Does Never Have I Ever remind anyone else of Crazy Ex Girlfriend? The therapist scenes are the most similar, with the witty banter and inappropriate border crossing attempts with a charismatic funny therapist. But other plot elements are similar, like trying to decide between multiple potential boyfriends (one East Asian or half, another a rich white dude with a lawyer dad), main character misreading social situations, digging oneself deeper into a hole... Devi is sort of like a prequel to Rebecca.

And John McEnroe as Devi's narrator voice is gold.

Mohan and Devi are dark skinned Indians from South Indian--and they cast Mohan's mother as a light skinned Indian with a bob.

I think Kamala’s character doesn’t seem to fit in terms of being South Indian more than Mohan’s mom.

Both Kamala and Mohan's mom don't fit very well. Devi slightly above average looking, and tall pale Kamala looks like she was a contestant for Miss India. Even Devi's mom is taller and paler than one would expect, but she's a very good actress in this role, so I accept her. Kamala overacts.

What idiotic generalizations. Not all South Indians are dark and short and not all North Indians are pale. I’m South Indian and everyone in my immediate and extended family is the same color as Kamala or lighter and most of us are tall. Devi is v. pretty as are many dark skinned South Indian women. You sound like a disgusting colorist with your bs passive aggressive remarks.

Agree 💯. People heard this or had an Indian friend who told them this and are running with it. They have no idea.

Wrong. I am a South Indian and I think the predominance of light skin Indians on the show (Devi and Mohan excepted) is depressing. But I guess those are the South Asian actors that succeed in India and the USA.

I would hardly call Devi’s mom light skinned. She is as dark, if not darker, than Devi and Mohan. Devi and Mohan are both of Tamil heritage, so I think the casting is pretty great.

Agree. And Devi is the main character with two hot guys who like her. Mindy Kaling has a weird thing for white guys, but she has done fine casting the female characters. And the mom’s name at least is also Tamil but not sure if she is or not.

Did we all know Paxton is 30 (!!!) in real life?!?!

I wondered how old the Pax actor was when I noted his many forehead lines.

Woohoo! Now I don't feel as bad for thinking he's hot

Me too! lol.

Ramona Young is 28 in real life.

She's 23

No she isn’t. She lied about her age. She graduated from college in 2012.

Oh snap you’re right.

How did you figure this out?
