‘Nobody Wants This’ Season 3 Review: Kristen Bell and Adam Brody’s Netflix Romance Levels Up but Can’t Ditch Old Habits

The Hollywood Reporter ·

Season three begins with Joanne and Noah living together and Joanne starting Jewish conversion classes, shifting the romance from whether they can be together to how they will build a life together. The review welcomes the couple’s calmer, more secure relationship, while arguing the series still repeats some of Joanne’s familiar frustrating behaviour.

Adam Brody is praised for his appealing performance, and Kristen Bell gets to show a more self-aware side of Joanne. But the easier path to a happy ending comes at a cost: the season gives less attention to Judaism and Jewish culture, with conversion classes mostly serving as a backdrop and Christmas receiving more prominent treatment than any Jewish holiday.

In short

  • Joanne and Noah move in together as she begins conversion classes.
  • The romance feels warmer and less conflicted.
  • The season gives Jewish life less room.
