Best character
I gave this title to Devi for the first episode and I have to do it again purely because of the ‘peace out virgin’ line.

Devi reading After at the start of the episode is just too funny. I’ve never read the officially published version.
The girl’s researching how to have sex is probably one of the funniest parts of this season. Never did it myself but I reckon at least one teenager has done that before.
Best quotes and one liners
DEVI: Now I want to talk about a major event that could happen this week! Popping my cherry, Doc.
DR RYAN: Oh, lord.
DEVI: The statistical odds that I would lose my virginity to somebody that hot are incredibly low. I ran the numbers with Fabiola. I have a better chance of being hit by a meteor.
DR RYAN: I know. I got your Excel spreadsheet.
DEVI: We could talk about my dead dad any time. I’m in a very specific window right now. I’m ready to bone.
DR RYAN: If you were ready to bone, you wouldn’t use the phrase “ready to bone.”
NALINI: Kamala, his family wants to see that you can cook, clean, and cater to their son’s needs. They basically want him to marry his own mother.
KAMALA: That sounds sexually confusing.
NALINI: Turn on the AC? There are people in Siberia who’d kill to be this hot.
BEN: Devi, the only person you’re seeing is your therapist, because you went straight-up psycho and couldn’t walk for three months.
DEVI: Oh, yeah? Well, I won’t be able to walk again tomorrow, because I’m about to go get railed. Peace out, virgin.
DEVI: Okay, Devi. You can do this. You can do sеx. It’s like riding a bike… except the bike is a man.
DEVI: So, here we are… about to pleasure each other. But before I can rock your world, I need to freshen up. Can you point me in the direction of the ladies’ room? I wouldn’t wanna pee in the middle of doing it.
PAXTON: Yeah, that’d be bad.
Final thoughts and fun facts
I’m not sure what the laws are in America, but in the UK you can’t legally have sex until you are 16. Devi is only 15 right? And Paxton is a year older so that’s really not great. Good job they don’t actually go through with it.
