Transcript

00:00Audiences fell for Rabbi Noah in Nobody Wants This, suggesting one character from the highly

00:17popular show Fleabag should be revisited.

00:19Nobody Wants This has been remarkably successful since its September 26, 2024, release date.

00:26The show has consistently maintained a 93-95% score on Rotten Tomatoes since its release,

00:31and Nobody Wants This season 2 has already been announced.

00:35This popularity is no doubt due to the star-studded cast of Nobody Wants This in general, although

00:39viewers took a particular liking to Adam Brody's character, Noah, who plays the love interest

00:44of protagonist Joanne, Kristen Bell.

00:47Joanne and Noah's relationship is complex in the show, but Brody and Bell share great

00:51chemistry on screen, and both are charming characters in unique ways.

00:55In Brody's case, this has led to the character being described as a hot rabbi, a description

01:00that shares a striking resemblance with one of Fleabag's fan-favorite characters.

01:04Why Fleabag season 2's hot priest is perfect if you like Nobody Wants This hot rabbi

01:09Similar in nature to Noah in Nobody Wants This, in Fleabag season 2, Andrew Scott plays

01:14a priest who ultimately becomes a love interest for Phoebe Wallerbridge's character, the

01:18titular Fleabag.

01:19While neither Nobody Wants This nor Fleabag invented the idea of an attractive religious

01:23figure, both employ this character type in compelling ways.

01:27In both shows, these characters subvert audience expectations of religious men, particularly

01:32those who hold such important positions, and offer unique portrayals of those roles

01:36The romantic arcs in both Nobody Wants This and Fleabag are complicated in realistic ways,

01:41particularly highlighting how fraught such relationships can be.

01:44In Noah and Joanne's case, this becomes a deciding factor in their relationship in the

01:48Nobody Wants This ending.

01:50When Noah is offered the position of head rabbi, which has been his aspiration for quite

01:54some time, he faces a difficult decision.

01:57He must either decline the offer, or Joanne must convert to Judaism.

02:01In Fleabag, the priest, as is known in the show, and Fleabag have considerable sexual

02:06tension, although initially he is clear that, because of his role, he cannot ever cross

02:10that physical boundary.

02:12Ultimately, the couple does end up sleeping with one another, but the priest walks away

02:15from the relationship in the season finale, choosing God over Fleabag.

02:20Nevertheless, both relationships represent romance, complex dynamics, and heartbreak

02:24in ways not typically associated with religious leaders.

02:28Nobody Wants This and Fleabag both take their religious romances in fascinating directions.

02:33As mentioned, both Noah in Nobody Wants This and the priest in Fleabag must confront the

02:37expectations of their religious roles and the way those rules may conflict with their

02:41romantic feelings and desires.

02:43In Noah's case, he is permitted to have romantic and sexual relationships in his role, but

02:48he cannot become head rabbi if he is with a woman who is not Jewish.

02:51Throughout Nobody Wants This, Noah also grapples with what it means for him to be a rabbi when

02:56his girlfriend is a sex and relationships podcast host.

02:59The priest's love life is arguably much more restricted, as priests are not meant to engage

03:03in romantic or sexual relationships whatsoever.

03:07This is precisely why the priest ultimately walks away from Fleabag, having a relationship

03:11with her is diametrically opposed to the life of a priest.

03:15He cannot have both simultaneously.

03:17While each character faces unique restrictions and obstacles, both are complicated in profound

03:21and meaningful ways, making each plot line satisfying how Nobody Wants This religious

03:25romance is different to Fleabag's.

03:28Kristen Bell and Adam Brody about to kiss in Nobody Wants This, with Noah's hand on

03:32Joanne's face.

03:33Although Noah has been referred to as a hot rabbi and Fleabag's priest has been called

03:37hot priest, the two do share distinctions, particularly in the nature of the relationships

03:42shown on screen.

03:43In Fleabag, the relationship between the priest and Fleabag develops over time because Fleabag

03:48is seeking genuine guidance.

03:50This grows into something romantic and, eventually, sexual, but that was not the relationship's

03:55initial dynamic.

03:56This is very different for Joanne and Noah in Nobody Wants This.

04:00Noah and Joanne had an immediate connection at the party of a mutual friend, and it was

04:04clear from their very first interaction that the two had a romantic interest in one another.

04:09Neither Noah nor Joanne hesitated to acknowledge this connection, and Noah in particular pursued

04:13Joanne.

04:14This difference is likely in part due to the respective rules for rabbis and priests.

04:19While rabbis can have relationships, priests are meant to abstain from all romantic and

04:23sexual connections.

04:24It wouldn't have been in keeping with his role for the priest in Fleabag to have expressed

04:28such a desire.

04:29It makes sense that this relationship would have been more incidental, whereas Joanne

04:33and Noah's relationship was romantic from the very beginning.

04:37Despite these differences, the relationships in both Fleabag and Nobody Wants This offer

04:41unique perspectives on these religious figures in ways that proved incredibly popular.
