I missed Adam Brody on TV... effortless charming and instantly great chemistry/banter with Kristen Bell," while another added: "Everyone needs to go watch #NobodyWantsThis on Netflix. A romcom hasn't had me kicking my feet like this in a while. And the chemistry between Adam Brody and Kristen Bell? Absolutely riveting."

I hope we get a season 2," while another agreed, calling for more episodes: "Idk how it took this long for someone to put Adam Brody and Kristen Bell in a TV show together, but whoever finally decided to do it, THANK YOU! This show was everything I wanted and more! I need a second season, STAT!"
Speaking about his on-screen chemistry with Kristen, Adam praised creator Erin Foster's writing. "Erin wrote some great banter," he told Tudum. "She wrote these two characters. [Kristen and I] could have all the chemistry in the world, but if the characters are making very questionable actions or doing off-putting things, you’re still probably not going to want them to be together. So I think the tracks were laid very nicely for you to care about these characters and want them to be together."

When they walk out — together — the unlikely pair, Joanne (Kristen Bell) and Noah (Adam Brody), 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 (Justine Lupe) and his brother Sasha (Timothy Simons)."
Nobody Wants This is available on Netflix.
