Netflixs teen comedy Never Have I Ever dropped its second season on July 15. It brought us back into the world of high schooler Devi Vishwakumar (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) and the struggles she faces not only as a typical teen trying to navigate boys, friendships, and school, but one doing so as a first-generation Indian American caught between cultures.  This season brought back one of my favorite ongoing jokes from season one—mocking the social-justice warrior ideologue who teaches "rethink...

When Mindy Kaling’s hit show,  Never Have I Ever was released in 2020, I had never felt so seen by a character on screen. So to say I was excited for season two, would be an understatement.

But main character, Devi Vishwakumar (played by Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) doesn’t take too kindly to the appearance of a new Indian girl at school. She feels immediately threatened by Aneesa (played by Megan Suri) who she ...

For a comedy about awkward, messy teenagers, Never Have I Ever is astonishingly confident. In its second season, the Netflix comedy builds on a poignant, funny first season by continuing to nail a tricky balance between heartfelt realism and Disney Channel absurdism. It’s the kind of comedy that can delve into a tear-jerking meditation on grief in one scene, then seamlessly transition to over-the-top physical gags where a jock gets hit by a car. This balance makes it ridiculous, but also bel...
