(See: Danny on T he Mindy Project and Ryan on The Office.) But Kaling is a master at proving that even assholes can be lovable. For one, he's a huge jerk at the outset of the show! I mean, he's responsible for branding Devi and her friend Eleanor and Fabiola the "UN," which stands for "unfuckable nerds." He can't stop bragging about his dad's famous clients. Netflixīen is definitely the more complicated case to make. He is justified in being pissed off that she basically calls him dumb, but he holds that against Devi, which doesn't speak too highly of him. Really, is there anything wrong with Paxton? Well, he's certainly not the brightest bulb around, and his insecurity about his smarts, especially compared with Devi's, emerges when her mom insults him to his face. Still, he doesn't seem to hold it against her all that much when she lies to the whole school about sleeping with him, so that's a pro. He comes to her rescue after a drunken incident with a coyote, and even posts an Instagram with her to his main(!) feed(!), but still seems to keep her mainly in pal territory. He picks her to be on a team for a class project, but then reveals it's mainly because he knows she'll help him get a good grade. After brazenly asking if he'll have sex with her in the pilot and then backing out last minute, Devi develops a friendly-flirty rapport with him that's hard to interpret. But, naturally, there's more to him than just being hot. ![]() Devi is initially drawn to Paxton for this reason and this reason only. Played by (the actually 29-year-old) Darren Barnet, Paxton flaunts six-pack abs and has cheekbones that could cut a steak. ![]() Obviously, he has a lot going for him in the looks department.
