Despite the pair’s obvious chemistry, Noah’s faith and Joanne’s aversion to religion prove to be a challenge for the couple – as does Noah’s ex-girlfriend Rebecca (Emily Arlook), who his family just adores.
Netflix fans are going wild over the series, as they are especially enjoying the strong connection between Noah and Joanne which Adam and Kristen are able to convey.
After bingeing the new series, which premiered on Thursday (September 26), Netflix fans have taken to X, formerly Twitter, to express how much they loved the romantic comedy-drama.
Praising the show, one viewer wrote: “Natural chemistry between the leads, witty, quick dialogue, multiple levels to an amazing supporting cast, absolutely zero slapstick over the top action scenes, real rom-com energy is back.”
Picking up on the palpable chemistry between Noah and Joanne during their first kiss at the end of episode 2, another viewer said: “This is actually such an insane kiss. I will be thinking about it for the foreseeable future.”
“We must immediately induct Rabbi Noah Roklov into the rom-com boyfriend hall of fame for this scene alone,” agreed a third fan.
While a fourth gushed: “Adam Brody is such an amazing actor. After watching all 10 episodes in one season, I realised how much I’ve missed seeing him on screen.”
Some fans are so obsessed with the series they’re watching it again already, with one viewer admitting they’re already “rewatching for the third time.”
Netflix fans are so smitten with the series they’re begging Netflix for a second series, but they want one major change for series 2.
Tweeting the streamer with their demands, one fan wrote: “Listen Netflix I want a SECOND SEASON but I also want 20 EPISODES AN HOUR LONG EACH.”
There are ten episodes in series 1 which are each around 30 minutes long, but fans want more than double that amount of screen time in the next series.
Other fans immediately jumped on board with this request, using the #everybodywantsthis, a play on the show’s name.
Echoing calls for a second series, another fan wrote: “I loved this mini-series … it was awesome … hilarious … especially the scene in the sex store … I haven’t laughed that hard for a while … there must be a Season 2!!!”

Nobody Wants This brought back lots of noughties nostalgia as it follows two former teen drama icons as they fall in love.
Kristen Bell is best known from her roles in Veronica Mars and Gossip Girl, while her on-screen love interest, Adam Brody, rose to fame playing Seth Cohen on The O.C.
Teasing the nature of the romantic drama, the official synopsis reads: “An agnostic podcast host and an unconventional rabbi on the rebound walk into a party. When they walk out — together — the unlikely pair, Joanne and Noah, can tell there is something between them.

“But also potentially between them, with their differing outlooks on life, all of the modern obstacles to love, and their sometimes well-meaning, sometimes sabotaging families — including her sister Morgan and his brother Sasha.”
Succession’s Justine Lupe plays Joanne’s sister Morgan while Timothy Simons, who portrayed Jonah Ryan on Veep, stars as Noah’s older brother Sasha.
Sherry Cola, Stephanie Faracy, Tovah Feldshuh, Paul Ben-Victor, Jackie Tohn, Emily Arlook, Shiloh Bearman and Stephen Tobolowsky round out the supporting cast.
