'Nobody Wants This' Season 3 Opens With 6.2 Million Views as Cast Feud and Product Placement Draw Notice
Photo: VarietySeason 3 of Netflix's romantic comedy "Nobody Wants This" drew 6.2 million views in its first four days of streaming, down from 10.3 million for Season 1 in 2024 and 8.6 million for Season 2 in 2025, but still the biggest opening weekend for a returning comedy series on Netflix in 2026. Viewing of Seasons 1 and 2 rose 200% from the week before the premiere, though not enough to return either to the Top 10. Separately, Tovah Feldshuh, who plays Bina Roklov, mother of Adam Brody's Rabbi Noah Roklov, told the New York Post that Brody's comments in a GQ interview last month were "right out of Hitler's playbook" in her view. Brody had said he considers the conflict a genocide and wants a free Palestine. Feldshuh also said Israel's survival is crucial to the free world. Season 3, Episode 5 also shows a Technivorm Moccamaster coffee maker in Noah and Joanne's home.
The right-leaning outlets took two different angles. The Daily Wire leads with Feldshuh's rebuke, laying out Brody's GQ remarks and her quotes about Israel and what she called a "horseshoe effect" of socialism and antisemitism, and says nothing about ratings. Page Six treats the series as a hit rom-com and builds a product piece around the coffee maker, a winner of The Post's Made It Here Awards, citing its Dutch handmade build, six-minute brew time and 10-cup capacity, while tying the appliance to the characters' romance. Variety, the alternative outlet, differs from both by reporting only Netflix viewing numbers and comparing them with earlier seasons. Left-leaning outlets had not reported this story at the time of writing, while right-leaning and alternative outlets had.
