The TVI Take

Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher's Netflix YA sitcom anchored by Maitreyi Ramakrishnan as Devi Vishwakumar, an Indian-American teenager processing her father's death. The structural commitment to letting Tamil-American Southern-California family-architecture be the actual cultural subject, at register YA streaming rarely attempts, is what gives the property its representational weight.

John McEnroe's narration is the show's most-debated structural choice.
