'Nerds are not only the wallflowers and the quiet ones.' –mindykaling
provides a more nuanced depiction of nerdy, high-achieving teens, particularly ones that are young women of color with their own set of ambitions and insecurities.
Who better to depict this layered reality than a woman who grew up wrestling with wants that sometimes felt at odds with her Indian heritage and very American interests and pursuits — a studious, first-generation Indian American teenage girl? Still, while the show certainly draws inspiration from Mindy’s personal experiences,follows a decidedly unique story arc with Devi, a 15-year-old Indian American girl striving and surviving in the wake of her father’s death.
While Devi’s at once an overachieving, high school sophomore, there’s an impatience with her classmates, her teachers—with anything keeping her from her goals—that bubbles just beneath the surface. The adolescent neither compromises her relentless pursuit of academic success nor her desire to have sex for the first time with class hottie Paxton. Despite a lighthearted and sometimes chaotic approach, her hunger for both is palpable.
