Did 'Nobody Wants This' Just Save The "Rom-Com?"

Following its release, the new series gains overwhelmingly positive reviews.

Following its premiere on Netflix, Nobody Wants This has seemingly revived the romantic comedy category.

“Kristen Bell and Adam Brody singlehandedly saved the rom-com industry with 10 episodes of insane chemistry and I owe them my life for it actually,” one Twitter user shared.

Just this summer, YouTuber Mina Le questioned: “why aren’t romcoms “romantic” anymore?” and it appears Bell and Brody have shut that discussion down.

Typically, toxic, heart-wrenching storylines are the most notable due to the emotional rollercoaster — cue the Joker and Harley Quinn’s “romance.” But for Netflix’s new series, its appeal comes down to two elements viewers have secretly been yearning for: witty banter and healthy communication.

The series is centered around an unfiltered sex podcaster and Rabbi and follows the two singles as they try to defeat the odds — their opposite core values and families — and choose each other.

Since its September 26 premiere, “Nobody Wants This Season 2?” Has been a trending Google search. Of course, Netflix hasn’t responded aside from fueling the hype with gut-wrenching behind-the-scenes.
