NEVER HAVE I EVER
After scouring the internet for content to commemorate LEGALLY BLONDE’s 20th anniversary, I was left feeling very nostalgic for the heady days of the early 2000s, when Steve Madden sandals and tube tops were a thing, and “chick flicks” were plentiful. FWIW, I am not a fan of the phrase but don’t know how else to describe the genre that spans SHE’S THE MAN, WHITE CHICKS, FREAKY FRIDAY, THE PRINCESS DIARIES, MAID IN MANHATTAN...you get me. But I have to say, Netflix’s NEVER HAVE I EVER (trailer here) has really scratched that itch for me. The show’s second season dropped on Thursday, and after watching the first episode, I can happily report that this season is just as juicy, relatable, and second-hand-embarrassment-inducing as the first. Maitreyi Ramakrishnan masterfully plays the lead role of Devi and is a huge part of what makes the show so fun. If you’re looking for a laugh alongside a rollercoaster of emotions, definitely dive into Devi’s drama-filled world this weekend.
