"Never Have I Ever," already an outstanding comedy, manages to be even better in its sophomore run. Everything about the show is more confident – the physical comedy is goofier, Devi's dingbat logic is more outlandish, and McEnroe's narration easily flows with the action. Read full review

Never Have I Ever doesn’t skip a beat in its return, and remains entertaining, challenging, and a joy to spend time with. Read full review

“Never Have I Ever” Season 2 is just as delightful, funny, and relatable as Season 1, thanks in large part to its cast. Ramakrishnan and Jagannathan remain the MVPs, but there’s not a sour note in the bunch. Read full review

The first half does tend to feel repetitive of Devi’s season one issues, but the payoff is well worth it. Never Have I Ever is ultimately about her coming-of-age, and season two tackles it with vibrancy and much-needed introspection. Read full review

Hadid’s voiceover quickly proves just as flat and unnecessary as McEnroe’s, exposing a frustrating flaw in an otherwise very entertaining teen comedy. Read full review

Never Have I Ever, now in its sophomore season, struggles with the same sort of identity crisis of its protagonist. It tries so hard to win over particularly white viewers who might say they don't identify with the main characters, but in doing so it sometimes dilutes what makes its heroine so great.

Kaling and Fisher have a robust grasp of what works, as well as which of their actors to lean on. But the duo are also too reluctant to jettison the components that no longer serve a purpose. The result is a follow-up season that, despite its greater narrative streamlining, feels crowded with characters and conflicts that make this otherwise sweetly horny, hijinks-fueled series feel bloated and weighed down.

Coming right off a fantastic emotional finale in S1, Season 2 is much more funky, bright and fun. It might not be as strong as the first season, but the acting is much better and the characters, wonderful.

The second season staggers a little, but it still packs the charm that the first season has, albeit with a little convoluted plot brought in by the addition of many characters.

After the not so bad start of 1st season, but having predictable, boring progression, I thought the 2nd season might get the series somewhere else, yet it turned out even more shallow and uninteresting, unfortunately.

An ok reissue of season one going so much as still not resolving Devi's love life. No growth has happened and people seem to always tolerate her toxic and inconsistent behaviour. It's not memorable in the slightest and feels difficult to commit to. With that said it's still entertaining toAn ok reissue of season one going so much as still not resolving Devi's love life.
