Erin also opened up about the writers who worked on the show, describing them as a “real mish-mosh of people”.

“[Some of them] had converted to Judaism as adults, [there were] people who grew up Jewish, people who were Jewish but had spouses who were not Jewish, people who grew up in more conservative households or less conservative households,” she recalled.

“And really, the irony is that it was typically Jewish writers who were saying, ‘Let me make sure the parents feel like real Jewish parents’.

“I think it’s sort of you’re damned if you do, you’re damned if you don’t. Because if you go against stereotype then you’ll be accused of not knowing how to write Jewish characters. And if you go towards stereotypes, I guess people are going to be upset about that as well.”

Erin first addressed the criticisms levelled at Nobody Wants This last month.

“I think it’s interesting when people focus on, ‘Oh, this is a stereotype of Jewish people’, when you have a rabbi as the lead. A hot, cool, young rabbi who smokes weed. That’s the antithesis of how people view a Jewish rabbi, right?” she said at the time.

“If I made the Jewish parents, like, two granola hippies on a farm, then someone would write, ‘I’ve never met a Jewish person like that before. You clearly don’t know how to write Jewish people, you don’t know what you’re doing, and that doesn’t represent us well’.”

She added: “What I really wanted to do was shed a positive light on Jewish culture from my perspective – my positive experience being brought into Jewish culture, sprinkling in a little fun, [and] educational moments about things in Judaism that I love without it being heavy-handed.”

Erin will remain an executive producer of Nobody Wants This for season two, although former Girls bosses Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan will be taking over as the new showrunners.
