"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.
Never Have I Ever doesn’t skip a beat in its return, and remains entertaining, challenging, and a joy to spend time with.

SEASON 2
“Never Have I Ever” Season 2 is just as delightful, funny, and relatable as Season 1, thanks in large part to its cast. Ramakrishnan and Jagannathan remain the MVPs, but there’s not a sour note in the bunch.
The first half does tend to feel repetitive of Devi’s season one issues, but the payoff is well worth it. Never Have I Ever is ultimately about her coming-of-age, and season two tackles it with vibrancy and much-needed introspection.
Hadid’s voiceover quickly proves just as flat and unnecessary as McEnroe’s, exposing a frustrating flaw in an otherwise very entertaining teen comedy.
Kaling and Fisher have a robust grasp of what works, as well as which of their actors to lean on. But the duo are also too reluctant to jettison the components that no longer serve a purpose. The result is a follow-up season that, despite its greater narrative streamlining, feels crowded with characters and conflicts that make this otherwise sweetly horny, hijinks-fueled series feel bloated and weighed down.
Never Have I Ever, now in its sophomore season, struggles with the same sort of identity crisis of its protagonist. It tries so hard to win over particularly white viewers who might say they don't identify with the main characters, but in doing so it sometimes dilutes what makes its heroine so great.
The second season staggers a little, but it still packs the charm that the first season has, albeit with a little convoluted plot brought in by the addition of many characters.

SEASON 2
An ok reissue of season one going so much as still not resolving Devi's love life. No growth has happened and people seem to always tolerate her toxic and inconsistent behaviour. It's not memorable in the slightest and feels difficult to commit to. With that said it's still entertaining to watch casually while u do something else like write this review.
