As a long-time fan of heartwarming romantic comedies, I must say that Nobody Wants This has certainly found a special place in my collection. The season finale was a rollercoaster of emotions, keeping me on the edge of my seat till the very end!
Warning: This post contains spoilers from the Nobody Wants This season finale.
Throughout the initial 10-episode season of “Nobody Wants This“, the characters Joanne, played by Kristen Bell, and Noah, portrayed by Adam Brody, keep viewers guessing with their will-they-or-won’t-they dynamic!
As a gaming enthusiast diving into the world of Netflix’s romantic comedy series, I found myself embodying Joanne – a spirited podcaster dishing out advice on sex and relationships, yet struggling to find my own healthy, long-lasting connection. That is until I crossed paths with Noah, a charismatic and handsome rabbi, who turned out to be a game-changer in my love life. However, the complication arises when religion becomes an unexpected obstacle in our potential romantic journey.
As the first season concludes, Joanne and Noah’s relationship faces criticism from almost everyone: Joanne’s relatives, Noah’s family (particularly his mother), Noah’s professional path, among other factors. It appears as though no one is rooting for them to succeed, leading us to wonder: Might Joanne change her ways?
Here’s your final spoiler warning!
Joanne and Noah end up together
Despite facing numerous challenges and setbacks throughout their journey, Joanne and Noah manage to stay together by the end of the first season. Rest assured, despite all the obstacles that resemble detours, speed bumps, or traffic signals on a long drive, these two persist in their relationship, even as the world seems determined to keep them apart.
Navigating issues within family members or friends over a relationship can be challenging, but dealing with an entire religion that creates a rift is a different story altogether. Joanne found herself feeling unsure from the beginning, as if she was treading in waters beyond her depth. Yet, she persevered despite her uncertainties about Noah’s former girlfriend Rebecca, confrontations with his mother, and silent treatment from his sister-in-law Esther.
Due to their contrasting backgrounds and mutual attraction, they had to persistently pursue their relationship because it was uncommon for them. The fact that Noah ended things with his Jewish girlfriend, who secretly used his engagement ring to propose to herself (an incident often overlooked), now dating a non-Jewish woman stirred up quite a commotion in his circle.
As a rabbi, Noah wouldn’t be in a position to live his life with someone who isn’t Jewish. The idea of Joanne converting to Judaism is something that could come up eventually, but the conversation becomes more intense when Noah is considered for the position of chief rabbi, a role that might ironically echo Rabbi Cohen (a surname hinting at Seth Cohen, a character from The O.C.).
…but they almost break up first
For Noah to assume Cohen’s role, he needs to be elected for it. However, since he is dating someone outside of his faith, this might pose a problem for him reaching his desired position. Joanne is determined to show her family she fits in and stands firm, but when she considers the significant implications for Noah if she isn’t fully committed to converting, she starts to hesitate.
Struggling under the weight of Noah’s fresh job offer and his decision to embrace Judaism, Joanne contemplates ending their relationship. Before delivering the difficult news, they express their love for each other. However, Joanne isn’t prepared to change her religious beliefs, not just faith but a way of life. Moreover, she wishes to honor Judaism by converting with genuine intent, rather than for Noah’s sake.
Always maintaining his gentlemanly demeanor, Noah proposes they might take things slower and think it over, but Joanne insists he doesn’t do anything selfless for her. She advises him not to follow her, yet one wonders if she truly meant that. As the bus halts, she scans for him among its passengers… He wasn’t there. Yet, when she approaches her car, Noah is already waiting, having sprinted all the way to reach her.
In many romantic comedies from the past, there’s a thrilling scene at the airport where the man chases after the woman to prevent her from boarding a plane, showing his determination not to let go of their relationship. Noah doesn’t want to relinquish their connection, but when she inquires about their future, he simply replies, “You were correct; I can’t have it all.” The episode concludes with them sharing a kiss, having made the decision to stay together amidst the chaos.
Instead of balancing his new role as head rabbi with a relationship with Joanne, did Noah decide to prioritize their bond, or is he attempting to maintain both aspects? Will he be prepared for the potential repercussions of being with someone who isn’t immediately converting? Is there a chance that Joanne might change her mind about conversion? The season 1 finale leaves several questions unanswered, but we can confirm that Noah and Joanne end up as a couple!
