Champions

As the show has gone on, the characters are becoming funnier especially the brother Matthew. He might be my favorite. I can definitely see Mindy's sense of humor which I enjoy and I'm glad the show has gotten better with each episode.

When I saw Anders, with a hard An from Workaholics was in a new show with Mindy of the Mindy Project I thought I had hit the jackpot but this show is a little lost and the child actor portraying a young homosexual Indian boy (played by Josie Totah) is unloveable and comes across as far too obnoxious and too much of a know-it-all.

Anders and Mindy are good in this and the supporting cast isn't bad either (I think I love Dana - played by Ginger Gonzaga) but the kid is irritable, comes across as very obnoxious and arrogant and simply isn't loveable. I think with a more loveable, less know-it-all homosexual child this could have been a good show and allowed for a lot more humour derived from that part. I understand what they were trying to do and the subject material does give them a lot of interesting story lines that other shows wouldn't be able to do and I would love to know what others thought but I just didn't like the child at any stage even after finishing the entire first (and likely only) series.

I have watched it all, and I really am confused. It seems to aim for the feminists with some of the jokes and then to the very opposite with some jokes, and I feel that it's very hard to find out who the characters really are, because of this - the continuity seems very far off sometimes. I finished it, but I must admit, I don't see how this show can get better, it is very wobbly.

And honestly, isn't the Mindblowingly Stupid Character-trope really overdone by now? I think this is where I leave this show, and honestly I have no idea who I would recommend it to.

After a wobbly start, this series is beginning to find its footing and actually be funny, while at the same time finding some heart.

It's done this by letting Michael actually be a kid, albeit a precocious one, and letting Vince actually exhibit some character growth. And by letting Matthew be Matthew. The humor relies less on glib one-liners and more on the situations they find themselves in.

But it sure took the writers/producers a while to figure this out and I fear they may have lost the audience.

It took a while for this show to find its footing, but once it has (by ep. 5), it's REALLY GOOD. It's one of the wittiest, smartly-written comedies around.

I don't understand how anyone can be annoyed with JJ Totah. What he's representing in this show means so much to a lot of people and he does so with infectious charm and energy.

I'm interested to find out the other characters' stories so I hope they get more than one season. Give it a shot, people.
