How this season is filed
Mindy Kaling's teen comedy with grief, tennis, and John McEnroe as the world's strangest narrator. Maitreyi Ramakrishnan's Devi is a South Asian lead allowed to be annoying, ambitious, and loved in the same episode. Watch for comfort-staple craft and a high-school voiceover bit that should not work and absolutely does.
