Netflix Series Review: “Nobody Wants This” Season 2 — The Cultural Love Story We Don’t Talk About Enough

Nobody Wants This

I just finished Nobody Wants This Part 2, and let me tell you… This is not just a series about love. It’s about translation. Not language translation — emotional translation. The kind you have to do when you fall in love with someone who doesn’t come from your typical world.

Because dating outside your tribe? Whew… It’s romantic until it starts to require actual work.

What Part 2 does so well is show how love can be loud, intense, passionate — but still fragile when the foundations don’t match.
You can feel two people trying to connect across upbringing, across family values, across “this is how I was raised,” across “my mother will not understand this.”

There were scenes where they clearly love each other — you can see it in the silence, breath pauses, and how they reach, but don’t quite touch. And that’s the heartbreak: Love isn’t always enough if you speak different emotional languages.

It reminds me of what I always say about relationships:
You can know how to love someone, and still not know how to love them in their language.

And this is where dating outside your culture hits:
You’re not just dating the person — you’re dating their family, their traditions, their stress points, their childhood, their expectations.

Nobody Wants This Part 2 highlights how two people can truly want each other… while also realising the world around them is silently pulling them apart. Not out of malice — but because love alone isn’t a blueprint. You still need shared understanding and perspective.

The series doesn’t force a fairy-tale ending or pretend love is simple.
It just tells the truth: Love is a choice — but sometimes, choosing each other means choosing to rebuild your identities from scratch. And not everybody is ready for that.

And now — the sister and her former therapist.
Honestly, this storyline? This is the one that caught me off guard.

Because that relationship is the definition of loving someone who knows you too well.
Someone who has seen your insides before your outside.
Someone who knows your triggers, where the childhood bruises are hidden, where the fears breathe.

That kind of love is intimate — but dangerously intimate.
Because when someone has helped heal you, you’re never sure if you’re in love with the person… or in love with the safe place they once were.

It’s a relationship built on familiarity, not a foundation. Comfort, not compatibility. The question in my head was-

Are you choosing love, or are you choosing the version of you that you felt safe becoming in front of them?

In the end, what ties all these relationships together is this:

Loving someone who doesn’t come from your world is not impossible… but you must be ready to become students of each other.

And most of us?
We only prepare for the love , not the learning.

It’s romantic.
It’s frustrating.
It’s beautifully shot.
