We spent entirely too much time with Eric and the swim team and Pati and Len to the detriment of a super strong character like Kamala. I liked their final scene where he comes to profess his love but still don’t like them together. Would Ben have even wanted to date her if she wasn’t conveniently at Princeton? Idk man. I wouldn’t have minded her not getting in, and I hated that super smart and responsible Devi didn’t apply to any ‘safety’ schools, which for her still could’ve been totally great non Ivy schools! Ben was mostly a mean jerk this season, I know there was history but I would’ve liked seeing Devi be a strong independent woman open to all the new people and possibilities waiting for her at Princeton.
I was so disappointed that Devi was going to Princeton in a relationship with ‘Ben from home’. I know Mindy Kaling loves romance and romantic comedies but then focus on having everyone end up in a relationship at the end of this season was one of my least favorite things. Then at the end 19 year old Paxton is dating the new teacher who would have completed a bachelors and masters program already, before he heads back to college? Just WHY. His knack for ‘helping people’ via mentoring Trent or something. He even could have more naturally discovered
His arc was wrapped up nicely in season 3, he could have appeared a few times this season ‘home from break’, etc. I guess it was all for one final kiss with Devi but it was to the detriment of his character. I felt like the viewers could see every issue the writer’s room faced and it was handled with slapping the tiniest of band aids on without much thought.īringing Paxton back to ‘work’ at the school? So disappointing! I liked Paxton but it was so unnecessary.
Never have i ever season 1 episode 10 full#
I just finished the series! I can appreciate how full circle some of the character arcs managed to go, but overall I felt the final season was really uneven and for me, disappointing. I love NHIE so it was disheartening to see things come to a close in a way that felt so rushed and messy I agree that so much of the plot was instantly predictable in a way that I am not used to with this show. But so much of the writing this final season felt lazy, and (bar the finale) felt empty/lacking depth and heart of the prior story. I love Paxton’s arc struggling with his identity and path. I like Ben and Devi’s scene at the wedding, but other than that I really did not care for Ben ever.
I feel like the writers intentionally forced a professionalism dynamic onto their relationship to coerce fans into considering Ben as the only viable option, when the real viable option was a single Devi. Instead they just gave her a bunch of random life freebies that she seemed to either throw away or not understand herself.ĭid anyone else feel like they intentionally shoehorned Paxton into employment at the school to eliminate him as a romantic option for Devi and Paxton fans? I was watching with my friend and seeing him return as a teacher (who just graduated not even six months prior!?) was a big ick. As an Afro-Latinx, Fabiola was uniquely positioned to showcase an interesting microcosm of the HBCU community, and showing the viewers a build up in story and experience throughout her high school years could’ve been super informative and educational. then they should’ve at least had that been mentioned once. If the writers wanted to take the HBCU route. I know people are saying that Howard “has a good engineering program”, but are we really going to pretend it’s in the same category as Princeton, MIT, Stanford engineering? She couldn’t make robotics more inclusive at Princeton, MIT or Stanford, and go work at OpenAI to make it inclusive on a global scale? Instead, it’s discovered because the robot gives a throwaway one-liner to a passing faculty member. She doesn’t seem to comprehend the magnitude of this lottery win, as she’s unsure about Princeton, and again on a whim decides to give it up to go to Howard… all because a faculty member said she’s trying to make their robotics program more inclusive?Īnd then they randomly threw in at the fair that she inadvertently invented AI? Fabiola herself seems perplexed and doesn’t seem to grasp the weight of having invented something that a team of the best Google/Facebook developers from MIT and Stanford took years to build - and we don’t see any of the work that goes into it, nor some global competition where she intentionally showcases it. It seemed like she accidentally stumbled into a Princeton acceptance by applying on a whim and only having robotics as her extracurricular.
They didn’t do Fabiola’s character justice.
