For people who are saying that Never Have I Ever isn’t relatable, honestly not every narrative needs to be relatable to everyone in the target demographic (Asian Americans/ teens, 1st gen Indian Americans) and that’s what representation is sometimes.

Yes representation is really scarce and important but white people can have a million different narratives that aren’t relatable to the majority of thier target demographic and audiences of all races still enjoy them. POC can and should be able to have this too. Obviously there’s not nearly enough representation, but it doesn’t mean that a show is bad just bc it doesn’t reflect your own specific upbringing. You can’t expect the experiences of one Indian American girl to represent every 1st gen Indian American. This show is only more evidence that there needs to me so much more representation. Instead of complaining that it’s not completely “accurate” or “relatable”, we should be supporting POC led shows and lobbying for more representation so that there’s more opportunities to have media that represents you.

To all the people saying Never Have I Ever is not relatable. It’s the fact that not everybody stories are same. yes there were parts in the show where I thought it was cringe and I didn’t relate to it but there were other parts where I did. When Devi said she’s not Indian enough for some but too Indian for others I felt that. I wish I had this kind of representation on TV while I was growing up. I think it's a good show did it have some downs, yes but it also had some amazing ups. We need more tv shows and movies that show all people in different lights. I think Mindy did an amazing job with the show and I hope Netflix doesn't cancel this show as it has with others.

a Review - Never Have I Ever

Warning: slight spoiler ahead.

I watched exactly three episodes of Netflix’s new very anticipated show Never Have I Ever , and was going to write a review on how disappointing it was, but ended up watching the rest of the seven episodes in one single evening.

Never Have I Ever is about a first-generation Indian-American, Devi, caught in a whirlpool of teenage angst and high school drama, all to while going through the grief of her father’s passing.

While watching the first two and a half episode of Never Have I Ever, the only thing that went through my head was how they’ve just shoved a bunch of diverse group of casts into a mainstream plot. This was To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before all over again; cliche plotlines that just featured a non-white character to get credit for taking a brave approach to diversity. If a white person had replaced Devi/Lara Jean, it probably wouldn’t have done so well. Speaking of Lara Jean, why did they have to recycle her room to Devi’s?

Having a diverse show/movie doesn’t mean casting all the characters into coloured people; it’s like to have an empowering female-led movie, you have to downgrade the male strength and ability (cough Charlie’s Angel cough).

The show’s plotline is pretty much a cliche, too, only if you take out all the cultural references and scenes. As previously mentioned, Devi was a white American girl, the story would have no uniqueness to it and would be thrown into the list of typical high school chick feeling like it’s the end of the world for her. Seriously: from the moment Ben existed, it was painfully obvious that it would be his lips that her’s would be locked in in the end.

However, after the third or fourth episode, the thought completely slipped out of my head for good. Instead of revolving around the life of Devi, the show takes its time to explore the story of other characters - from Ben’s (absolutely loved the episode with Andy Samberg’s narration) parents neglection, Eleanor’s issue with her mother’s abandonment, Kamala’s struggle of wanting to please her family with directions she doesn’t like, Nalini’s hardship of being a single mother with no social support system, and Fabiola’s struggle to come out to her family.

Never Have I Ever is also refreshingly comedic, in a very contemporary and sort-of racist way. It’s funny till the point it blinds the fact that it has an unoriginal plotline, and I think this is perfect for anyone who enjoys high school-set TV shows that deals with important modern topics without having an unnecessary serious and dark tone.

I can’t also express how much I appreciate the show for being realistic, and how we think and act like teenagers. I went through such a similar experience myself in high school, where I misplaced the value of my friends when it came to a boy and dealing with clashing conflicts with my parents who grew up in a different culture. It was nice and hopeful to see Devi dealing with the issue in a mature way while still staying happy and not worrying about trying to please everyone. In addition to that, a lot of teenaged shows and movies stress on the idea of toxic friends, but Never Have I Ever reminds us that sometimes in life, the toxic friend can be us. Sometimes, we have to take a step back and pick up our broken pieces to properly heal and be a better person, before properly reaching out. Speaking of teenagers, GOD, thank you for casting teenagers that ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE TEENAGERS.

I really enjoyed Never Have I Ever. It was a refreshing take on what it means to be a high schooler when the simplest things like relationships are currently the most important things in our life. It’s also very relieving to see a much better representation on characters from different races and cultures, and I’m glad that many of the non-American/white kids today don’t have to grow up feeling bad that they’re not white, only because their culture is not represented fairly in the media without having to be stereotyped. It was nice to watch a show that felt the need to cast only coloured casts without taking the proper time to include cultural references.

Also, this is completely off related but how in the world does Paxton look so much like Henry Golding and Sam Claflin. And Fabiola sort of resembles María Pedraza??

I genuinely don’t remember watching something so good in a while. Never Have I Ever is a cheerful and important reminder that even though our struggle may make everything seem like it’s the end of the world, it’s … simply not. I would definitely recommend this to everyone and hope that Hollywood continues on with productions that share relevant messages.

I know some people have some issues with Devi’s choices but need I remind you: she’s 15

I personally LOVE seeing a teenage character ACT LIKE A TEENAGER. It’s what Riverdale, PLL, Euphoria to some extent got wrong.

representation is important because I just cried watching the fourth episode of Never Have I Ever by seeing an indian teen dealing with the feeling of being "too Indian" for white people and "not indian enough" for indian people and I felt it deep down. please watch it on netflix!!!
