As often as the romance genre is dismissed, it’s one of the hardest to sustain on television. This is particularly true of a series centered on one core couple like Nobody Wants This. The opposites-attract love story of cynical sex podcaster Joanne Williams (Kristen Bell) and earnest “Hot Rabbi” Noah Roklov (Adam Brody) became an instant hit on Netflix thanks to the stars’ electric chemistry and the show’s heartfelt exploration of whether two such wildly disparate souls can make a relationship work.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword may be one of the more unpopular titles in the series, but it still has its place in the annals of gaming history and has its place among dedicated fans. It is no surprise that Nintendo opted to port it over to the Nintendo Switch back in 2021, nor that said port proceeded to perform well both commercially and critically, as, while certainly not without flaws, it’s a classic Zelda experience, the likes of which we simply haven’t gotten in a mainline entry in quite some time.
