If nothing else, give Nobody Wants This credit for allowing itself a tiny bit of growth: After two seasons of exhaustingly circular conflict about whether a good-boy rabbi like Noah ( Adam Brody ) could ever really be with an agnostic Gentile sex podcaster like Joanne ( Kristen Bell ), season three begins not only with the couple moving in together, but Joanne starting Jewish conversion classes.

Finally, we’ve graduated from asking if to asking how . For a show whose very dithering had previously seemed to reflect Joanne’s fear that “no one wants to listen to happy,” it’s a welcome step forward. But as lifelong flake Joanne has learned many times over by now, wherever you go, there you are. Nobody Wants This might be on its way to becoming a sweeter, more even-keeled version of itself, but it can’t completely shake the bad habits that have made it nearly as exasperating as it is endearing.
