Never Have I Ever Season 1 and 2 Insights and Review
Before we start watching Season 3 all at once, here are our favourite parts of the show so far.
Never Have I Ever
Play Never Have I Ever on Netflix if you’re in the mood for a binge fest and want to watch a juicy, feel-good drama. The show has two seasons, and on August 12, the third season will be available on Netflix. The thing that Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher made is full of romance, comedy, feelings, and, of course, a tonne of drama.
The brave main character, Devi, isn’t perfect, but she has a kind heart and a fierce drive to win, especially if you’re Ben Gross. Is she stupid? Yeah. Will you cry because of her? Also, yes. There’s no need to say that you might feel sorry for her.
Before we start watching Season 3 all at once, here are our favourite parts of the show so far.
When Devi Suggests a Relationship With Paxton
It’s normal for your whole body to cringe as you watch this part. But it’s also a completely ridiculous scene that shows how Devi’s character is more than just a nerd. She’s also brave.
Devi’s Encounter With a Coyote
Devi has a spiritual, wild experience with a coyote she thinks is her father. The coyote bites her, and her so-called “cool” classmates make fun of her.
John Mcenroe Popped Up at the Beach
John McEnroe, a famous tennis player, is the voice of Devi’s narrator in the show. In the last episode of Season 1, he shows up out of the blue at the beach. John helps Devi by yelling at Nalini to get her attention, just like Ben does.
The Ash-spreading Scene at the Beach
Devi and her mom finally get along, and the whole family goes to the beach to spread her dad’s ashes. You must be crying right now.
Paxton and Devi Study Together
Devi went out of her way to apologise to her friend Aneesa, even though she had been kicked out of school. Devi made a big mistake when she spread a rumour about her friend’s eating disorder that turned out to be true. Now she was trying to make up for her friend.
Never Have I Ever Review
Devi Vishwakumar is back for another season of making bad choices, ruining people’s lives, and stringing boys along like it’s her full-time job. This Netflix original show has it all: funny writing by Mindy Kaling, heart-wrenching conversations about loss, and Darren Barnet’s abs.
In Never Have I Ever, high school student Devi Vishwakumar is an Indian-American. After her father dies, she has to figure out how to live in the world. There are complicated friendships, a rocky relationship with her mother, and a messy love triangle between her academic rival, Ben, and heartthrob Paxton. All of these things give this show the charm that the coming-of-age genre is missing.
Season three starts where Summer 2021 left off. Devi and Paxton are finally together after a long time apart. The group of friends is back together again. Things are better than ever at home. But it doesn’t take long for our favourite main character to bring it up again. Her relationship with Paxton ends quickly because she lets her jealousy take over. Self-sabotage has already begun.
Okay, we know that Devi is not a perfect person. But who can say she’s wrong? Devi’s way of dealing with the loss of her father is erratic and random, and her grief comes in waves. This shows that coming to terms with the death of a loved one isn’t easy. The way this show shows grief makes it hard for viewers not to feel sorry for this helpless teenager. Devi is so stressed out by the back and forth of regret, anger, and denial that the rest of her world slowly falls apart. But the most heartbreaking thing is the guilt she feels when these feelings aren’t as strong. When will our main character be happy?
This season brings in a third love interest: Des, who has a beautiful face and got into Stanford early. He seems to be the perfect guy. Devi has found her person at last. But, alas, even the best things must end. Des has a problem that many men all over the world have: he has mummy issues. And with that, and a thrown iced coffee, their relationship is over, and we’re back to the question that has been at the centre of the whole series: Which team are you on?
The cast of this show is often praised for being very different. Why is diversity so important in books about growing up? What makes Never Have I Ever so good at it? Teenagers are easily influenced, and seeing romantic leads who never look like them can hurt their sense of self-worth. Seeing a girl of colour be the main character and be loved by not one, but three boys has a big impact on a young mind. Even better, the characters never seem like they are just there for show. Devi is more than what she came from. In fact, she shows how second-generation immigrants often identify more with their nationality than with their ethnicity.
Devi often makes mistakes. She’s not always a good friend or a good daughter. Still, we care about her growth as she learns to deal with the many challenges that life has thrown at her. Even though she is self-centered and irritable, the audience still cheers for her at the end of each episode. We don’t like her, but we love her. She’s just like her bossy mother.
So, what’s so special about this show? Never Have I Ever shows what it’s like to be a teen better than shows like Riverdale and Euphoria. Most of the time, the drama is small and unimportant. There are no big drug problems or crazy sex scandals. There are no mean girls, so Devi’s worst enemy is herself. All of this makes it seem like the show is about real life. I’ll admit that maybe not all of us have rich kids and athletes chasing after us, but it’s as close as you can get to reality.
If the ten episodes don’t keep you busy for more than a day in the summer, don’t worry. The show has been picked up for a fourth season, which is said to have already been filmed, and will be back in a year. So, while England is in the middle of yet another heat wave, enjoy the heart-stopping drama of Sherman Oaks High School. I’m telling you, it’s worth it.
