This is EVERYTHING I thought when watching the show and then some. I said to my husband it is sooo nice to watch something that is just simply “nice”. Just a nice cast, nice storylines, nice outfits, nice conversations. It made me feel all warm inside and that is so rare for me when everything on Netflix / telly these days is so DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA. I hope Netflix commission more like this because I will be sat there watching all of it.

In another vein, did you ever watch sweet magnolias? It’s VERY saccharine but another show that just makes me feel warm inside with nice characters. Total soul food.

Right?! It was so mellow! It’s so nice to watch something where your heart isn’t in your stomach waiting for something to go wrong.

And no, I haven’t seen Sweet Magnolias but I deffo will now!! I watched Nobody Wants This so fast I need something to fill the void! Thank you for reading Katie <3

It really makes you think about how much we’ve been trained to expect dysfunction in romance, right?

Yes!! Such an unhealthy way to think, and also untrue! Not every relationship ends badly. Thank you for reading Liv!! 💕

I loved your analysis of this show! Rom coms aren't exactly my forte (I'm more of a horror/crime girlie), but I think you may have convinced me to give this show a whirl!

loved this show! loved Adam Brody since he played endearing Dave on Gilmore girls (I will die on the hill that he was the best young male character) - and I felt like Noah was a sweet reprise of this!

Just finished watching nobody wants this and made sure to come back here to read this afterwards. I couldn't agree more about the fact that this series feels like a surprise and turn of events from the usual narrative we see in romcoms. It's refreshing. Perhaps more series like this one, need to be made presenting this kind of relationship to even out the amount of series/films that show toxic relationships which make us believe that they're okay
