Devi is a mess, and that's what makes "Never Have I Ever" so watchable and relatable. She's an overachiever who never misses the chance to face off with her academic nemesis Ben, but she's also a teen girl desperate to seem cool, especially when it comes to sex, love, and relationships. In the grand tradition of teen movies and shows everywhere, a white lie about her (nonexistent) relationship with the school's swimming star spirals out of control. Devi and her quirky pals can sometimes be selfish, difficult, and misguided, but they're trying so hard to get things right. In that context, their lowest moments aren't exactly setbacks, but moments of growth, and that's why we still love them.
