PP prude here. I completely agree. My children are toddlers, but I can see how this show would be GOOD to watch with middle schoolers. Lots to talk about. It's also clean. The mom's lines are SO good: "oh, maybe princeton will let you keep a tiny baby in your dorm." LOL.

Just finished watching this with my 12 year old daughter. We liked it.

I liked seeing a story about Hindi-Americans. How many of those stories have we seen? Not that many.

All the men are pretty hot and yes Paxton does seem 30.

I think the mom said “it’s not contagious” about Devi being in a wheelchair because they didn’t know what was causing it. That’s probably not the case with most people in a wheelchair That’s probably not the case with most people in a wheelchair. I’m not saying the FDR or UN comments were appropriate either.

I generally like to watch these things with my tweens and teens anyway, do we can talk about why something is not appropriate or the right choice or thing to do. Also, most stuff on tv is either too babyish and stupid for them (Disney, Fuller House, etc), or it’s violent or from an all male perspective or all superheros of something 100% sexual/soft porn or inappropriate. It’s actually very hard to find smart stories we can watch together without cringing or being bored.

Anyway, I liked it; the mom was my favorite character. Excited for season 2.

Oh my. It’s not Hindi American. She’s a Tamilian American if you must. People from Tamil Nadu in India do not speak Hindi. They speak Tamil. Hindi is a language FYI.

Pp here who wrote Hindi American. I’m sorry I made that mistake, I was trying to show that I understand that there are many Indian ethnicities. I guess I goofed.

All the more reason to have stories like these.

FWIW, it bugs me when anyone calls someone from a country in Latin America “Spanish”. No, they probably SPEAK Spanish, (unless they are from Brazil where they speak Portuguese or something), but unless they are from Spain, they are not “Spanish”. Or “Mexican”, necessarily, unless they are from Mexico.

You don’t need to tell people there are many Indian ethnicities if you don’t even know the difference between the language and the religion.

EXACTLY. I'm white and seeing different ethnicities on TV is so refreshing.

Really? My 15 year old wants to watch, I was considering watching with him.

We are watching with our kids who are around 16 and 14. There are some cringeworthy moments but overall they really like it.
