When Indian-American teen Devi loses her father to an unexpected heart attack, her entire family is forced to confront their grief and come together in order to cope. Devi also loses (and eventually regains) the use of her legs shortly after her father's passing, which shows how the psychological pain of grief can have physiological effects. Never Have I Ever has plenty of lighthearted, comedic moments, but it also shines a powerful spotlight on how people from collectivist cultures typically cope with loss.
