[@KeenanMaistry]

I still remember when my Dad died, all through the funeral, I didn't cry, all I did was look at his body, seeing this man that looked like my father resting. As soon as they put him in the chamber, and as those doors closed, I knew that was the last time I was ever going to see him, and I just exploded. I felt all those emotions hit me at once, and just started bawling. Cremation is so common with us, and I don't see a lot of that on TV. I see enough media of burials and the emotions of lowering a loved one into the ground. Parts of me wonder why Mindy Kaling and the writers invested that time with her losing her Dad when it was really about her high school life and creating adult situations in a high school setting. There's parts of the show I liked, like the adult stories dealing with her mom, and the grandma was cute, though at times it just felt like I was watching it just to see how much Devi was going to mess things up as always.

[@KarraMeansSpicy]

Thank you for sharing, it's so tough to go through such a thing. I too was impressed to see Devi's family dispersing the ashes in the show, although I always thought we disperse the ashes in a sacred or sanitary place (and California public beaches are neither of those things). And of course the moment was ruined with Ben. This show got a lot of things right, but like you said, it was hard to focus on that when Devi's character was just so messy lol

[@mynameisreallycool1]

I think it's not just the fact that Hollywood is obsessed with teens having sex, but it also doesn't make sense for Devi as a character. She has a supposedly "strict" Indian mom but is able to have sex with multiple guys and go to parties? 🤦‍♀️ I had actual strict parents, and even if I wanted to have sex in high school, there would've been no way I'd find a place or time to sleep around with guys or risk getting in trouble. All these people who write teen shows have never actually experienced having strict parents, and it shows.

[@zarlashtkhan3740]

I very quickly decided Devi is simply insane. And that made the show a lot more watchable

[@flerev3486]

I think her relationship with her mom is why I clung to this show until the end

[@HungryEyes-sl3mu]

I also liked her relationship with her thearapist, that she was called out for her self destructive behavior but still had a safe space to express her emotions.

[@areeba7045]

5:28 finally someone mentions this and also i dont think this is just with eleanor- this is an issue with all the characters imo, they all sound like ai trained to have very specific intonations and speech patterns. i dont know how to describe it but i feel like the writers in my own words, "wrote too hard" meaning they didnt want the actors to go outside of their designated lines. every piece of dialogue sounds like they'd been practicing for 5 hours right up until they started shooting. kinda rambled but i hope what i said makes some sense lol edit: wrong timestamp lol

[@KarraMeansSpicy]

No I definitely understand what you're saying. While some of the jokes are funny, most of the dialogue is just so... "HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW KIDS?" and yeah everyone in the show is a victim of this, but I felt that Eleanor was perhaps hit the hardest, a close second would be Kamala and Paati lmao

[@mediaconsumer7468]

Grief makes people do crazy things. But bad writing is definitely happening in Never Have I Ever.

[@samtheflutegirl1373]

I actually really liked Devi's character development. I really liked that I could see her grow from angry and reactionary in season 1 to much more mature and controlled by the end of the show. I really liked that by the end of the show she didn't need to be in a relationship to have a happy ending and there was more focus on her personal growth. I will say though that the show's focus definitely was not on Devi processing grief. While I think the intent was for Devi to be using boys as a distraction and not as a processing method, that idea was often abandoned for drama. I also really agree with you about the end of season 1. Devi making out with Ben right after spreading her father's ashes was just weird and left a sour taste in my mouth.

[@teurba-chiredfurrball787]

@@KarraMeansSpicy Of course, you make good content and your geniune, you make good 💩

[@smithaupadhya]

As a 41 year old NRI Indian aunty, this got me in the feels. I lost my dad when I was 21. I loved my dad very much, he was my whole world. I used to ask my uncles and aunties (my dad’s siblings) for any mongrel of information they could throw my way about how my dad was as a kid, as a young adult… I too used to get jealous of anyone who knew my dad for a longer period. Having had no one to talk about my grief, and going to therapy not being such a widely accepted thing back in 2005, I handled grief in strange ways- usually by putting myself in dangerous situations. In 2007, 2 years after my dad’s death, I moved out of Bangalore to do my masters in the US. And just as you said, my mental health got worse being away from home. I have made vast strides in my mental health in the 20 years since my dad passed, but sometimes videos like these, bring everything back. Here’s wishing you a lot of mental peace for the rest of your life.

[@melaniemorgan9236]

I like the show because I thought it was very humorous, but I never really thought about how it handled grief and that way really changed my perspective

[@Bleedingstrawberry]

All I can say is that my high school experience was so not like that when my mom passed in the 9th grade… I really wished that Devi’s grief was more explored and not magically solved so quickly, especially since grief (at least for me) is very much an ongoing process. And yes, I too didn’t care for the sex scenes and all of Devi’s romantic endeavours. I really hate that in order for teen shows to be “entertaining” they need to sexualise teenagers. One other thing that irritated me was how Devi got into Princeton by writing a sad essay. I’m not sure how the US schooling system works but it can’t be that simple… I really thought the show would subvert the whole “MC gets into Ivy League school by writing essay” trope because she got waitlisted. Like, you’re telling me that all I need to do in order to get into a really fancy university is write a depressing essay about my dead mom? Sign me up. My last comment is actually somewhat of a compliment . I liked the fact that Devi was Tamil since as a Tamilian myself, I feel like Southern India doesn’t get that much representation in Western media. I got really happy when “Saami Saami” played. I’m so used to “Desi Girl” or “Radha” or even just generic Punjabi music. So yeah, that was nice to see. Thank you for reading this long essay 😂

[@TheHappybunny671]

That’s definitely not all you need as good grades and extra curriculars are necessary but yes American colleges do like trauma dumping and showing how you struggled through adversity and still did well despite that

[@whos_zain]

The title is so clever!!

[@calculoopy]

I have a kamala's pov on this situation (Indian who moves to us for higher studies). I have heard of Riverdale from all the video essays on KZbin and I have read the archie comics growing up. It's not like people back home have never heard of it. And like many Indian films do talk about rebelling parents to marry the person they chose. Popular Bollywood films are based on this concept so it was pretty weird to see Kamala get empowered from Riverdale out of all media on that aspect. I wish I could tell more about Tamil films(I'm not from that part of the country).

[@mubdeekhan3179]

Check out the movie Mogul Mowgli starring Riz Ahmed. Great movie about a British Pakistani guy dealing with grief and, ironically, also loses his ability to walk. The movie is really well acted and beautifully written, a great story about the distance between a son and a father, between living in the west vs back home, and the trauma of partition. A real gut wrenching movie that has all the things that this show doesn't.

11:17 Fortunately I have not experienced what Ian has in such young age. But despite of that the whole movie made me cry my eyes out. I was watching it with my boyfriend and both of us felt so emotional at the end scene when he realised his brother was his acting father right from the start

[@ruwiee2378]

Glad you discussed this show.

[@nsn5564]

OMG I am so glad I discovered your channel recently. As a much, much older Indian American woman who did not grow up in the US, I can't speak to the accuracy of the experience of a young Indian American girl. But, I have lost my father, I have had the same nauseating experience in the crematorium, and was just annoyed and squicked out by the storyline of sexuality of this young girl. I was extremely, extremely invested in liking and praising this show, because it does, after all, feature an Indian American girl as the protagonist, which hasn't happened before. But I did not like Mindy's writing here and focus. I feel like a traitor not liking it, but that's the truth. I only watched the first season. I still am ambiguous about whether to continue.

[@labi2999]

As a brown girl, I really liked the show but the last season was terrible. The show was unrealistic and that's what made it funny. It's very exaggerated. Especially the friendships and high school drama. In high school people were crazy about losing their virginity but it was much more subtle as girls are usually scared of coming off as desperate and vulgar but I think that's why the character of Devi is appreciated by so many brown girls, she's a little shameless and cringy but what she's going through is still relatable and I'm saying this as a nerd who was considered unfuckable until I got into depression right after high school and lost a lot of weight. But the ending, I wish she had not gotten into college. I didn't get to go where I wanted to go partly because it was expensive and a lot of nerdy girls I know didn't get into the college they wanted but they still turned out happy. Some are still working towards their goal. Devi not getting into Princeton would have been more realistic as she's ways too needy and a very average character. She's smart but there's nothing that special about her just cause her dad died. Her capitalising on her dad's death was odd and sent the wrong message. The ending made me dislike the show.

[@LizzylovesLobo]

i feel like your monologue at the end was in agreement with the shows overall message, like as i watched this i was like well i did see all these themes in the show. Also there is something wrong with me i didnt see MANY of her decisions as all that crazy lmaoo like yeah relationships did make up the majority of my high school experience (never fought a coyote tho), and i dont think u can have a relationship without friendship so i think ben and paxton did provide friendship for devi when she needed it because romantic feelings are FROM platonic ones. I think the relationship devi has w her mom is the most impactful one the show has not really the 2 boys (but their friendship was also very important just not AS important). idk the show had good and bad it was a little cringey but also felt kind of self aware (at times).

[@neverendinglute3125]

I don’t think presenting to a teen audience that getting with guys will fix your pain and problems is a great idea. Not to restrict creativity or anything it’s just there’s already a lot of that and not a lot of stuff for teens on what will get them over their pain and problems and it’d be nice for them to see more of the later

[@rachnab04]

Honestly I love this analysis, I was the new Indian kid at a school (there was one Indian girl there all the time and I showed up later) and I couldn’t ever figure out why she hated me when I just wanted to be friends 😅

I started watching the show when season two came out and i genuinely loved it so much. It was definitely a comfort show, and i was bawling my eyes out at the end of the show. I really liked it because sometimes Devi felt relatable, and it distracted me from how stressful school was. Now I'm 17, i can tell how the show wasnt that good, and how weird it could be at times, and cringe, but i still would rewatch it

The writing of this show makes me so sad (disappointed). But your discussing of your handling of grief was too relatable (fellow south asian, but half white, with dead parents). I def gotta check Onward, i've not kept up with pixars stuff from the last 5-7 years.

[@KarraMeansSpicy]

I'm so sorry for your loss, I don't really keep up with Pixar's new movies either, but Onward is definitely the exception! My guess as to why the movie didn't do so well is because it came out RIGHT at the beginning of quarantine (but then again, so did NHIE...)

[@sleepy.timaeus.arts.]

@@KarraMeansSpicyto be fair, onward is a movie that was likely meant for the big screen, and nhie is a show that was always made for streaming. a bit of a different ballpark, and likely the main reason it didnt gain a lot of traction. i also know some people were confused with tom holland voice acting. i believe around this time he had also done a movie with will smith that flopped as well. some people mightve been tired of him. plus, it’s typically harder for single movies to get whole fandoms behind them, which definitely helps something become more well known. onward was simply caught between many unfortunate circumstances 😔 but i think it mightve done fine if things didnt happen the way they did.

[@wordswithdragons9599]

i likewise watched NHIE because there was an Indian lead (3 seasons, couldn't watch 4 bc i just Knew Paxton was gonna get sidelined / Devi's arc was going to be unsatisfying bc of the desire to pair her with a white boy when she honestly shouldn't have ended up with anyone!) but all I could think about the whole time was "Crazy Ex Girlfriend". It is also four seasons and although it doesn't talk about grief, it is laser focused on another mentally ill woman who thinks being in a relationship will solve all her problems. The difference is that CEG is a one season construction, three season long deconstruction of that core belief. (While also being a musical.) She and her best friend realize that in spite of the love they have for each other, they are also super enmeshed and need to reform their relationship patterns. Her initial romantic rival learns that being married was never going to fix her and her bf's problems and that she needs to find a healthier view of the women around her. A character joyfully realizes he's bi. And at the end of the show, while the main character has gone through a lot of pitfalls (so many pitfalls) as well as healing and growth, and romantic love is on the table... The show understands and commits to its theme that romantic love can be just one part of happiness, but it is not happily ever after AKA I spent most of my time watching NHIE wishing it'd be more like CEG. The Dragon Prince on Netflix also does a great job at talking about how grief can persist and affect you for years (esp loss of a parent) and it's really really nice

(@4:30) As a black person who had to watch over my niece and nephews while having to watch Disney channel shows, this is the first time I've of someone say Raven Baxter was selfish. Granted, I'm still ticked off Raven's character had to wear a trenchcoat, due to the Disney Channel's laziness in giving better wardrobe decisions for Raven's character (due to her being overly developed up top). Now there's nothing wrong with wearing a trenchcoat, but if all of her classmates are wearing t-shirts and tank tops, something is wrong. It probably explains why she's having "visions" all the time. When you're in a desert, those visions are called "mirages," Raven is wearing a hot trenchcoat all day, (looking like Trinity from "The Matrix") having a heatstroke because of those "visions". The teachers should've told Raven to take off the trenchcoat and sit next to the air conditioner. Rant over😅

Then, catsylst, boom season two opens with her trying to deal with the consequences of her actions and actually feeling her grief. Maybe toss her into therapy for good measure.

10:05 TBF, this could be made into a good story if you spun it into some dark humor, changed the genre, and made it a movie. Add in the subsequent KZbinr venture and its totally a quirky, buttersweet inspiration story in the making. (Idk if you'd feel comfortable with that, but people would certainly eat it up) Heck, you got some ammo here to write, from the perspective of someone who lived the inciting events of a fictional character, a story about a girl in a niche minority demographic who lives through the events of a fictional niche minority character's life. You could go SO meta if you felt ok getting into writing about this time in your life. You're already so astute in your observations on media in general, but this specific coincidence frames it in a way that even the most clueless folks would hopefully start to tune in to. (I kinda get comfort by putting painful stuff behind a veneer of fiction, but I understand if that's not for you)

To show a 16 year old making out right after throwing her dad’s ashes… all I can say is Mindy got a messed up mind, and the worse is this is aimed at teenagers. And she knows this is incredibly disrespectful to Indians, her own people, but I guess she does it for shock value or something. Oh well, all this racism towards Indians ain’t gonna end well for anyone. As they say you reap what you sow, if you sow seeds of division and hatred don’t be surprised if there is conflict in the future. So glad I grew up in India, seeing Indians depicted as normal people with a healthy amount of pride in who I am. I fee bad for the children in the diaspora who have to grow up seeing this type of “representation”.

[@miraofalltrades]

I do love this show and enjoy all four seasons but my interest dissipated over time as the death of her dad because less of a focus because it was definitely still affecting most of her decisions. I think this is the first time someone has actually said that the grief storyline was flawed because it suggests she heals very quickly, rather than her not healing quick enough. To me, when I experienced the grief of my nan (who I felt emotionally closer to than my parents), I look back and realise I went on a similar rampage in terms of dating and using sexuality to feel the void which is a very common way for people to deal with trauma. Devi clearly has daddy issues and her relationships show it. Like even her kissing a guy after spreading her dad’s ashes is wild but to me makes sense considering what she’s like. To me, it’s like she’s finding a replacement and she saw it right in front of her immediately after she had to let go of him. I think a lot of what I said about this show is nuanced in a way the writers don’t intended to be fair but I enjoy it. I could say more myself but yeah .

The movie that really wanted to be about two white boys going on quest, that knew people were tired of watching white boys going on a quests so they painted them blue??? The movie that (I swear I had another issue with this movie but it's been so long and watching it the first time was such a slog that I've forgotten most everything else about it)??? Yeah, I'm out.

The people who care about the love interest things are the people who ship!! The ones who want to see which guy brings out the best in her or are good support. I wouldn’t want to admit it but I do believe ben has been the love interest from the start..it was kinda fate. But I do dislike the whole “team this” but yeah that’s the people who give a sh!t. Also 9:37 was very tasteless and uncharacteristic considering you were just talking about how hearing of explicit teen sex is tired

I never had a problem with Devi in season 1. Quite honestly, I think it's stupid for adult (male) viewers to judge teenage girls so viciously for simply acting the way teenagers do, never mind that she just had a pretty life-changing loss and is not getting the best support to deal with it. And I'm sorry, but people are just always harder on girls for that anyway. When a teenage boy does something inconsiderate, he's just "acting his age," but when Devi does it, she's a terrible person who doesn't deserve any sympathy? Come the fuck on already. I also want to add that while I am not Indian, I do have an Indian friend who also lost her father during high school, and she resonated very strongly with the first season for that reason. It was actually her recommendation that made me want to watch the show in the first place. My problems started mostly in season 2. I thought her whole "two boyfriends" thing was completely stupid and that most teenage girls would not seriously entertain that idea for more than a second, plus the whole business with Aneesa really didn't help. It got to the point where I actually sympathized more with her mom (who, to be fair, was also getting more "humanizing" moments at the time). It got (mostly) better in season 3 and 4 and I don't regret watching the show overall, but I'm not going to get mad at anyone who disliked it more than I did. also paxton is the most boring character ever written and I'm glad his actor got a much better role in Blue Eyed Samurai

as someone who lost a parent at a young age and has a strained relationship with my one living parent I get where you’re coming from. With that being said I do think you’re thinking to personal when talking about this show. It’s coming across as “I grieved right you grieved wrong”.
