1 show and the subject of many group texts.
and who made the mistake of starting the show on a night when they couldnt (amateurs).
Lets break down why the show, loosely inspired by creator Erin Fosters life, is so addictive.
Warning: Spoilers ahead!
Rebecca doesnt need romance; she just wants to get to the finish line, i.e.
the future that she and Noahs mother, Bina (Tovah Feldshuh), have planned.
Noah, meanwhile, is a man who enjoys the journey and navigating the unknown.
But Noah is also funny, non-judgmental and capable of taking Joanne seriously.
He gets that both their professions involve building a community and connecting with those who join.
Joanne speaks openly about uncomfortable topics to comfort others and ease their shame.
Everything can have purpose if you allow it.
Ten half-hour episodes allow the writers to do the dance believably and breezily.
The way they fit together, theres no way youd expect them to say goodbye.
You cant have both.
And I would never make you choose, she tells him, saying goodbye.
Noah does ultimately chase after her (points for the Sixteen Candles-style reveal).
So what happens next?
Netflix hasnt announced a second season (yet), but the finale certainly tees one up nicely.
With Rebecca (hopefully) moving on now, Esther will need another reason to dislike Joanne.
Discovering Sashas loser siblings texts with Morgan is acting like it.
Lastly, how will the podcast fit into the story?
Will Joanne still be keeping the juicy details of her relationship with The Prophet from her listeners?
Can Joanne have both?
Plan to binge accordingly.
