Spoilers for Season 2 of Nobody Wants This are ahead! Read with caution and stream the show with a Netflix subscription.
In Season 2 of Nobody Wants This, my fears from Season 1 came true... kind of. Throughout the season, Adam Brody’s Noah and Kristen Bell’s Joanne had to face the challenge of whether or not she’d convert to Judaism head-on. It was an inevitable hurdle they had to jump over after they decided to stay together last season, and they almost tumbled over it. The keyword is almost, though, because they decided to stay together in the final moments of the season, and that’s in part thanks to a conversation Joanne had with Esther.
00:00I want to ask you about the finale moment and the role Esther plays in Noah and Joanne and kind of getting back together.
00:06What did it mean to you to be in that scene?
00:08And what do you think it meant for Esther to play such a key part in their relationship?
00:13I think the most.
00:15I think it meant, honestly, it probably meant more to Jackie than it did to Esther because Esther is so in her own thing with Sasha at that moment.
00:24But she's just like telling Joanne the truth and how she sees it.
00:29And because Esther is so no BS, when she is giving it to you straight and it's gentle and it's so deeply true in the way that it is, you have no questions.
00:42You're not like, oh, she's lying to me or she's just saying that to make me feel better.
00:45You know she's not capable.
00:47She wouldn't say a certain thing to make anyone feel better ever.
00:49And I think for Jackie, just so exciting to be myself and be such a kibitzer and such a yenta and a person who loves Kogel so much.
01:00To be sitting in a scene, it's meta, with my best friend and being like, you're a kibitzer, you're a yenta, you're all these things that people, it's just like, you can't, you can't imagine.
01:13I don't know if dream come true is the right thing because I never even dreamed to have that because it's so specific and special.
01:18But it really felt divine of like, I have to call my mom and read these pages to her.
