Never Have I Ever- Netflix Series

Devi is not a perfect girl. She has flaws, she is unstable, she yells, she has existential issues, and a lot of internal conflicts. But, when she made mistakes, I loved her for her mistakes. The character Devi is a realistic portrayal of teen life. She made a ton of mistakes, but she corrected it, she apologized, she realized her mistakes.

Often things are categorized as perfect or imperfect, and all the characters become a shade of the perfect protagonist. How many times we had tried to insert ourselves into the categories. But we failed every time? It is all about circumstances, how we deal with them.

Devi deconstructs the ideal protagonist. She is not the perfect girlfriend who is always trying to change her nerd boyfriend. She spoke her mind when she was happy, sad and confused. Right or wrong! She was living through the decisions she made for herself. She two-timed Ben & Paxton when she couldn’t choose. She was not that perfect girl society ask us to be. But she is a perfect nerd who is living her life. If you ask me what I loved most in this series, it is the imperfections of characters. I think this world is more suitable for perfectly imperfect hearts.
