Are TV shows the future of rom-coms?

Netflix’s newest original series “ Nobody Wants This ” from creator Erin Foster is the latest attempt at a solid romantic comedy, or rom-com, starring Kristin Bell and Adam Brody.

This new series follows the traditional format of a rom-com in the form of a 10-episode TV show, and according to The New York Times , this series is helping to resuscitate the rom-com.

“It’s not bad. The jokes land. The story hums along. The people in it are real-ish — they may do cartoonish things, but they are not cartoons. Kristen Bell and Adam Brody, who play the central couple, are charming and work well together.”

“Nobody Wants This” is about the unlikely relationship of Joanne, an irreverent, outspoken podcaster, and Noah, a newly single rabbi.

Netflix’s new series follows recent attempts at a great rom-com such as the movies “Anyone But You”, “Family Affair” and “The Idea of You.”

Though the classic medium of rom-coms is films, “Nobody Wants This” is far from being the first rom-com TV series. This year has already seen the release of Prime Video’s “My Lady Jane” and Netflix’s “One Day.”

These TV show rom-coms allow viewers to watch two people fall in love just like in a movie, but with more time to get to know the characters and get invested in their love story.

While traditional rom-com movies normally follow one couple’s journey, TV show rom-coms can follow the love stories and storylines of multiple characters.

Are there other rom-com TV shows like ‘Nobody Wants This’?

There’s been a bevy of rom-com TV shows lately, such as “One Day” and “My Lady Jane,” along with “Emily in Paris,” which had the premiere of its fourth season earlier this month. Others include “High Fidelity,” “Starstruck” and “Love Life.”
