I’ve been enjoying “never have I ever… “A production by Mindy Kaling that is inspired by her own teenage years. Engaging young people play these high school kids.
Lol, except for Paxton who is played by a 30 year old.
But yeah, the writing is fantastic and John McEnroe narrating the story of a teenage girl is a stroke of pure genius. I can't even fathom how that came about, but it's honestly my favourite part of the whole show.
The show also steadily gravitated towards the characters generally being incredibly respectful and kind to each other while also being self-absorbed teens who constantly fuck up and hurt each other's feelings. It's a fresh take on coming of age drama.
I also adore the mom and the fact that she's a full, independent, very interesting character with her own relatable plotlines.
This is what I watched while very sick recently and it made me feel better. Total comfort TV.
ETA: DH just said that this show is *by far* the best show for walking in and out of the room periodically because out of context, the one-liners are hilarious.
He has zero idea what the plot is, but says he loves it.
