Summary
Nobody Wants This is overtly ideological and lacks originality, but it has a warm underlying message on love.
Countless stories have been written about how love surpasses all boundaries. Some, however, may argue that interfaith relationships are like playing with fire. The magnitude of their challenges seems painful and even explosive in their family relationships.
And Nobody Wants This is just that—a second-rate story about Noah, a God-fearing Jewish Rabbinic (Adam Brody) who falls in love with the loud-mouthed, feminist, atheist Joanne (Kristen Bell). In it, they explore the themes of complex and intense emotions, cultural and religious differences, societal expectations, and transcendental love.
Spoiler Alert (though not actually): Nobody Wants This adds no special twist or substance to this exhausted niche of TV but is doused in pushing ideological views.
Nonetheless, that’s not to say that this isn’t an easy watch if you’re looking to disassociate from the world for a little while and be completely brainwashed by the rulers of entertainment — it will be a fun little piece of entertainment to rot your brain off to.
But I don’t recommend that. Nobody Wants This, I believe, has an interesting underlying message on love that is vitally important to acknowledge. Love is not man-made. It is not something we can perceive or feel. But it embraces us and transforms us deeply. And when we find that lovely, there’s nothing we wouldn’t do for that person—something unbeknown to this selfish society we currently live in.
And on a hilarious note, a very manipulative card that the creator has played in this series is adding fuel to the bonfire that is known as feminism.
There will be a plethora of viewers (yes, I’m looking at the feminists) who will applaud this entire series based on one line of the script. When the main character, Joanne, attempts to insult and disrespect Andrew Tate.
What more could you ask for from a TV show than to endorse such hate? And I applaud the creator for utilizing the hate of the Tate Brothers to gain prosperity for her show.
But was it a low blow? Absofreakinglutely.
Nobody Wants This, whether you see it or not, is there to push an agenda but is masked in light-hearted lovey-dovey romance clips. We call this subliminal messaging.
