An Indian-American teen navigates family, friends, and feelings with brisk, witty humor and heartwarming results.
Feel-good, with dry wit. A comfort watch at a brisk pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
Streaming on Netflix.
The thing to know: moderate sex and nudity, more than a TV-14 usually carries. Beyond that, some strong language and no real violence.
Our estimate: fine from about 16, higher than the TV-14 suggests, because of the sex and nudity.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
