Never Have I Ever had a decent season 1 and 2 run. But I was quite underwhelmed by Season 3. 1 and 2 were quite deep, relatable and funny. We could relate to Devi and things were quite eventful. So much happened in just a few episodes. Season 3 felt like a badly written teen romance series that no one asked for. Too many relationships. A relationship for virtually every character for goodness sake. Trent and Eleanor? Quite a random and forced pairing.
I was also disappointed by the poor use of Aneesa this season. She was a great character with a strong story line last season. She was also super bright and this season she suddenly falls well into the background and her whole story is questioning her orientation and who she likes, what a waste. Also Kamala is a great character and they could given her a better story and more screen time. I feel injecting some new characters would have worked really well, a new issue for Devi to focus on, instead of recycling the same old characters with flimsy stories. I think it would be better if Devi went to that great school and we had some new characters in the mix. You could still include the OGs but at least it changes it up. Shame it wasn't a home run this time.
