Netflix announced “Nobody Wants This” season 3 just a few weeks after season 2 dropped, but the show has a major problem it needs to fix. The series debuted strong with Joanne (Kristen Bell) and Noah (Adam Brody), two people with wildly different personalities and lifestyles who nonetheless spark instantly. Joanne is a spunky podcaster who talks openly about sex, dating and relationships, while Noah is a reserved rabbi. Their biggest clash in season 1 was Noah wanting Joanne to convert to Judaism — partly for ideological alignment, partly to advance his career.
That tension culminated in the dramatic season 1 finale, where Noah told Joanne he “can’t have both” and then kissed her, seemingly suggesting she didn’t need to convert. Season 2 revealed that’s not at all what he meant. Noah remained unsure about committing without the promise of conversion, landing the couple right back where they started.
