The Netflix series 'Nobody Wants This' is based on the true story of the show's creator, Erin Foster, who converted to Judaism for her husband. The show follows a charming Los Angeles rabbi who falls for a blond, agnostic sex and dating podcaster. The portrayal of Jewishness on screen was vetted by a former senior rabbi, who ensured authenticity and respect. The central tension of the show, whether the rabbi can marry a non-Jew while continuing his path, reflects a realistic issue faced by many rabbis. The series comes out at a time when American Jewish institutions are increasingly accepting intermarried rabbis.
