Devi's talking to her two best friends, Fabiola and Eleanor, and who are - well, there's a reason that they're friends. And this is a scene from the first episode. RAMAKRISHNAN: As of right now, lots of video games and playing piano, violin - honestly, anything that will keep me from doing nothing because I can't stand doing nothing. MARTIN: So I assume you're self-isolating. She is from Ontario, Canada, and she's with us now from her home. I just want him to be a stone-cold hottie who could rock me all night long. But not some nerd from one of my AP classes - like, a guy from a sports team. I know it's an Indian thing, but my forearms look like the friggin' (ph) floor of a barber's shop.Īnd lastly, most importantly, I'd really, really like a boyfriend. Two, I'd love for my arm hair to thin out. I'd just like the opportunity to say, no cocaine for me, thanks. MAITREYI RAMAKRISHNAN: (As Devi) I'd like to be invited to a party with alcohol and hard drugs. (SOUNDBITE OF TV SHOW, "NEVER HAVE I EVER") When we first meet Devi, a new school year is about to start, and she's in her bedroom praying to the Hindu gods. Not only is she trying to navigate high school, but she's also grieving the recent death of her father and a mysterious bout of paralysis.
It exploits all the cringe-worthy moments of high school life through the eyes of Devi Vishwakumar, a smart, funny and slightly nerdy 15-year-old Indian American girl. It's called "Never have I Ever," and it's a Netflix show co-created by and loosely based on the teenaged years of the actress, comedian and writer Mindy Kaling. Switching gears now, the awkward, exhilarating and sometimes traumatic experiences of teens navigating high school have inspired many hit TV shows over the years - think "The Wonder Years," "Dawson's Creek" and "Gilmore Girls." There is a new entry to that list and from a fresh vantage point.
