There are just so many inaccuracies that it drives me mad. Noah drives on Shabbos (no way) and says the Friday night blessing without a yarmulke (also aint no way). But maybe the real reason it bugs me is because my son is going out with the loveliest girl ever who happens to be non Jewish and I didnt ses it coming..
However i do believe that love is the answer, and i will not interfere (note to self, shut up about conversion)
Since writing this on Monday, I’ve read some really good pieces and posts about Nobody Wants This and had lots of interesting discussions and now I’m feeling like I’ve been way too charitable with praise and too restrained with my criticism! So this is a footnote for posterity. This show gets A LOT wrong. I was seduced by the rom com. I blame Adam Brody

Yes, countless inaccuracies and micro aggressions! I’ve been fascinated to see how this discourse has developed as the week has gone on
I’m seeing this recommendation everywhere today and I’m taking it as a sign that I need to watch it asap 😅
Can’t wait to watch this!
You had me at Adam Brody. Have been rewatching the OC. Thanks for the tip!

It’s very watchable but indeed there is a lot of cringe around both Jewish stereotypes and the blonde sisters’ rather astounding ignorance of Judaism.
