What about that part where Joanne was at the synagogue waiting for Noah and someone basically asked her to leave (I saw it when it first came out so don’t totally remember). That was just so dumb and never would’ve happened. It made Jews seem really obnoxious.

That was utterly ridiculous.
Was it, though?
The family is reform. Many reform Jews eat pork. They were acting like the mom was orthodox. Total mess.
It was pure comedic gold that the mom wanted to be nasty to Joanne about how they don't eat pork, only to be caught 20 minutes later stuffing her face with it. Don't take this show too seriously. It's really not a lesson on Judaism some of you think it is.
I got that part, obviously. Comedy has to have an element of truth to work.
But it does. Even reform Jews typically don't eat pork.

Couldn't stand Esther. Who behaves like that to a new girlfriend of a family member (or anyone)? So rude and unwelcoming. Yeeeesh.
You guys, the ex-girlfriend of the rabbi was Esther's best friend. Wouldn't we all treat the new girl in the same way? Why in the world would she be nice to her?

The reference to Party Down was awesome. The show went downhill as it progressed but it was still fun and funny. I'd watch a season 2 and hopefully there is more Sasha and more the sister (although I don't want them hooking up because cheating is gross).

It’s pretty stupid. I still watched it because there’s not much high-quality rom-com stuff out there.

Even that is a better name than "nobody wants this". What a cop out. I bet they called it Project Bell for ages and then had to pick a name night before.
I think "Pushing boundaries" or similar would have been better. Since he's doing it is his job, she's doing it in hers (the boundaries of decency) and they are doing it together.
Or Trouncing Boundaries. Or Slaughtering Boundaries depends on how dramatic you want to be. They are pretty dramatic.
I like pushing boundaries as the show name.

It felt like they were trying to be Fleabag with the hot rabbi. Fleabag is infinitely more clever and entertaining.
