The three main reasons why &quot;Nobody Wants This,&quot; the new Netflix series - released on September 26 - starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody, has become a hit? Nostalgia, an original storytelling and a non-toxic relationship.

Maintaining a link with the past without proposing already seen plots - in an era in which reboots and remakes are the order of the day -, &quot;Nobody Wants This&quot; manages to create something new, while recalling the charm of pop culture from the beginning of the millennium. The new Netflix TV series intelligently exploits the nostalgia effect, bringing to the screen two teen idols of the 2000s: Adam Brody , Seth Cohen of &quot;The OC&quot; , and Kristen Bell , known for having played the protagonist of the teen drama &quot;Veronica Mars&quot; on the small screen. Seeing them together again is a sort of involuntary crossover between two television worlds that defined the golden age of teen series.

A romantic comedy different from the usual ones

Netflix’s new series may seem like a typical, corny romantic comedy. However, by trying to avoid the clichés that often characterize the genre, it comes across as fresh and original. The plot focuses on two real people, with everyday problems and insecurities, who try to build an authentic relationship. Joanne , played by Kristen Bell , is an agnostic and unfiltered podcaster, while Noah, played by Adam Brody , is a rabbi with a modern view of life and relationships. Their dynamic as a couple is funny and profound at the same time, exploring complex themes such as religion, social expectations and the desire to find a balance between career and love.

Can we have healthy relationships?

Yes, or at least you can try. There is no toxic or complicated love story: the protagonists communicate openly, deal with their problems and try to build something authentic. In an age where relationships seem increasingly fragmented and based on misunderstandings, &quot;Nobody Wants This&quot; offers a breath of fresh air. One of the rewarding features of &quot;Nobody Wants This&quot; is the depiction of a healthy and conscious relationship, an element rarely explored in modern romantic comedies.

Season 2 is coming soon

The news was greeted with enthusiasm by fans, eager to see how the stories of Joanne and Noah will evolve. Even if the creator Erin Foster will step down, leaving the management of the show to Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan, &quot;the ironic tone and emotional depth that characterized the first season will be maintained&quot;. The second season promises to face new challenges for the protagonists, maintaining intact the freshness that won over the audience.</div></div></div></div>
