"Never Have I Ever" is Some of the Best TV Netflix has Ever Made, I Mean It

Review of Netflix’s Never Have I Ever:

Netflix’s new coming-of-age comedy Never Have I Ever is practically perfect in every way, and most likely some of the best television the streaming giant has made, or of all time. Period. It’s bawdy, heartfelt, hilarious and benefits from a relatable story and superb lead performances. The show takes a unique angle on the generic coming-of-age story, focusing on a teenage American-Indian girl named Devi (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan), an overachieving high school girl trying to win over a boy, get better grades than her arch-nemesis and attempt to get over the chronic grief she has because of the sudden death of her dad. Newcomer Ramakrishnan gives one of the best TV performances I have ever seen, topping the best from this genre including Molly Ringwald and Saoirse Ronan, which is something to say. The supporting performances are also top notch, led by extraordinarily natural outings from Darren Barnet, Lee Rodriguez and Ramona Young who all have terrific chemistry. The story also constantly focuses on Devi’s older sister, Kamala (Richa Moorjani), who is struggling with her own religion and how she’s quite literally being forced into marrying someone she doesn’t know when she already loves someone. Don’t worry people, she watched Riverdale, it’s all good now. The arcs that center around one of Devi’s best friends, Fabiola are also fantastic, with her debating on whether to tell her judgmental parents about her sexuality. It’s quirky, likeable, adorable and such an easy binge-watch…also, it’s narrated by Borg McEnroe, so that’s all you need to know before watching the hell out of this thing. Trust me when I say you will not be disappointed. And Mindy Kaling created this show. So, yeah.

Should you Binge, Browse, or Skip?

Never Have I Ever is some of the best television you will ever watch, featuring relatable storylines, super performances, and some of the most heartfelt, enjoyable entertainment of the crowded genre. I would say…BINGE IT
