This is what you can call a heartfelt teen RomCom. The episodes focuses on Devi who's ethinicity is Indian but has lived in California ever since she can recall. After her fathers death, her legs become paralyzed due to the trauma. Months later she's seen getting back to her normal physical self, with her legs working, her best friends who she fails being a good friend to, her mother always on her back,her perfect cousin and her boy crush, Devi struggles to confront the ghosts of her past and move on in life.

I honestly loved the fact that there is finally a show out there that brings out Indian culture and doesn't just portray an Indian playing a role of a taxi driver or just a confused background actor like in every other shows and movies. There definely was humour to look forward to and the daily and pretty realistic ups and downs of a teenage life. The story is convincing and far from being random. The cast is diverse and definitely not in a try hard manner. It wasn't cringe or cliche and definitely broke a lot of sterotypes. I binged watched the whole show in one sitting and I'd definely say it was worth it and exceeded my expectations.
