In case you’ve been living under a rock, “Never Have I Ever” is an American coming of age comedy-drama television series starring Maitreyi Ramakrishnan and created by Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher. It’s a bit YA, comedy, but it’s partially based on Kaling’s childhood in the Boston area growing up. It’s become a big hit on Netflix ever since it debuted in 2020 and was seen as a watershed moment for South Asian representation in Hollywood.
