If you’ve ever read this blog on more than one occasion, and if you have I thank you (and sorry again for all the typos), then you’ll be well aware that I am a strangely ambitious soul.
Despite knowing deep down that I don’t have a hope in hell of watching all the many amazing shows that flow onto streaming platforms like a neverending torrent of content goodness, I still keep a list of all the shows I want to watch and I tick them off on the list like getting to them, and finding the time to review them, is someone kind of magically wondrous achievement.
Which, in a way, I guess it is.
We all know none of us can ever watch all the TV shows we want to but the exciting thing is that we get to at least some of them, and we enjoy them and love them and they make life a whole lot richer and more fun.
Who knows if I will watch all three of these shows, though the odds are very good I will (I am nothing if not dementedly determined), but knowing they are there, and I can choose to watch them at some point, makes life feels just that little bit more possible.
And in amongst all the stress and disappointment that comes with being alive, knowing fun little things like this exist makes everything feel a whole lot better …

Never Have I Ever’s central conflict has always been the classic love triangle between Devi, Ben, and Paxton. Even though season 3 sees Devi breaking things off with Paxton and having a brief romance with Des, she’s still connected to the two boys throughout the season, which includes Paxton’s heartfelt graduation speech on everything Devi taught him.Even after that huge Ben cliffhanger, Fisher says that Paxton will still be in the picture in the final season. ‘The love triangle’s not done,’ she told EW. ‘In season 4, it continues onward. But I think the part that is done is seeing him as this unattainable dream of a hunk. He is no longer that, and they can be more like peers going forward.’ (courtesy Harpers Bazaar)
Never I Have Ever premieres its fourth and final season on 28 June on Netflix.
