Netflix's New Series Never Have I Ever is the New Binge Worthy Series
Let’s be honest, now of all times is the best time to binge watch a variety of different shows on Netflix. With that being said, the newest series Never Have I Ever created by Mindy Kaling, explores different aspects of being a young Indian girl in High School after a traumatic year. Devi (played by Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) is just trying to live by the American standards of high school while being reminded of her Indian roots. Her and her friends Fabiola (played by Lee Rodriguez), who is trying to hide her sexuality to fit into the standards she thinks her family wants for her and Elanor (played by Ramona Young), who is chasing a dream that was inspired by an absentee mother, are all just trying to make it in high school.
This Netflix series shows in depth of heartache and not just from a romantic standpoint, the struggle of acceptance, living by the standards that society sees fit and trials that test your friendships. While I am not saying everyone’s high school experience is like this, many can relate. There is one thing that makes this show different and that is the exploration of mental health throughout this whole series. Dr. Jamie Ryan (played by Niecy Nash) is trying to help Devi come to terms with the traumatic loss of her father and the world we know as high school. She is trying to guide Devi into understanding that her not dealing with the loss of her father can overlap into the feelings and stress she is taking on at school.
With Devi focused on boys and I mean one boy in particular, Paxton (played by Darren Barnet), Devi uses him as a distraction that ultimately ends up causing many of her problems throughout the series.
This series is one hundred percent a recommended series for you all to binge. You will laugh, cry and find moments that you can relate too. This would be a perfect for the next Netflix Party choice for you and your closest friends.

At the rise of Covid-19 many of us first questioned the timeline of fashion week and would we see the regular calendar continue - the question weighed over many of us for months! It was refreshing to see design houses and designers across the globe take advantage of the uncertainty and plow into production mode - thus my interest in Jerri Reid New York - The Black Designer based in Brooklyn New York wow’d instagram with his latest collection paying homage to the Black Is King film which debuted earlier this year in July. I was taken aback at quick of a turn round the young designer produced and released his well crafted designs reflecting some of the films most memorable moments.
