Any takeaways from this episode?
Underwhelmed and a little fired up: we unpack Season 2’s recycled arcs, interfaith stalemates, weaponized ‘good guy’ energy, and a wildly unethical storyline.
Spoiler alert: We spoil Season 2 of Nobody Wants This (Netflix). Proceed caffeinated.
This week Kira and Dr. Isabelle dive into Season 2 of Nobody Wants This with Adam Brody and Kristen Bell—and why, despite stellar performances, the story stalls.
We break down the interfaith impasse (values vs. pressure), Noah’s performative “good guy” pattern, and how a nightstand somehow became peak romance.
We also cover Esther/Sasha’s whiplash baby talk, Morgan’s messy choices, and the biggest red flag of all: a therapist who dates a (very recent) former client. We talk power dynamics, love-bombing, and why “leaving an abuser” scenes on TV skip the most dangerous part in real life.
Bright spots? Joanne’s divorced parents modeling mature, joyful post-marriage connection—and Rebecca living her best life.
Tacos were stingy this week, but the conversation’s meaty.
