Never Have I Ever: Season 1

"While The Mindy Project was content with stretching out a rom-com over several seasons, Never Have I Ever has greater emotional depth."

"It demands a unique perspective, a lot of empathy and frankness, and a willingness to wander to the edges of such well-trodden territory. With “Never Have I Ever,” Mindy Kaling does just that, and she does it with the help of John McEnroe."

"Kaling and Fisher have created a shockingly intimate first-gen portrait that's as comforting as your mother's chai and as salty as the gossip served with it. Sweet, sexy, and whip smart, Never Have I Ever is poised to become Netflix's next big hit."

"Effervescent and droll scripts coupled with a vivacious cast of newcomers leads to a series that initially feels haphazard but leans into its awkwardness for an emotionally resonant series you want to see continue."

"The great joy and relief of Never Have I Ever is that, at least in the latter half of its first season, the series streamlines into a deeply moving exploration of a teenage girl falling apart because she can't bear to deal with her grief."

"It’s a familiar formula for anyone who’s experienced even a minute of YA entertainment, but “Never Have I Ever,” created by Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher, moves forward by twisting it into way more interesting shapes."

"Identity is never simple. Never Have I Ever is pretty simple, though: It’s a comedy set in technicolor California, led by a mouthy teen who just wants to be a little less uncool by the end of sophomore year."

"Much like Hulu’s stellar PEN15, Never Have I Ever anchors its hormonal hijinks in authentic, poignant female friendships."
