The Mindy Project

Mindy is funny and relatable. The show takes its ups and downs as does Mindy but that is how life is. Life is messy and relationships can be messy. The Mindy Project gets that. The last episode just really tied it all in and I loved it. I cried during the last episode..... watch it start to finish and you won't be disappointed.

I watched this show because I liked The Office US and I thought this would be kind of like a spinoff type thing. It's not like that at all.

I mean that in a good way of course. I think that the show had similarities to The Office US but to be honest I thought it was like an entirely different show.

The acting is brilliant, the story is quite sad but fun and it manages to be pretty good throughout the whole thing. I'm not saying it became really bad in the last few seasons because I feel like that would be a bit demeaning but it doesn't fall off at all.

I recommend this show for fans of The Office US, fans of Brooklyn 99, fans of Community and just fans of shows that shows that revolve around a woman.

I must admit, when I originally started to watch the show I had low expectations. Mainly because though I'd previously enjoyed Mindy Kaling's portrayal of Kelly Kapoor on The Office (US), I'd seen characters who are hilarious in supporting roles not be able to translate that humor into an entire show based around them as the lead character... I'm looking at you cast of Seinfeld. However, I was pleasantly surprised to be completely wrong in this case.

This really is a great show that doesn't take itself to seriously. Also, I thoroughly enjoy the soundtrack. But the dialogue is where it's at... I'm actively working to make my friends converts for the show so I can start quoting it more... "We get it, you're smarter than us because you read the newspaper" -- it's like Mindy read my mind, people who read the news are just the worst, surpassed only by morning people.

Ma', Ma', MAAA'... I'm at season three at Danny's character is so off-putting. I hope this changes until the end of the show because they ruined a perfectly good thing and Mindy's acceptance of such a person is totally off her brand (at least the one which was established in first two seasons). Also his hypocritical catholic moral vertical which he doesn't live by is annoying.

"Oh Nellie" is irritating and "exqueeze me" is not a great catch phrase.

That's it, that's the rant. Pardon, review.

Supporting characters are great. And "first off all, how dare you" is a nice reminder why we love Mindy. :) But she dropped the ball here.

A quick review after the beginning of the 3rd season.

"The Mindy Project" is a very enjoyable, painless, quirky comedy.

It's about a ...colleague of mine...Dr. Mindy Lahiri and her relationships in modern New York City.

The script is usually very good. The jokes and some one-liners make you laugh effortlessly. Some physical humor is also present. Overall a comedy which is enjoyable and fresh.

A major plus the absence of a "fake laugh track". I don't know about you but I don't like comedies that are trying to tell me WHEN to laugh.

Watch it and it will make your mood!
