Where Do We Go From Here?

Nobody Wants This Season 1 Recap


Listen Later

In this fun and thoughtful Where Do We Go From Here? conversation, Jessica and Devi revisit one of their favourite RomCom Recap episodes from Patreon — a deep dive into the Netflix hit Nobody Wants This, starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody.

They explore why this show hit such a cultural nerve, how it portrays the complexity of love between two people from different faiths, and what it teaches us about emotional honesty, boundaries, and belonging.

From the "hot rabbi" to the spiral-inducing unanswered text, Jessica and Devi unpack how Nobody Wants This manages to make relationships feel real — messy, beautiful, and worth fighting for.

If you've ever wondered what healthy love looks like after religious conditioning or purity culture, this one's for you.

In this episode:

  • Why Nobody Wants This resonates so deeply with modern audiences

  • How pop culture is reimagining "good men" through characters like Noah

  • The parallels between religious devotion and emotional integrity

  • Why our culture is hungry for models of honest, emotionally mature relationships

  • The power of female introspection in romcom storytelling

Mentioned in this episode:

  • Nobody Wants This (Netflix)

  • Fleabag (Amazon Prime)

  • The Faith Adjacent Podcast
