Entry directly into the Netflix catalog, Nobody wants that turns out to be a pleasant surprise. A romantic but non-canonical storycapable of making us laugh and passionate thanks to two protagonists much more complicated than the typical characters in love with love.
Thanks to these ingredients, Nobody wants that he had a notable success since its release, and it’s a series not to be missed if you like comedies in which complicity doesn’t bring in a huge pot of honey.
“No one wants that”, an irreverent and unexpected story
When we talk about romantic comedies, whether told through films or television series, it’s easy to come across rather obvious plots where you feel like you’re living a deja vu experience. Characters often static, in love with love more than the person with whom they maintain relationships but also crises, misunderstandings sometimes a little banal which make the viewing pleasant but rather standardized.
The truth is that talking about love is not that simple as one might think: the candy bar must be watched, and the love stories they must be authentic moving away from what fairy tales have always told us and getting closer to what we experience every day.
Stories that do not always reflect the archetypes of good and evil and are not about damsels in trouble or bad boys being led on the right path are increasingly appreciated and Nobody wants thatthe Netflix TV series released in the September catalog, is something that it’s worth the detour precisely for this reason.
The series recounts the meeting between Noaha young rabbi, and Janean irreverent podcaster involved in a project with her sister in which she talks about her complicated love life made up of apps, unforgettable first dates and a vision of love far from what we consider to be a fairy tale of fairies.
Things are changing right now the two meet at a party organized by a mutual friend: the two start talking and they realize that they like each other. Nothing strange, at least so far: Joenne is an atheist, and Noah is coming out of a very long romantic relationship with Rebecca, a woman very popular with his family and, obviously, Jewish.
The relationship between Joanne and Noah so it seems impossible: on the one hand a family who wishes to see the rabbi again with his historic girlfriend, on the other the awareness of our protagonist that a relationship with a non-Jewish girl could prevent him from realizing his dream have your own congregation.
“No one wants that”, adult alchemy between the protagonists
A linear plot, with some perhaps stereotypical characters, but with a very specific reason. The strength of Nobody wants that lies in the ability to talk about adult love between two people with different visions and spiritualities in a playful and intelligent way, with the aim of bringing out characters who embody personalities already seen only in terms of highlight the facts with the right irony.
An example of this is the secondary characters who, in one way or another, try to change the minds of the two protagonists played by Adam Brody and Kristen Bell.
Two actors who seem truly perfect in their roles, especially as the chemistry between them is palpable and It doesn’t seem artificial at all. Whether it’s because they’ve both been two iconic faces of Millennials’ most beloved series, or because they’ve known each other for a long time, Adam and Kristen knew create perfect harmony without leaving their characters or resorting to the usual rhetoric.
In fact, both had worked for Scream 42011 horror film in which however they hadn’t shared any scenesas Brody recounted in an interview. “We were both in Scream 4even though we didn’t share any scenes. And my agent is a good friend of his. We took her in the back of her two-seater from the movie premiere to a party.
Adam and Kristen are two pillars of the seriality of the 2000s. He is the sweet nerd in love with Summer Roberts in. The COshe is the one who is very intelligent and irreverent Véronique Mars determined to discover the murderer of her best high school friend in the series that bears the protagonist’s name: two characters who, in addition to making them icons, have small points in common with their Nah and Joanne.
She maintains the same irreverence and irony as Veronica, and he demonstrates the same love for Jewish traditions, just as Seth did with his unforgettable Chrismukkah. A parallel which makes the fans even more enthusiastic who, after having lived their story for 10 very fluid episodes, they are already asking for a second season.
