The entire first season of Nobody Wants This followed Joanne and Noah, an agnostic woman and a rabbi who, against all the obstacles in their way, fall in love with each other. 

As their relationship blossomed, Joanne began considering converting to Judaism — it’s a non-negotiable for Noah that his life-long partner is Jewish.

But in the final episode, Joanne ultimately decided she wasn’t quite ready to convert and so, she and Noah broke up.

In true rom-com style though, in the final moments of the episode, Noah raced after Joanne and the two shared a ridiculously sweet kiss. 

“So how does this work?” Joanne then asked Noah… It’s not a huge cliffhanger but it definitely is one.
