100% agree with Devi and her points! and team paxton. I feel like they both made each other grow and were good for each other. Plus the most iconic moments of this show are from them. Ill never forget the window kiss scene with the soundtrack. So glad she said that and i feel validated.
Agreed! Devi even remembers what he said and took it to heart "we can't be together till you love yourself" She grew alot and Paxton grew alot and they actually have a friendship that was healthy- like the basketball dude said to Ben you should be confused or spinning and dizzy by the person you like- the relationship should only add to you not take away and Paxton and devi added to each other bc they for once were okay in their own
I used to really like Ben for Devi, because of him driving her to to beach in earlier season. But after Paxton forgave Devi, I became team Paxton because I felt like that is very essential to make a relationship last. And although the previous season, I feel bad that Paxton and Devi broke up, but I agree about Paxton’s reason. They both needed to grow, and this season, I find them more suitable for each other, and I wanted them to get back together. They added more to each other and made each other better. With Ben, I feel like it was an honest love and that used to make me feel okay if Ben will end up with her, but honestly, I didn’t feel any connection between them this season, it felt more like a real and honest friendship and that’s it. I actually liked Ben with Margot. I feel like she was who Ben needed. Ben was right about him being with Devi makes things more complicated than it should be. With Paxton, I feel like it was more grounded and mature now that Devi had matured, and Paxton did, too. I feel organically, their characters journey calls for Devi ending up with Paxton. It just made more sense. I feel like Devi ending up with Ben made more sense seasons ago.
@Coleen Hernandez I'd also like to add that if she had stayed waitlisted, just to show not everything goes your way and just because she didn't make an ivy league doesn't mean it's the end of the world- she would have needed a school to go and I feel like she could have applied to ASU and obviously got accepted for spring just so she doesn't fall to far behind and then said she'd reapply next fall her and Paxton could have vibed.
I need more of never have i ever....i don't want it to end.
frr
I swear this cant be the last season
Same
Sameee
sameee
This can't be the last season, man. Wanna see their college lives and how they all evolve and pursue their dreams . Plus, Kamala And Manish's wedding would be a treat to watch. And Nalini - Andres's relationship too, I ship 😍
Sameee I feel like they should show their college lives at least and then end it when they graduate from college i would be more satisfied with that kind of ending, oh well still pretty good ending, I also wished they could have shown a bit more of Ben and Davi in a relationship!
i was so sad that the only time we saw manish in the entirety of season 4 was that tiny clip of him and kamila in maryland at the very end. i kinda wonder why he wasn't in tho...
@@bones8273 yes I felt the same too. Pati and manish's scenes were soo fun to watch in the 3rd season 🥺
@@Jess-ru8lf exactly. However the ending is good but it would be better if they add another season... Or maybe 5-6 more seasons honestly I wouldn't mind🙂because it's the only series I've watched throughout till the end and never felt bored 😂
@@nidhidwivedi22 yes I would love more seasons too, but I’m probably just going to rewatch it again 😂
We’re all really going to pretend like it wasn’t always Ben. The writing was on the wall, people. 🤦🏼♀️ 😂
fr!! it was never a competition and all of devi's friends knew she liked him more than paxton 😭
yeeesssss
Ikr
It’s bc Mindy Kaling is utterly predictable
for real because when they did the thing comparing ben and paxton ben had more pros than paxton devi only chose Paxton because her friends and she thought he was more attractive
JUSTICE FOR PAXTON
Pls and thank you very much for this factual comment ❤❤❤ i love you for that
I know some will disagree with me but I scenes with Ben & Devi did not overall pull me in unlike the scenes with her Paxton. Like the scene with her & Paxton were magnetic regardless of the amount of dialogue in the scene. If feel like there is something missing when it comes to scenes with Ben & Devi. Like I like Her & Ben as friends but I don't them in the romantic sense.
@@edabella143 wait thats kinda true but i love ben and devi😭
@@MariaHernandez-eg3pr and i love you for loving ben and davi
I feel like they didn't develop Ben's character as much as Paxton's and also he looks childish in the series whereas in real he looks amazing as a man.
Why would mindy and lang choose Ben and then do Paxton like that, they could at least gave us more scenes of them since it was the last season 😭
IK OMG i am usually team ben and then sometimes slip into paxton but that one moment they had in the locked equipment room thing where he was like "nah devi you're too good for me" and they kissed i was like NOPE 100% TEAM PAXTON like i love ben and devi but daxton deserved better😭
@@MariaHernandez-eg3pr righttt I just feel like the relationship had wasted potential 😭
I just wish Paxton didn't date someone he works with, I wanted him to be single and discover himself more. I don't know.

@@MariaHernandez-eg3pr OMG i am team Ben it doesnt mean Paxton didnt give potential to Devi but Ben was always there whenever Devi needed him like about her fathers ashes or pushing her to Princeton every time he make her do best for herself I didn't saw Paxton pushing her for good that doesn't mean I hate paxton I like him too but I am happy about the endgame and wishes I get more Benvi timeline
WE WERE ROBBED OF DAXTON, HE WAS ROBBED OF SCREEN TIME 💔💔💔
😭😭
😭
Exactly ☹️☹️
THAT ONE SCENE IN THE EQUIPMENT ROOM>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
YOU SAID IT 😭😭😭😭😭
They wasted the opportunity and chemistry of Devi and Paxton.
Maitreyi is giving a different answer to Team Paxton vs Team Ben in every interview lmaooo she’s trolling us
True, a few months ago she was team Ben and now she's tem Paxton XD. Also she was team Ben on the red carpet so literally a few days ago
it’s so confusing LMAO
@@yunglorn and in another interview where she had to comment about all of Devi's love interest she said that she was team Des because she would have loved a brown person for him.
both ben and paxton got the ending they were always meant to have from the start:,)
I get it that why should Devi end up with ben because ben is more emotionally connect with devi and also did not move on from her even having a girlfriends
ben was such a red time at times
@@kalixia8186 true i was like "since when did he become such a fuckboy" but luckily he revived himself at the wedding lmao
love LOVE the last episode. everyone got their justice and their happy ending
I cried
except Aneesa
Paxton didn't got enough screentime .💔💔
The only scene i remember is Devi n Pax with the back ground song FIRE FOR U of season 1
It's always Pax pax pax pax pax 100%
Also that song Heatwave was playing when they kissed. Love that song.
@@millasuini8307 sameee the rain, heatwaves, him going through the window! that scene is still stuck in my head
If the content creator really wanted Romance ,it would have been Devi n Pax.......
This season was SO GOOD!! ♥️♥️♥️ I was either in LOL or crying mode multiple times in an episode. What a gem of a show.
Sorry but #TeamBen
don't need to be sorry, they were meant to be together❤
me too!
TEAMM PAXTON!!! :(((
It makes no sense Devi and Paxton didn't end up together. I mean, I understand how it happened but when you weigh everything they went through together and the development they had separately... They should have ended up together. I feel like someone just wanted to fulfill the enemy to lovers fantasy through Devi and Ben.
I totally agree with you!!

I just finished, no spoilers, but did the writers just forget about Aneesa and her whole plotline?? She pretty much just disappeared...
I WAS THINKING THIS! she was pretty big in the friend group in season 3 and was left out in season 4
@@mekaylafoy3441pretty sure the actress had other projects..
yea i feel like they could’ve mentioned her going away or something instead of flat out ignoring her
aneesa was a spunky friend. pity we saw so little of her❤
Paxton deserve more screen time and if they don't want devi and paxton to be end game then why did they show all of us that last kiss and give all of us false hopes that kiss is not necessary 🥴 so Devi is that type of person who can kiss him after having emotional talking and still not feelings for him wow 👏
IKKKKKK
the series had the best ending was epic and comforting I love you devi and ben
Thank you, Maitreyi! I'm not necessarily against Ben and Devi's relationship. And yes, I also still do like the last season and Ben's character a lot. But I won't deny that I'm tired that the toxic enemies to lovers trope gets perpetuated through the show.
Everyone who says "Team Ben from the beginning" and who is romanticizing their interactions in the first season needs to grow a little. Did you not watch the first ~3 min of "He is just not that into you"? Enemies to lovers sets bad standards, and rarely ever happens in real life. I know the idea is romantic that you can fundamentally misjudge somebody at first and that there's something there that you didn't see before. But it's the exception in reality, not the norm.
It kinda works with NHIE because it's a tiny bit more like Pride & Prejudice in that Devi and Ben grow into becoming better people, they grow into a healthier relationship over a couple of years throughout the show. But they are also really, really young. 💁♀️
Maitreyi is trolling us. 😭
We needed more of Kamala and Manish. It was just a little walk eating ice creams at the end. 😢
OMG THE ENDING IS SO GOOD I STARTED CRYING TEAM BEN!
Team paxton😪😪❤️❤️🫶🫶
Team Ben
I love Maitreyi's voice so much, I could listen to her talk all day :D
Last season was horrible coz Paxton was missing in character
Ben was the underdog we were all rooting for!! Loved this perfect ending
Team Ben all the way
THANK YOU
Nooo
BEN ALL THE WAY
Team paxton❤️
paxton 100%
Team Paxton
PAXTON SHOULDVE BEEN ENDGAME
They may make another season and she said that there still could be hope for her and Paxton
Team Ben, but they kind of overdid it with the romance IMO. I'd like it more if he was more of a character than a romantic interest this season.
OTOH Paxton did great as a character in S4 and I kind of agree with this "better as friends" angle. The fact that Darren is over 30 and looks it and Maitreyi is a teenager and also looks like it, adds to it too.
TEAM PAXTON AS SHE SOULD BE!!
She said she was team ben on a TikTok interview 😂😂 I saw it 2 days ago
Team Ben all the way....
I LOVE HOW SHE'S TEAM DAXTON TOO
i heard it’s gonna be the last season but they why did joe at the end say signing off for now ??
It is the last season.
that’s what i thought, but then they keep saying it’s the last season. so maybe they are gonna do a different show related to it. like how they did “to all the boys i’ve loved before” and “xo kitty”
@@kasi011 i hope so i honestly just wanna see their college life’s lol
Team paxton😭❤
JUST FINISHED THE SEASON!!! I WAS ALWAYS TEAM BEVI SINCE DAY ONE ❤❤❤
TEAM BEN SINCE DAY 1 EEEEEEEEEK
I’m sorry to say this but devi and ben was so rushed it was so fast the ending just made me so confused?
it was always ben 🫶🏽
TEAM BEN DAY 1
I've always been into Ben 😍
Oh man, I could easily be persuaded to be on either team. But I think ultimately I'm team Ben. I think David idolized Paxton for way too long, and no matter what she will always have Paxton on a pedestal. Ben, on the other hand, is someone she hated and unconsciously fell in love with because of their growth together. That's the end game right there.
Yesss maitreyi🫶🏽!!! I knew she was team Paxton, lang and mindy should of had her choose Paxton
She said she was team ben to so she on both teams .I saw comment on someone saying that she said it in a interview
Team Paxton 100%
woah darren barnet is so pretty wtf he’s like so majestic the whole time
I’m team Paxton too, but I think the writers will root to the cliche way where she ends up with Ben just because he is the unpopular guy, and that sucks.
Team ben from the start
yesss team paxton SHE IS SO REAL😂 IN MY HEAD THEY ARE ENDGAME
She team ben because I saw it on TikTok to so she on both sides
Team Ben …anyday
Loved the Ben Devi pairing ❤
I need a Spin-off of Devi and Ben when they both go off to college
Team Ben always. Never really like Paxton
I used to really like Ben for Devi, because of him driving her to to beach in earlier season. But after Paxton forgave Devi, I became team Paxton because I felt like that is very essential to make a relationship last. And although the previous season, I feel bad that Paxton and Devi broke up, but I agree about Paxton’s reason.

It just made more sense. I feel like Devi ending up with Ben made more sense seasons ago.
No Ben and Devi are way more compatible personality wise and make more sense long term bc of their similar futures. I doubt Devi would settle with a dumb jock who peaked in high school. I feel like she was obsessed with his looks and didn’t have the same emotional connection as Ben
@@Alexamaree I disagree. While it’s true that Ben and Devi also have a good friendship as a foundation (which is why I don’t mind them ending up together, just feel like Paxton would have been a better match imho and would have made more sense for me) and that most of their interests are the same, but compatibility aren’t always having the same interests. Sometimes, compatibility is about how you compliment each other - different enough that you challenge each other’s way of thinking and make them see another perspective different from their own, but with enough connection and understanding that you can both grow into your own person but not apart. The fact that Paxton was able to nudge Devi in the right mindset so she can move past her own hurt feelings and realize what’s the most important thing when she’s dealing with her issues with Fabiola shows how much they connect and understand each other now. And she might have started being interested in him because of his looks, but Paxton showed he’s more than just his looks and Devi came to see who he really is more than just his looks. And I won’t debate anymore with someone who calls Paxton “dumb” because he showed he can do better, if he worked hard on it. Plus, it’s not all about grades. He was able to guide someone to excel, which says a lot more about him than both Devi and Ben having high grades. Don’t get me wrong, I am not belittling what the hard work they did to get there, but life isn’t all about grades. It’s about making a lasting impact in someone else’s life, and I’d argue that Paxton may not be as smart as both Devi and Ben, but they both could learn a lot from Paxton about other things than are far more important in life especially after school - that they’re more than just their grades, and that grades aren’t the only basis of someone’s value. I think while Ben and Devi have the same personality, they are indeed toxic like Ben said and they make things more complicated than it has to be. For me, in my humble opinion, Ben and Margot had a mature connection, until things fell apart which felt so sudden and out of character. Ben and Devi together felt at times so chaotic. I don’t know, at some point, it feels like they could have made a better couple before Ben felt betrayed. After that, Paxton and Devi made a lot more sense for me, organically, with how I see their characters have developed after the two-timing incident.
I would go with team ben. I believe that she was more obsessed with Paxton looks than his personality. He didnt want anything to do with her in the beginning of their sex scene. Ben care deeply for her and i also believe ben looks better than Paxton
Ben loved Devi for all she was and that love was never shaken since season 1 no matter what he knew about Devi..but paxton only liked Devi because she was different and confident and pushed him not because he actually loved her..there wasnt that depth…ben unconditionally loves Devi and Devi is never gonna find someone like Ben…and ben is never gonna love someone more than he loves Devi…but paxton would…and Devi had an obsession with paxton just cause of looks it was not based in true love like ben’s love towards Devi was…and so that obsession comes from subconscious issues with Devi that she needed to heal and when she did she realised that she never really loved Paxton, and the only reason they stayed friends is because of all of the history and them actually supporting eachother and Devi helping Paxton etc…but if Devi never approached Paxton at all then after she healed she would’ve just never had Paxton in her life cause there would be reason too after she realized she does not actually love him and nothing actually happened between them for them to stay friends or anything…so nothing beats team ben…that kind of love is rare especially in high school for someone to love you and everything about you and no matter what flaws you think you have their love never wavers it only strengthens, that kind of love is once in a lifetime and so team Devi and ben for life and for sure they will stay together even after college and maybe for the rest of their lives..they might have fights or end up with different careers but they would always find their way back to each other because simply they would never be able to find that kind of love or forget it…Also Paxton and Devi were more of a karmic relationship like it existed just to teach them lessons about themselves so that they can heal quicker and that “romance” wasn’t really real because it was just there until they realised the lessons and healed after that the romance dissipated…and they remained friends which is the healthy ending to such relationships so that both can move on with pure hearts without starting another karmic cycle for themselves
I'm gonna rewatch the show from Season 1. It feels wrong to like a teen show as a 35 year old.
Pretty sure she has a crush on Darren
They can’t end it like that it at least have a nhie movie for them being out of college n Paxton n devi get together
Devi said that she was team ben on a TikTok im confused lol 😂😂 I saw it a few daus ago 😂
I love maitreyi so much
I kind of swipped swapped with Team ben vs Team paxton. Paxton had no depth in the beginning and was just hot and that was about it so I was team Ben. But then when Devi and Paxton actually started dating and the things he did for her, then I was definitely team paxton. But then after they broke up I went back to Team ben because they have so much more in common and really challenge each other academically and just in life in general.
Ben and Devi ending up together is my compensation for the way Angela and Brian could have been
Omg lee rodriguez is GORGEOUS
Does anyone know what dress she is wearing ?
Maitreyi the best❤😊
I didn’t like how Paxton ended up with some random ahh teacher. They didn’t even have much chemistry tbh
Ben and Devi ❤
I still wish it was team Ethan though he treated her so well
the last episode was so amazing!!!
"Devi taking a dump." Nearly took me out.
If I had to choose Paxton or Ben it would be Paxton but I like Ethan the best even though he stole the id but Devi could’ve thought him not to do that stuff and why is Jaren so far away from them
still will be forever team ben 💪💪💪
Sorry Ben but paxton is better looking 😅
I wishing Maitreyi could write the ending so daxton could be endgame😭
I feel like IRL a Paxton would never end up with a Devi, despite her epic gorgeousness! So why we couldn't have gotten that in this fantasy land of a fake TV show is BEYOND me! I mean Paxton GREW! He was far from just the pretty boy, stereotypical jock we met in season 1. And a good much of that was due to Devi's influence......the good & the tragic/chaotic/cringey energy that she brought into his life. I just think that us girl nerds should have been rewarded with living vicariously through Devi in the end. #Daxton (the finale never happened in my world).😉❤
Another Season with paxton And devi endgame
Noooooo. The ending was perfect as it was we don't need another season. I love the show but I don't want anyone to ruin benvi
@@ashleygarcia8095 benvi IS the worst both of them are good as Friends but bad as couple he Never stood UP for her when she IS Always in Big troubles it's was Paxton who pulled her from the pool who took her to hospital for coyote attack it was him who forgave her for cheating on him scandal And hit by a car Paxton truly loved her even when all his Friends didn't liké him going back to the girl who cheated he went And public for her And Season four when she felt sad she called him first one he IS Always there for her no matter what Always cared for her And their chemistry stronger but ben they are just two insecure smart students who likes to challenge each other
@@Rihem20233 ben literally let her stay in his house and he help her get her friends back and he drove her to Malibu even tho he couldn't drive and he stayed there to make sure she was okay and he literally went inside the girls restroom to make sure she was okay and this season he climbed in Devi window to make sure she was okay because he heard that she got rejected from all college and when she fell asleep he stayed there until the morning and he even said her from a college guy and he flew across the country to tell her how he feels and when she didn't how to put her outfit back on he help by getting on UA-cam.
@@ashleygarcia8095 lonely rich kid let her stay AT home he didn't do anything as much as Paxton because Paxton was there in every low moment when she felt the lowest walking by street he opened car door for her he pulled her from pool took her to hospital from coyote even in Season four she called him when she IS feeling so Bad he thought it's butt dial but no she wants him in her Bad moments
We all need to be talking about Lee Rodriquez' MAKEUP!!! OMG IT IS PERFECTIONNNN WOW
