Jackie Tohn is wearing a really beautiful dress, but her hair is just sloppy, there's no jewelry to add sparkle and interest, and a structured, kind of stiff bodice requires a posture. Pick those shoulders UP, girl! The dress is all old Hollywood glam but everything else is new Hollywood slob.

The Problems with: Nobody Wants This

Note: I binged season 1, randomly, about a month ago, and I thought, it's very overhyped, but it was at least enjoyable for roughly halfway of the time. The Show was already problematic, and I wasn't sure I was gonna watch season 2, but thought, lemme give it a chance to see if they fixed the issues. I hate to be a person that does this, but I (somehow) watched almost 5 episodes of season 2 & I've come across context from fan reviews for the end, so I need to rant my negative feelings out on this series.

- The writers rely on superficial, cliché archetypes of their characters- Morgan and Joanne are immature, sassy sisters who can get away with being rude because they portray them as cool and funny blonde girls with a bad relationship track record filled with variety of adventures. Sasha is a married man who has become a doormat from both of their lack of experiences, and fails at keeping boundaries outside of his marriage that's played as an expense of him being naive and a nice guy who's a little clueless about how to be direct. And I wanna clear up a misconception: Noah has never been perfect. He's very one-dimensional in the 1st season, but his inability to confront people on what he feels has always been noticeable to me to present a problem. Esther is the only one who gets an extensive character depth this season; she's missed out on the earlier days of her youth, jumped too soon into a marriage, and doesn't want another baby (which is entirely understandable). I'd like to mention Bina as well, who I think remains the stereotypical "mean-Jewish mother" who tries to break her son up with his unapproved girlfriend.

- The 2 main characters (Joanne & Noah) are not compatible (and never have been)- From the pilot episode, their chemistry is meant to be the driving force to fight for a relationship and to hook us into the story. Noah is attracted to Joanne, because she is the opposite to him (she's spontaneous and 100% not a people-pleaser); the reasoning for his attraction is obvious from the moment they connect, and I get it. But these contrasting personalities are inevitable to clash or reach a point of cliché storytelling, where the driving force keeping them together isn't really believable anymore. KB and AB have good chemistry (but tbh I don't see it as an out-of-the-ordinary, onscreen connection that others hype it up to be); Adam and Kristen are extremely charasmatic and I think that's a large part of what makes them work in canon, when their characters are complete antitheses of one another.

- Everybody raves about the "healthy communication" but the entire 2 seasons is just Noah being positioned as an emotionally-mature "dreamboy", while he fixes Joanne's relationship traumas and guides her in the direction of what "good" is in a romantically stable dynamic. This is just Eleanor Shellstrop and Adult Dave Rygalski in the same universe.

- We don't learn anything about why Noah's faith is so strong (at least as far as I've made it)- He's a people-pleaser and bad at confronting people about how he feels--whether it's his mom, his community when he brings an agnostic Joanne on his trip, or even his ex-girlfriend back when they were together; he even alludes to becoming a rabbi, because of it being what his parents expected.

- The progression of Morgan and Sasha's obvious road to romance is terrible- They're getting together; it's obvious! Morgan and Sasha have been set up from the pilot episode. There's a distinct aversion from both supporters and platonic truthers to cheating (obviously). But the thing is that regardless of the lack of adultery, Sasha has been inappropriate with Morgan this whole time....

...Their friendship is not healthy or a good representation of platonic relationships between a man and a woman:

Sasha calls Morgan "hot" on more than 1 occasion (see Season 1)

Sasha is a married man, who hides his conversations with his brother's gf's sister (that's not appropriate)

Esther is insecure and jealous of their "fun" dynamic (it's a 'comedy'; if they touched on this in a different way, it could've worked, but she's clearly uncomfortable & at times "odd-man-out"...it's not fair to her)

If and when they get together, these undeniable factors are not going to suddenly disappear: Sasha IS attracted to Morgan. They made Esther step back from the relationship, so that he doesn't look like an irredeemable jerk when he falls in love with Morgan, kickstarting their serious relationship and eventual pregnancy where he can have the second baby he wishes for. I wish in this storyline, they would've actually gone about building them up as real friends without the weird sexual overtones drilled in your head. Their siblings are dating, and it wouldn't have been weird to have them connect on a completely platonic level that actually grows over time AFTER Sasha and Esther get divorced or separated.

- Also, this could've been a 1-season show- Noah wants Joanne to convert; Joanne doesn't want to. So, why did they faux-resolve this at the end of season 1 (which was such a poor ending)? (oftentimes I wish tv shows would let their characters experience proper breakups before throwing them back together). Opening with this "tabled" conversation wrote them into a corner of this repetition unalignment and boring rehashing in their relationship *when he false-agrees to accepting her as is and then innocently tries to guilt-trip her at every turn. Joanne's obviously gonna convert; that's been clear since season 1, thus there's no surprise or intrigue for this journey. I feel like the main romance is one of those concepts that doesn't allow much conflict, and tbh after about 5 episodes of season 1, the story had already lost me.

- Nothing fucking happens- I watched 3 episodes, waiting for stuff to pick up, and when I came back to it, spontaneously willing to truck on, I made it 4.5 episodes in, before I realized: the conversion conflict still hasn't been addressed again, a large part of why this season feels the same as the 1st.

- Is it just me or does it feel like there's stereotypical-coverage of Jewish traditions and conversation on it (that Joanne doesn't know months into a serious relationship with a practicing man)? It's not great for a show that prides itself on centering Jewish culture.
