There's along history of shows with this Jewish man/Gentile woman theme, including Bridget loves Bernie, A Stranger Among Us, and Keeping the Faith. Some better, or at least less cringeworthy than others. I expect there will be more, as the entertainment industry prefers reusing formulas that generate profit.

I think that without the current war for Israel's survival, and the accompanying vicious antisemitism, most of us would have dismissed Nobody Wants This as a series living up to its name.

I gave up on TV along time ago. Real life is much more interesting.

It's a necessary distraction from real life sometimes.

The show was meant to “ entertain “ not to learn; and it achieved its goal for Netflix. If anyone took this show literally, so be it.

Am Israel Chai! The show “entertained” me. If we can’t laugh at ourselves, who can? I appreciate your words.

Going to my annual Yom Kippur services was a waste of time? Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the advice. If I may return the favor: generally those of us who are “4 Zion” tend to write in coherent sentences.
