Calling any mid-to-elder millennials who grew up obsessing over The OC and
crushing on Adam Brody’s character Seth Cohen (how can we ever forget the man who coined the term ‘Chrismukkah’, a neat portmanteau of Christmas and
Chanukah). Brody is back in new Netflix TV series Nobody Wants This – a charming romantic comedy co-starring Kirsten Bell that charts the unlikely
romance between an agnostic sex podcaster (Bell) and an unconventional rabbi
(Brody). Streaming now on Netflix.

We’re visiting...
