Teen drama has never been my genre of choice, I tend to quiver at the thought of soapy melodrama. But Mindy Kaling's Never Have I Ever, despite ticking many boxes of an over-exploited genre, it manages to breath new life into a tired genre and subvert long-running TV tropes, wisely blending pathos with moments of lightness and witty social commentary.

I've never heard anyone talk so intimately and candidly about the conflicting relationship that a woman can have with oral sex, and at the same time make it hilarious.

Unlike her comedy pal Amy Schumer, who made a career out of blaming her sexual misadventures on her low self-esteem, Glaser isn't afraid to show that she enjoys sex, even when it brings her more grief than hope.

This is comedy gold and top-notch storytelling. I suggest that everyone who left a negative review go watch some other cookie-cutter comedian talk about airport food in front of a brick wall for an hour instead. Much like the food in airports, their taste in comedy is bland.
