Ryan ( Niecy Nash) just how desirable Paxton is, the doctor gently reminds her that Paxton is also a person with feelings and problems - and that instead of focusing on losing her virginity, Devi has the option of finding something to succeed at that will give her a more genuine and lasting happiness. When Devi blows off her therapist's suggestion that they discuss her father's death in favor of impressing upon Dr. The moments when Devi and this show get real, though, are remarkable for their sincerity.

Underneath these everyday concerns lurks a terrible sadness, but on the surface Devi is a regular TV teen who worries if her outfit's cool enough, and hesitates to approach the boy she likes when he's hanging out at the 'Hot Pocket' (where all the cutest, coolest boys at school sit at lunchtime). Thus Never Have I Ever, like Devi, has depths that are barely papered over with plotlines about parties and romantic misunderstandings, problems at school and fights with her mom. But rather than dive into a pool of unfathomable grief, she'd much rather focus on more typical teen angst and worry about boys and being cool. Chief among her woes is the untimely death of her father, an event that Never Have I Ever shows us in flashbacks that emphasize the horror Devi is hiding under layers of easier-to-take pain, like the embarrassment of belonging to a social niche Devi's nemesis calls the U.N. When we meet Devi, it's on the first day of her sophomore year of high school, fresh from having endured incredible pain and humiliation as a freshman.

Sex-obsessed teens are nothing new in entertainment, but sex is just a cover for what the leads in this fresh and charming series are really seeking: love, acceptance, and validation.

They also learn how to accept each other and live more authentic, happy lives. Language is frequent and includes 's-t,' 'hell,' 'damn,' and 'goddamn.' A boy calls a group of girls 'unf-kable,' and a girl calls her mom a 'bitch.' Nonetheless, the multicultural group of teens in this show are capable of great integrity and self-control: They make mistakes and learn from them, they treat others unkindly and then regret their actions and make amends. Violence is infrequent, but there are repeated flashbacks of a character's death (no blood or gore), and a girl hits a boy during an argument. A girl urges her therapist to prescribe drugs including Klonopin and Paxil (the therapist doesn't). Teens also drink to the point of acting foolish and making mistakes, winding up with an injury that requires hospitalization. One teen struggles to come out to family and friends. In another scene, girls use stuffed animals to demonstrate sexual positions, which they name ('reverse cowgirl,' 'love seat,' etc.). They also talk about characters' looks and bodies, including a scene in which girls say a boy looks like he's 'smuggling a pepper grinder' under his pants. They do kiss, flirt, and talk about boyfriends, girlfriends, and romance.

Teens scheme to have sex, but no one actually winds up having it. Expect lots of mature talk about sex (referred to as 'boinking' and 'boning,' etc.). Devi (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) learns to be more emotionally honest and to accept her grief as she navigates typical teen problems related to friendship, school, and romance. Parents need to know that Never Have I Ever is a series (co-created by Mindy Kaling) about a teen girl who's mourning the death of her father.
