Nobody Wants This Season Two Under Fierce Fire For Excessive Product Advertisements: ‘Lame And Distracting’

The show Nobody Wants This has gained a cult following since it came season premiered last year – but some fans were left put off by one particular detail in the second season.

The second season premiered earlier this month, but many viewers have described it as ‘one big product placement’ and declared it feels more like an advertisement than a season of television.

The popular rom-com Netflix series starring Kristen Bell as Joanne and Adam Brody as rabbi Noah was an instant hit when it began streaming to the popular platform last year – but the advertising in this season has fans furious.

‘This isn’t entertainment it’s a series of product brand sponsorships held together by excessive moments of Morgan touching her hair,’ one viewer slammed.

In the series, the characters are often seen flaunting various brands like Dunkin’ Donut cups and boxes, jewelry by Jennifer Meyer – a close friend of the show’s creator, Erin Foster – a sweatshirt by Sichuan chili oil company Fly by Jing and close ups of Estee Lauder products being applied.

‘They should’ve renamed the show Nobody Wants This Product Placement,’ snarked one Reddit user.

‘It’s SO distracting lol,’ agreed another. ‘I’m only halfway through the season and had to search to see if there was a thread for this.

‘I paused it at the scene where she’s facetiming Morgan and the shot is just like, the giant bottle of Estee Lauder next to the phone.’

‘Yeah they weren’t even trying to be subtle with the Airbnb placement. At least try,’ added someone else.

A different person chimed in: ‘I did like learning Airbnb does experiences…’

‘Ugh yes I didn’t see this and tried to make this same post! Dunkin, Spindrift, Ultra, Bud Light, Estée Lauder, Airbnb. It’s so lame and distracting,’ criticized another.

‘This was like The Truman Show Level obvious and bad,’ declared someone else, while another wrote: ‘The product placement in Nobody Wants This is giving me the ick.’

‘The amount of product placements this season is hilarious to the point that it’s basically a giant infomercial,’ one viewer commented in a Reddit thread.

‘The Airbnb one was especially ridiculous. Also two for Dan Tana’s restaurant- one where Joanne has a Dan Tana’s t-shirt and then later in the episode they show the Dan Tana’s sign.’

The second season of the series left fans underwhelmed, with many taking to social media to express their disappointment, claiming it was too similar to the first.

The new season follows Joanne and Noah as they try merge their very different lives, with Joanne an atheist and Noah a rabbi.

Like the show’s first season finale, however, this chapter ended with Joanne and Noah calling time on their relationship – only for them to come back together seconds later when Joanne realized that she might be ready to convert to Judaism.

The series ended with Noah running after Joanne and telling her that he didn’t care about whether or not she converts.

‘None of it matters,’ he told her. ‘You are my soulmate. I don’t care if you’re Jewish. I don’t care if you’re not Jewish. I choose you every time.’

‘Well, you’re in luck,’ Joanne replied and they kiss.

The final moments of the first season of Nobody Wants This saw Joanne tell Noah that she’s not quite ready to commit to converting to Judaism.

The couple then parted ways, only for Noah to race back to Joanne to tell her that he’s not ready to give up on their relationship just yet.

Explaining the difference between season one’s ending and season two’s, Brody, 45, said: ‘In terms of the difference, I think it’s the same but more.

‘They came together in the end of last season, like, “I’m committing to you.”‘

‘And now they’ve gotten a much longer, more in-depth look at the difficulties and the compromises necessary of that and are still saying, all that aside, “I know what I’m getting into and I’m still doing it. So I think it’s a stronger commitment.’
