True, the Nora/Josh relationship is a lot more interesting because they are not the perfect couple George and Nina were almost the entire time. I am a hopeless romantic, so I love perfect couples but it's cliche and unrealistic. The US BH is anything but cliche, that's what I love about it so much. Nora and Josh clashed almost all the time either because he was being too secretive or because he wanted to lock her wolf up and try to cure her while she wanted to run free. Most of the time they had opposing opinions that would cause friction between them.

George was already talking about Nina being the love of his life in the second season when he briefly dated another girl to help Annie reunite her with her ex. I do not see Nora being the love of Josh's life, and it's never implied that he feels that way. You can easily tell how much more dedicated and deep he was with Julia(although I didn't feel her reciprocation). I kind of agree with Aidan when he had pointed out that his feelings for Nora were likely at least partially guilt. He did after all spend most of his time with her desperate to make it up to her for turning her which is another interesting angle to Josh and Nora.

The Nora's whole thing with the purebreds is interesting, something unique because it's directly shown to not exist in the Brit since George and Nina's child was born human.

Nina annoyed me in the third season with her whole caring for Herrick thing and getting pissed at Mitchell for wanting to kill him. She didn't even know Herrick she had no authority to judge him while Mitchell had every right to feel what he did. So I thought she was really stupid for that. Nora was a bit bitchy in the beginning when they were following the Brit but even then Nina totally has her beat. She was almost always getting pissed about something that either she had no business with or was just plain stupid. Not to mention that the third season was when George and Nina really became that perfect, tight nit couple as I mentioned.
