Netflix fans have named the 'most disappointing' shows of 2025, with one critically acclaimed series topping the list despite a high overall score. In a Reddit thread, users were asked to identify the worst or most disappointing Netflix shows of the year, and the romantic comedy Nobody Wants This emerged as an unexpected frontrunner.
The show, starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody, premiered in 2024 to widespread praise, earning a 95% Rotten Tomatoes score from critics for its first season. It follows agnostic podcaster Joanne and newly single rabbi Noah as they navigate their relationship despite their differing lifestyles. However, season two, released in October, has been met with harsh viewer criticism.
Critics gave season two a 79% rating, while audiences scored it just 53%, bringing the overall critical score to 87%. Viewers on Reddit described the second season as 'unwatchable' and claimed it 'repeated the same storyline' as the first. One fan wrote: 'I loved S1 so much. S2 just repeated the same storyline.' Another said: 'S2 was SOOO BAD, they had no storyline, I’m done with that show.'
Despite the backlash, Nobody Wants This has been renewed for a third season, set to air next year. It remains to be seen whether the upcoming instalment will recapture the charm of the first series.
