Netflix users are issuing a complaint about the new season of Never Have I Ever.

The coming-of-age teen series, created by Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher, returned for a fourth and final run earlier this week, and fans have been tearing through the episodes to see how the story ends.

Never Have I Ever follows Devi Vishwakumar (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan), an Indian-American high school student after her father suddenly passes away.

While the final season is receiving praise from most fans, there is a contingent who are angry with the treatment of one character: Megan Suri’s Aneesa Qureshi.

Suri joined the show for its second season, swiftly becoming a fan favourite. However, viewers are confused as to what happened with her character in the final run as her screen time was drastically reduced.

“I loved Never Have I Ever szn4 so muchhh ughhh just that i was hoping Aneesa could get more screentime,” one fan complained, with another asking: “Why did Aneesa only have three lines in season four of Never Have I Ever?”

Elsewhere, another fan wrote: “Where is Aneesa in season 4 of Never Have I Ever? Enjoyed the season but definitely missed her.”

Fans also had the same response about the character of Ethan (Michael Cimino), who was introduced as a new love interest in the final season.

However, as the season progressed, he seemingly “disappeared” from the main action.
