The Mindy Project

I'm surprised the ratings aren't a little higher for "The Mindy Project" - with a lot of the crap out there, "The Mindy Project" is refreshingly quite funny. The characters are quirky, and I have a smile on my face pretty much the whole time I am watching the show. It's a nice break from all the drama filled teenage/girls/vampire shows that seem to be all the rave right now.

This a light fun filled comedy, that i'd compare to "Parks and Rec" and "The Office." So if you like those shows then you'll probably like this one as well.

It's about a young doctor who is living similar lives to many woman in their earlier 30's. Can't find someone to settle down with but has a career and a nice friend base at her office. She's surrounded by characters who are mostly in the same boat as her.

The show is fast paced and filed with nutty dialogue and makes for a perfect show to watch during lunch, or if you need a break from hectic life.

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.

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.

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.

The side characters can be funny, especially Ike Barinholtz's character, but essentially if you don't think you can grow to love Mindy as the flawed and often self-centred protagonist (basically a more developed "Kelly" from the Office) you probably won't enjoy this show.
