Stuck on what to watch on TV this week? Take a look at these no-spoiler trending TV show reviews… Nobody Wants This, Season Two Adam Brody and Kristen Bell return as Rabbi Noah and podcaster Joanne, still navigating an interfaith relationship that’s tender, sexually charged, and a little thorny. Season two keeps the fizzy rom-com surface with dinner parties going sideways and feelings being over-examined. However, it also leans harder into questions of faith, identity, and family expectations. With new showrunners Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan, the supporting players get more room with Esther and Sasha’s dynamic in focus. Sister Morgan steals many scenes, and Joanne’s parents hover with wonderfully awkward timing. Noah and Joanne repeat a few emotional beats; the chemistry is still warm but not quite as sparky as last year. Still, the show remains funny and disarmingly direct about the stuff couples usually avoid, such as jealousy, boundaries, the pressure to convert… If season one felt like instant infatuation, season two is the complicated, occasionally exasperating next phase. Not flawless, but honest, witty and worth the binge. Streaming now on Netflix. Down Cemetery Road, Season One Emma Thompson is a blast as Zoë Boehm, a flinty private investigator hired by art restorer Sarah (the superb Ruth Wilson) after a suburban explosion leaves a child missing and a street full of questions. What starts as a neighbourly mystery slides neatly into a wider conspiracy, with a nervy Ministry of Defence subplot and officials who’d rather bury the truth than find it. The appeal is twofold: whip-smart dialogue and pace, plus the pairing of Thompson and Wilson – prickly, funny, unexpectedly tender. Tonally, it sits near Slow Horses with bruised British institutions and bursts of danger. Adeel Akhtar also brings jittery charm. It does stretch plausibility now and then, and you may wish Thompson and Wilson shared more screen time. But the twists land, the banter sings, and Zoë is an instant heroine who absolutely gets things done. Watch on Apple TV+. View all TV reviews. View all lifestyle articles.
