- Abstract:
- This short note demonstrates how the hit Neftlix comedy, _Never Have I Ever_, created by Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher and starring Maitreyi Ramakrishnan as Devi Vishwakumar, "wittily extends and conforms to the popular conventions of high-school streaming television–including an obligatory episode that subtly appropriates _Romeo and Juliet._"
- Notes:
- This is the pre-print version of a Note currently under review at a Shakespeare journal. Includes a screen-capture of Maitreyi Ramakrishnan (as Devi Vishwakumar) in her bedroom, reading a copy of Shakespeare's _Romeo and Juliet_.
