Timothy Simons Sees Nothing ‘Wrong’ With Sasha In Nobody Wants This (Exclusive)

Warning: This post contains spoilers for Nobody wants this season 2.

Timothy Simmons stands for his character’s decisions i Nobody wants this.

Simons, 47, plays Sasha, the brother of Adam Brodyis Noah in the Netflix hit. In Season 2, the show follows the end of Sasha’s marriage to wife Esther (Jackie Tohn).

Simons and Tohn, 45, recently sat down with PEOPLE to discuss their roles and share their take on how the season ended.

“I think he was trying to address things without fixing the foundation,” Simons says of Sasha’s failed attempts to mend the relationship. “It just seems like wherever it goes, something has to happen to really see what the underlying issues in their relationship are.”

Esther finally ends things with Sasha and allows him to confide in Morgan (Justine Lupe), sister of Noah’s girlfriend Joanne (Kristen Bell), despite their close friendship being part of the reason Esther doubts him throughout the season.

If he could give Sasha any advice, Simons says he would tell him, “Hey, you’re doing great. Stay the course.”

“I don’t see anything wrong with what he’s doing,” the Veep alum joke. “He’s fine. Perfect guy. You know what? Perfect guy. No flaws.”

When Tohn pokes fun at Simons and questions the sentiment that Sasha is a “perfect guy,” he adds, “I actually have a real answer to that. I think my advice to Sasha would be (do) what he’s doing, which is, don’t try to hold on too tight if she needs it. Give her space and let her figure it out. You can’t force someone to be there.”

While he admits he was “a little surprised” that Sasha and Esther’s story didn’t have a happy ending, he appreciated how honest it felt.

“It’s real,” notes Simons. “It doesn’t always work, and maybe it still will, but right now that’s the weird part. And we put it on TV.”

Tohn, on the other hand, says she “was a little pissed off” when she first read the script.

“I thought they went through so much in Season 1,” says the actress. “She was so heartfelt, ‘That’s my husband, and you should get away from him.’ But I think it shook her up and made her go, like, ‘Well, wait a minute. I have to take a step back. What do I even want here? And then I think I was a little confused, as I think the audience will be, because Sasha and Esther have so many cute conversations and funny relationship things, and the little after-sex shirt and the kitchen sink and the walk the next day and the dance.”

“There’s so much sweet stuff going on between them, but with all of that, she still has questions,” she continues, before agreeing with Simons: “I like it because it’s just so real.”

Second season of Nobody wants this is out now on Netflix.
