What’s with the sponcon slop in Nobody Wants This? Netflix, nobody wants this. Season two feels like a long infomercial thanks to endless product placement.

They were in the beginning of production when the LA fires hit and I can’t help but wonder if the extra ad money was needed to keep on schedule? Dumb idea probably. Adam and Leighton lost their house and I remember Kristen Bell saying some crew had as well.
I love Adam Brody but I was okay with this just being 1 season. Do we need 2? Seems like the story was done.
The writer of this is a big Zionist so season 2 being bad makes me happy
Can confirm the article’s thought that certain scenes are directed around product placement. Also Netflix has crazy technical specs based on the assumption most people are watching on small screens, which is why so many of their shows look flat and sterile.
There’s a second season already? Am I delusional or the first season only came out recently
Reminds me of how every abc show has a jarringly obvious amazon prime promo these days
Not really liking this season especially the religious topic.
They didnt even try to hide it, very blatant and in your face placement lol there was a scene of about like 4 or 5 seconds that was a literal focus on a specific skincare product
This article (and most TV watchers) misunderstands what product placement is. Dunkin, Estee Lauder, AirBnB feel like the actual paid product placements here. I rewatched the cheetos one and she never says it by name and the bag only appears for a short time. Compared to the way the Estee Lauder serum is framed in that same scene, it’s clear which one is a paid placement and which one is just a prop. Also saying “we’re DoorDash people,” is a lot more natual than saying “we’re food delivery service people.” Paid placement would sound more like “I really prefer supporting my local restaurants by staying home and having it delieverd to me with the ease of DoorDash.”
Seeing a recognizable brand in a show isn’t automatically product placement. It’s not like when sitcoms used Let’s Chips props and and Heisler beer. Those prop brands became their own distraction and became a signal that a show was maybe lower production value.
I’m not watching or buying anything from the Foster sisters. Sara is on Instagram today calling out Miss Rachel.
