“Never Have I Ever,” Reviewed: Hotness and Hotheads
Darren Barnet and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan appear in “Never Have I Ever,” a charming but maladroit coming-of-age series from coming-of-age series “Never Have I Ever” begins, its fifteen-year-old heroine, Devi Vishwakumar (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan), before heading off to her first day of sophomore year in high school, kneels in front of her household’s shrine. “Hey, gods,” she says, hands folded in prayer. “It’s Devi V., your favorite Hindu girl in the San Fernando Valley. What’s poppin’?” She’s wearing a cute, casual outfit and is in a tidy middle-class bedroom. Last year “pretty much sucked,” she says, so this year she has some requests: she wants to be invited to a party where she has “the opportunity to say, ‘No cocaine for me, thanks’ ”; thinner forearm hair; and, most important, a boyfriend—“and not some nerd from one of my A.P. classes.” He should be “a stone-cold hottie who can rock me all night long,” she says. (This is startling—she looks more like a kid than an adult.) “He can be dumb—I don’t care. Thanks for considering. I love you guys.”
This voice—assured, breezy, somewhat self-aware aspirational hedonism, with a keen appreciation of stone-cold hotties—will be recognizable to fans of Mindy Kaling, the Nora Ephron-loving “Office” alum, memoirist, and longtime proponent of the rom-com, who co-created the semi-autobiographical “Never Have I Ever” with her “Mindy Project” colleague Lang Fisher. The series, like the drinking game with which it shares a title, is about innocence and experience—and about a teen-ager’s plucky, na?ve desire for more. It asserts itself with sassy confidence right away, not just in Devi’s voice but in the narrative’s framing. “You may ask yourself, Why is sports icon John McEnroe narrating this tale?” John McEnroe asks, reasonably, in voice-over. One reason is evident immediately: it’s funny. After a brief montage of McEnroe jumping around and hoisting trophies in a terry-cloth headband (“Wow, I look great there!”), he presses on with Devi’s backstory.
Devi’s parents, Nalini (Poorna Jagannathan) and Mohan (Sendhil Ramamurthy), came to the U.S. in September, 2001, McEnroe tells us: “Not a super chill time to be a brown person in America.” They were a happy family of three; last year, while watching Devi’s harp solo at a school concert, Mohan had a heart attack and died. Soon after, Devi’s legs stopped working, and she spent three months in a wheelchair. She was cured from her paralysis by a glimpse of the school hottie, a swimmer named Paxton Hall-Yoshida (Darren Barnet), which inspired her to rise up and walk. (Cue the opening credits, to Robyn’s “Dancing on My Own.”) By the end of the first episode, Devi has introduced herself to Paxton and offered to have sex with him.
If you’re thinking, Yowsers, I agree. The series is itself like a socially awkward teen-age nerd—charming but maladroit, heedless, a little exhausting. (The wheelchair subplot is treated as a lightly embarrassing trauma, then abandoned.) Like many nerds, it leads with a bit of showing off: there’s a montage of Devi’s having competed for No. 1 since elementary school with her rival, Ben Gross (Jaren Lewison). “You might call them the John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors of Sherman Oaks High School,” McEnroe says. “Not to make this about me.” Devi and her two high-achieving best friends, the theatre nerd Eleanor (Ramona Young) and the robotics whiz Fabiola (Lee Rodriguez) are known, McEnroe explains, by “the lightly racist nickname the U.N., ” because they’re “an ethnically diverse group of academically focussed, um, I can’t think of a better word for dorks.” Devi is also a “hothead,” we’re told. Just as McEnroe once screamed at umpires and threw tennis racquets, Devi blows up at her friends and relatives, and does things like smash her chemistry beaker when Ben gets a better grade. She’s feisty, which we like, and grieving, which we empathize with, but she’s also difficult. And both she and the series itself tend to fixate on hotness in a way that’s off-putting, suggesting that nerds of many ages simply can’t differentiate between beauty, desire, love, and connection. Devi’s frequent comments on looks are meant to charm us, I think—as when she exclaims that a visitor to the house is “hot,” when she’d worried he’d be “an uggo.” The visitor politely thanks her, but some of us will cringe.

Update report with Gans Vienna 11. 12. 2016
My attempts at Keshe technology began in October 2015
Since then, my life has changed completely.
CAR
My 19 year old car VW Polo SDI family built in 1997 consumes only 4.5 l of Diesel per 100 km. Got fully fueled I drove 100 km and then fully fueled again exactly 4.5 l then the Tank was full again. There are 2 18 winding coils coated one left turned and one right turned filled with CO2 and CUO goose soaked with a foam in the coils on my battery, Co 2 goose in motor oil, 3 ER Goose and tungsten carbide goose 20ml in the Tank, a Generator with Plasma ball filled with CH3 and lead goose and 2 capacitors ( right and left wound connection on Ziggarettenanz?nder , above the roof at the same distance 4 glass balls filled with CH3, CUO2 , Znco2 and Gold goose , in the middle there is another lead goose ball.
The windscreen wiper system contains CO2 goose water.
I wash my car only with liquid Plasma water, it stays shiny for a long time and it adheres much less dirt to it.
On the ground is a V2, 1 plasma generator
To the car battery 2 glass vials to hang with coated copper coil 18 coils in the lead-goose and CH3 goose filled. The engine is now extremely quiet and the drive when driving away and coupling better than ever it purrs like a kitten
HEALTH
I have been drinking CH3-C02-ZnO-CUO2 plus amino acids goose water for 8 months . I give equal parts of CH3-C02-ZnO-CUO2 goose, amino acids (10ml) in a 1 L glass jug and fill it with water (pH 8.5), and drink the upper water. I am emotionally completely balanced, sleep now excellent, am full of energy and no longer suffer from back pain which I only had at night. I placed 3 coated copper slats coated with Co2 ,CUo2 Ch3 goose and laminated them. They came under the sheet in back height. I sleep on a water cushion with goose water from ZnO, Co2 . My 3 Chihuahua dogs drink the same as me and we don't really feel hungry anymore I only eat because of the taste. My dogs only eat a third or sometimes half of what they used to eat. My Amy (Chihuahua) has a trachea constriction from birth and when she is happy (emotional Problem) she always had breathing difficulties and gasped since she drinks the goose water it is only very rarely that she gasps. I use liquid plasma water (diluted goose water)wherever you need water.(Showering, washing hair, cooking, cleaning, etc.).)
At my water pipe in the house I have a small Nano-coated copper pipe in the pipe another Nano-coated coil with 18 turns. All my water pipes in my house have a pH value of 8.5-9.0.
A longtime friend has an artificial outlet he now has back-normal creatinine levels and no longer needs infusions, which he needed twice a day because his kidneys processed only little fluid. I gave him 3-he goose mixed 6ml (ZNCO2, CUO2, CH3) that he gives for several months in a 1L water in a glass jug waits until the goose settles down and then only drinks this water.
GARDEN VIEW
Dried herbs do not lose their color, they remain green. Plant growth was twice as much this year. In October I still had many small green cherry tomatoes and also green salad tomatoes, I took them and put them in my living room, within 2 - 3 weeks all tomatoes were red. Last year 2015 in autumn I did the same because I had no idea about Plasma and the tomatoes have all remained green.
I have already tested the rainwater in my garden twice on different days,
it has a PH of 7.5. In the garden, I've filled in a star formation, with three coated glass beads with Ch3, ZNOCO2, CUO2 and Aminos to run.
REACTOR STAR FORMATION
In the house is a reactor ( PC fan) with aluminum Goose and one with iodine +B12 and one with lead-gold goose in operation
In addition, 2 star formations are in operation in the House.
In the garden there is a star formation (in the doghouse because of the weather)
POOL
My Pool
Capacity 13 000l water added 10 l of copper sea goose water and 20 litres of Co2 sea goose water at the beginning and waited 4 days from Flushing connected with a sand filter solar system for the pool in between. Then I realized that the walls were slippery so coming algae infestation, left out half of the water again and watered my garden with it. and fresh water replenished, I could not help but add multi-functional tablets into the water. There are 2 coated copper hanging spirals in the basin 2 coated copper sponges on the ground and a glass bottle with Co2, goose water. There are 6 coated table tennis balls filled with Co2, Cuo2 CH3 goose water in the water and swim there. I must find surprised
That the water does not smell like chlorine, the skin is wonderfully soft no white chlorine coating on the skin and you feel totally relaxed and at the same time totally refreshed after the swimming pleasure like in a spa bath
In my tobacco box I put a CO2 and Cuo2 copper Goose bottle with pure to neutralize the unhealthy additives.
I have already built and experimented a lot and everything worked.
Great thanks to Keshe and all the contributors to this technology, may it spread worldwide.
