Kaling was in No Strings Attached, The Morning Show and The Night Before, acted and wrote Late Night. Was a writer on the US The Office. Lang would have worked with her on The Mindy Project.
Maitreyi Ramakrishnan is our teenaged heroine Devi, her widowed mother Poorna Jagannathan, school friends Lee Rodriguez and Ramona Young, glamorous cousin Richa Moorjani. Crush Darren Barnet, school antagonist Jaren Lewison. Teacher Adam Shapiro, principal Cocoa Brown, analyst Niecy Nash. And of course how could I forget the narrator - John McEnroe.
Devi's dad has died in the middle of a concert recital, thus the analyst. She and her school friends strive to be 'cool'. Most enjoyable 30 minute shows (well, somewhere between 22 and 29 minutes) for Netflix from Universal television.
