Never Have I Ever Loved Mindy Kaling More
By Mckenziee Belton
Mindy Kaling’s latest show, Never Have I Ever, co-created by the incredible Lang Fisher, is funny, smart, and delves into the realities of being a teenager.
Devi, played by breakout star Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, battles with what every teenager does: finding their identity. She decides with her two best friends that this year is going to be different and that they will be popular, but things get sidetracked as they are each dealing with their own obstacles. Devi struggles to grieve the loss of her father, Eleanor reconciles with her mother’s abandonment again, and Fabiola explores her sexuality, all of which adds layers of difficulty in understanding who they are and want to be.
