Champions

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.

First show was very good. I like the cast. But the second show was not as good. I can't imagine a smart kid like that leaving the water running full blast while he reads a magazine, box of cereal emptied on the table. Not believable that that his mom would allow such behavior as well. And the writers are making this kid look way too ungrateful. It made me sympathize with the dad and hate the ungrateful kid. I hope the kid learns gratitude. If I can't root for the kid I think it defeats the purpose of the show. So far he is very unlikable and I would ban him from my apt and not feel a bit guilty. The writing needs more subtly to make if more believable. I think this show has potential but for now.It lacks "heart"..

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.

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.

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.
