Never Have I Ever is a 2020 Netflix comedy series by Mindy Kaling. It centres around Indian-American teen girl Devi Vishwakumar and her family, following the recent death of her father.
After a traumatic year, all an Indian-American teen wants is to go from pariah to popular — but friends, family and feelings won’t make it easy on her.[1]
Tropes used in Never Have I Ever include:
- Coming Out Story: Fabiola and Jonah
- Closet Key: Eve, for Fabiola
- Dawson Casting: Darren Barnet
- Harp of Femininity: Subverted, as Devi has a temper and isn't the stereotypical "demure, quiet, floating" girl/woman, but a real person. It's also tied to her father's support of her to excel, specifically that the harp is a better instrument than other string instruments, eg. the guitar.
- Hollywood Nerd: Devi, Fabiola and Eleanor. Ben Gross.
- Love Triangle: Pretty much 5 different ones going on and switching up on rotation

- Narrator: John McEnroe.
- In 1x05 and 2x03, respectively, Andy Samberg and Gigi Hadid narrate
- Nerds Are Virgins: Ben Gross calls Devi and her friends the U.N., which they think is a racist dig but he reveals stands for 'unfuckable nerds'.
- Parental Abandonment: Eleanor's mother
- Shirtless Scene: Paxton. Quite a few.
