The story centers around Devi Vishwakumar, a 15-year-old Indian-American Tamil girl from Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles. After her father, Mohan, dies suddenly, Devi loses the sensation in her legs. This happens due to the psychological trauma of the event and she is unable to walk for three months.

However, one day she miraculously recovers and stands on her legs, in an attempt to see her crush Paxton Hall-Yoshida. After having a socially horrible freshman year, she wishes to change her social status, but friends, family, and feelings do not make it easy for her.

The following year, she tries to deal with her grief, her Indian-American identity, and school life. All this, while she also struggles with her relationship with her mother, Nalini. Devi also has to deal with her feelings for Paxton and Ben, after she cheats on both of them with each other. Adding to the mix is a new entrant in school, Aneesa Qureshi. The series follows Devi's daily chronicles dealing with all of this.

Never Have I Ever is mostly narrated by professional tennis player John McEnroe for Devi, with one of the episodes narrated by Andy Samberg for Ben, and another by Gigi Hadid for Paxton.

Reception

Critical response

On Rotten Tomatoes, the first season holds an approval rating of 97% based on 58 reviews, with an average rating of 7.82/10[33] while the second season holds a 93% based on 30 reviews and an average rating of 8.30/10.[34] The website's critical consensus for the first season reads, "Never Have I Ever's fresh take on the coming-of-age comedy is hilariously honest, sweetly smart, and likely to have viewers falling head over heels for charming newcomer Maitreyi Ramakrishnan"[5] while the website's critical consensus for the second season reads, "Though Never Have I Ever's sophomore season at times suffers from tonal commitment issues, nuanced writing and an utterly charming cast make it easy to forgive and enjoy." On Metacritic, it has a weighted average score of 80 out of 100 based on 18 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[35]

Controversies

Concerns have been raised about anti-Semitic depictions of Jewish characters. Meena Venkataramanan from Harvard Political Review notes that "The show’s anti-Semitism is exacerbated by [Devi's] academic rival's characterization as a Jewish caricature and the jokes his religion and wealth generate at his expense".[36] Mira Fox from The Forward says "[Ben Gross is] a wildly rich nerdy suck-up, with an absent, workaholic Hollywood lawyer for a dad and negligent Jewish-Buddhist type for a mom. He falsely cries anti-Semitism when his classmates reject his (objectively terrible) idea for a class project. And he’s dating a painfully stereotypical Jewish American Princess named Shira, who he doesn’t even like, in order to raise his own social clout; Shira, he tells Devi, is dating him for his money".[37]

Audience viewership

At their Q2 report meeting in July 2020, Netflix reported the series had been viewed by 40 million households globally since its release.[38]
