Perhaps it would be best if Devi Vishwakumar ( Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) had a little impulse control, but goodness, is it fun to watch the fallout from her choices! Never Have I Ever's second season, now streaming on Netflix, opens with the main character's mother, Nalini, catching her daughter kissing Ben (Jaren Lewison), Devi's rival-turned-crush. OMG, someone wrote “stupid bitch” on Devi’s car! Time for war.Spoilers for Never Have I Ever season 2 ahead.I don’t think he’s wrong about them not being suited for each other, but I also.want them to make it work? Even though he’s the kind of guy who name-drops athletes he’s friends with?


Personally, you will never catch me giving my teenage child a Subaru (they can take the bus!), but I love Devi’s mom’s trust in her. OMG, Devi’s mom is giving her her old car? I was shocked when my dad did this, and I was 23.Devi asking the gods to bless her college application while she prays is one of the little details that makes this show feel so real and sweet.Dwight Howard convinces Ben to reply to Devi extremely nonchalantly, based on the punctuation in her text, so he.basically ends things with her? In a “Have a great summer” text? WHY ARE TEENAGE BOYS SO STUPID?.The course of teen love never did run smooth. Okay, Ben thinks Devi was the one who wasn’t into it.Did I have to Google “Dwight Howard”? Maybe.Ben meets Dwight Howard at the gym and confides in him.? Truly, this show is unmatched as far as inexplicable sports cameos go.Devi channelling her inner Kristen Stewart (“I wear shorts to the Oscars”) in order to work up the confidence to text Ben and invite him to Starbucks is everything.Ah, the post-first-time recap with the besties.I love, and remain mystified by, the fact that John McEnroe narrates this show as himself.Devi, you’re likely in for a lot of guys saying things like this to you after sex, but I promise it gets easier. Ugh, Ben tells Devi he has to “hit the hay” and offers to call her an Uber.Can I just say that this show’s depiction of teen sex (neither picture-perfect or dramatically traumatizing) is the best?.

The Netflix series-created by Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher-has long been a joy, centered on a hotheaded, delightfully rude Indian-American teenage girl named Devi living in the San Fernando Valley and trying to figure out how to date boys, deal with friend drama, and evade her strict mom without losing her mind. I’ve been waiting with more eagerness than befits a 29-year-old for the new season of Never Have I Ever to drop, and it’s finally here.
