bingeable in a way that feels purpose-built to scratch a mid-thirties brain. It’s just equally clear that the show, having arrived at its final act showdown, is wandering in the wilderness. Sometimes, you just need to have a bit more faith in your premise.

Season 2 picks up with the couple still at an impasse over whether Joanne will convert … and pretty much camps out there all season. The last episode, incredibly, retreads many of the elements of the first season’s finale. .... It turns out the only thing more irritating than an extended love triangle might just be an extended will-they-or-won’t-they between a girl and a religion.

It completely lacks the effervescent romance, that magical chemistry between Brody and Bell, that made the first season so irresistible. In Season 2, they settle into a relationship that infuriatingly has not resolved any of the issues from Season 1, and as a result their sizzle evaporates. The drama between them is no longer real and relatable, but contrived and silly.

The first season was mildly entertaining. The Noah character is likeable and mostly believable. He overcame how unlikable Joanne and most of the supporting characters are. Season 2 just couldn't overcome that issue. While Noah may be a little too good to be true, Joanne just doubles down on being incredibly needy and unlikable. Even her sister Morgan becomes fairly likeable (in Season one she wasn't). Noah's mom is always presented as highly manipulative - only serving her own needs (as her son Sasha says - my mom doesn't say what she needs she only says what she wants (or something along those lines)). I suppose the show is a testament to the Jewish faith in that your family can be highly toxic but you still put up with them? Noah's wife Esther was a real 'next Tuesday' gal in Season One whereas in Season Two she is softened... but her character becomes much less interesting. Back to Joanne... as other characters are softened a bit Joanne becomes so highly needy - always searching to make a mountain out of any molehill Noah may offer. Throughout the show we are begging for Noah to dump Joanne and come to his senses... Not a great way to watch a show.
