Season 2 Review:
"Never Have I Ever," already an outstanding comedy, manages to be even better in its sophomore run. Everything about the show is more confident – the physical comedy is goofier, Devi's dingbat logic is more outlandish, and McEnroe's narration easily flows with the action.

Season 1 Review:
A comedy that’s also an incredible exploration of grief. It’s not the first comedy to manage that feat, but it’s a hell of a peak to climb, and the air up there is rarified. ... “Never Have I Ever” is not Mindy Kaling’s funniest comedy, but it is perhaps her most honest. In short, it is terrific.

Season 1 Review:
The overpacked clunkiness of that first half-hour — really, the first half of Never Have I Ever's 10-episode debut season — might give some Kaling loyalists PTSD flashbacks to The Mindy Project. ... The great joy and relief of Never Have I Ever is that, at least in the latter half of its first season, the series streamlines into a deeply moving exploration of a teenage girl falling apart because she can't bear to deal with her grief.

Season 1 Review:
Jagannathan and Moorjani channel enough complexity into their performances to make their characters' respective emotional evolutions as vital to the story's success as Devi's circuitous trek. Through them and, to a lesser degree, the concurrent revelations Fabiola and Eleanor experience while their friend is busily finding herself, "Never Have I Ever" becomes a smart, heartfelt guide to several versions of a woman's awakening, acknowledging that for women expressing desire and feelings can be a trickier business than TV or film typically presents.

Season 1 Review:
“Never Have I Ever” is a lot of fun and a must-watch for teen girls thanks to its focus on the little things. The rush of excitement when a hot boy considers you a friend (never mind he’s flirting with every other girl) or the frustration at having a mother who doesn’t understand you. Though the series takes a few episodes to find its stride, once it does, it’s magic.

Season 1 Review:
Devi is played by newcomer Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, who brings a fine degree of spirit and believability to the role — outdistancing the often thin and predictable writing that Kaling, et al, have provided. The comedy here is fine; the deeper stuff (grief, alienation, obedience) gets the gloss treatment. ... Although the show fulfills its obligation to be breezy and fun, mainly as a teen-centric piece of fluff, never does it ever stretch to become anything more than another Netflix nothingburger.

This serie teaches you about the imperfect life of teenagers. I recommend 100% this serie. And I praise the good job of all (actors, writters, producers, director...)

Amazing series, fun, deep, everything you could want. Sure, it has some cliches, but they are way too small to be considered cringy.

I love this serie! Very funny but touching Divertente ma al tempo stesso toccante in alcuni argomenti trattati; certo, una serie leggera, adolescenziale, ma promossa a pieni voti

Never Have I Ever is honestly a decent series a show set in high school with decent characters and a good story. However the dialogue is either 1 very unrealistic or 2 just stupid and pointless. I would recommend it if you like high school coming of age stories. If you don't just skip it.

It's funny how the show was progressive enough to cram woke buzzwords into every scene, yet narrow-minded enough to portray Indian-Americans as a ridiculously superstitious group. Given that this irony was the only thing funny about the show, I couldn't watch beyond ep 2.
