The Mindy Project

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!

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.

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.

The pilot episode had a few laughs but was underwhelming. That has changed with episode two where all the actors seems to have found their footing and the episode was very funny. Mindy's writing is sharp and if you like the humour on the Office, you should like this new series as well.

The supporting cast is pretty good as well, particularly Chris Messina whose susceptibility to irritation blends well with non stop chatter that is Mindy. There are swipes at the overemphasis of being politically correct in the workplace (just like in the Office), which makes for witty lines.
