Nobody Wants This works because the two leads are funny together and wrong for each other on paper: a podcaster who talks about her dating life and a rabbi. If that is what you are missing, these three shows have it too. All three are short, and all three are finished.
Fleabag
A messy Londoner tells you everything straight to camera, and in the second season falls for a priest. If the rabbi is the reason you watched Nobody Wants This, start here. Twelve short episodes, and the second season is close to perfect.

Normal People
Marianne and Connell meet at school in a small Irish town and spend years almost getting it right. Less comedy and more ache than the other two. Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal make every silence count.

Starstruck
Jessie has a one-night stand on New Year's Eve and finds out the next morning that he is a film star. Rose Matafeo wrote it and stars in it. The lightest of the three, and the one closest to a classic romcom.
