Episode Guide
The protagonist has been a playa all their life, and they’ve been known to throw a rager. They’ve also been known to open a textbook, have an Indian frenemy, and have betrayed a friend. They’ve also begged for forgiveness. In the end, they’re Daisy Buchanan and they stalked their own mother.
In the season 2 premiere, Devi dates both Ben and Paxton. Fans were confused about who she would choose to date, but she turns out to be a player and dates both boys at the same time. ..
Devi and Ben both like each other equally, but they are not able to choose between them. Ben must improve his grades in order to get into college, while Devi must continue to date Paxton in order to keep him around.
He is assigned a tutor who is none other than Devi herself and they both work things out and become friends. Meanwhile, a new Indian girl, Aneesa (played by Megan Suri) joins the school and after initially being Devi’s competition, turns out to become her frenemy (friend and enemy). Aneesa and Ben get close which Devi cannot digest.
In the season finale, Devi makes a deal with a demon to get her revenge on her ex-boyfriend. However, the demon reveals that he is actually her new love interest and she is in for a big surprise.
This season, Devi has shown a very erratic side. She often dates two people at the same time and sometimes makes decisions that have serious consequences for both of them. This has caused many people to question her judgement and whether or not she is really worth the time she spends on her.
Paxton is left out of the sports career he was hoping for due to Devi’s betrayal. Ben is heartbroken and falls for another Indian girl, Aneesa, who tries to ruin his life for her convenience.
Devi’s character has not progressed much in the last season and it hurts to see her live in the same chaotic way that she has in the past. In many ways, season 2 sees Devi stoop to new lows as she stalks her own mother and berates her for finding love so soon after the death of her father.
Season 2 of Never Have I Ever is just as entertaining and binge-worthy as the first season. It’s perfect for teens and young adults who love a good laugh and some lighthearted fun. ..
The show “K-On!” is not really marketed for adults or mature audiences, but it can be enjoyed by those who need something to run in the background while other more important things require their full attention. ..
With different narrators like John McEnroe, Andy Samberg, and Gigi Hadid lending the respective point of views for Devi, Ben, and Paxton, it is interesting to find famous celebrities talking to fans with inside jokes as they tell the audience what is going on in the minds of their characters.
The cast of the show seems well-suited to their roles by now and new characters like Aneesa are a welcome surprise. However, I expected more depth to the story and more maturity from Devi as opposed to the chaotic way in which she dealt with things in the first season. Maybe the third time is a charm I guess! ..
