Never Have I Ever (2020)

The series positively portrays LGBTQ+ themes through Fabiola Torres's character arc. Her journey of coming out as a lesbian, navigating relationships, and finding acceptance from friends and family is depicted with empathy and nuance, affirming queer identity within a mainstream teen narrative.

The series portrays Hinduism as a central aspect of Devi's family identity and cultural heritage. While Devi, as a second-generation immigrant, sometimes struggles with or rebels against traditional practices, the narrative consistently depicts the faith, its rituals, and its community with respect, nuance, and as a source of comfort and strength for her mother and cousin. The show explores the complexities of cultural assimilation without undermining the dignity of the religion.
