![]() What's hurtful is that Poorna's Nalini has lost all her snappy comebacks which made her such a perfect Indian mother in the last seasons. That wasn't even the best part of the previous season. The only thing it retains is the painfully dull Paxton Vs Ben with the new addition of Nirdesh in the mix. This one is just happy being an ordinary teenage drama. It made me wonder why were teenage years so devoid of drama in my case.Įven though it was pure tokenism, the second season at least tried to present a few issues plaguing the teenagers like eating disorders, the shallow dependency on looks all the time and more. It is just an endless charade of people moving from one partner to another and wallowing in self-pity. This third one seems so rushed and without merit. So a few things that worked in the previous seasons are the familiar vibe of an NRI family, how they navigate High School in the US, the POV voiceovers, some great funny one-liners, getting updated on Gen-Z lingos (remember 'Hilare' in the last season?) and some typical Indian behaviour. Now coming to the long list of things the series annoyed me with. Yea, sounds a bit disturbing to hear young girls taking trolls as a measure of popularity but trust me, the way Ramona Young says it, is hilarious. While Devi is antsy and paranoid about it, Eleanor simply explains it as a measure of Devi's rising popularity that now she has haters and trolls. Hear this: Devi dating the most popular guy in school Paxton earns her an anonymous DM where someone is warning her about him. Honestly, we all need an Eleanor in our lives just to show us a side we never even consider. The way she simplifies the craziest life issues is so refreshing. ![]() So damn NOICE! Whoever is writing Eleanor's character deserves a standing ovation. He retains the Jake Peralta voice modulations and those are the best bits of this series. Getting to the good parts which are so far and few, it's good to hear Andy Samberg as Ben Gross' (Jaren Lewison) POV voice. Rest is the usual teenage drama that this kind of series always shows. That leads Devi to look for boyfriends and find Nirdesh (Anirudh Pisharody), a nerdy hot son of her mother Nalini Vishwakumar's (Purna Jagannathan) newly-minted friend. So she creates situations which get difficult for Paxton to deal with and they break up. ![]() Never Have I Ever Actor Darren Barnet Calls Shah Rukh Khan A Mix Of Brad Pitt And Tom Cruise (Watch Video).ĭevi (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) starts the season by being in a committed relationship with Paxton (Darren Barnet) but feels he is out of her league. Mindy Kaling could have just tweeted the story as a 150-character post. But the third season is just not required. While the first was a stereotypical Indian crossover cliche, the second just cruised ahead with first-world teenage problems. Never Have I Ever season 3 review: This season of Netflix's teen comedy series Never Have I Ever is a classic example of a video meeting that could have been an email. ![]()
