I adore this show. It's truly fantastic and I'm sad I binged and there's none left! Addictive, funny, truthful. It's everything I've been looking for since girls went off the air. So worth the watch!
Big props to mindy Kaling.

Always looking for a good comedy, came to the show expecting a lot because it's Mindy Kaling. The show is well-written and current and I'm very happy the politics is gone, even if I am on the same team. You just can't get away from it for a second.
There are some stereotypes but that is the structure of comedy. The age of the actors is now distracting in season three but Amrit Kaur is the highlight of the show. She lights up the screen and, while an older actor, she acts like a college student. My partner and I were commenting that we would definitely watch anything else that she stars in.
The show has really found its footing in season three and we are happy to have stuck with it.

Liked the jokes and the chemistry. Id give it an 8 in terms of production quality. Was easily bingeable as only 22 mins per episode(from episode 2 onward) and theres end credits of a few mins giving 25 mins an episode. The pilot was longer at around 55 minutes.
The characters have great chemistry. Each character's lives is interesting. The structure is good. Its well filmed. High production quality. You are genuinely invested in the characters.
Standout character is definitely the indian girl, Bela, played by Amrit kaur. She is funny and steals every scene. The character is basically a sex-addict ironically coming from a conservative indian background. Indian audiences in the west will find this funny.

It becomes immediately apparent that Amrit Kaur has great comedic talent. Hope to see her in more shows. Lots of good characters and actors playing those characters, but it's Kaur that stands out.
The first season was funny, edgy, risque, and overall great! Easy to binge. No spoilers here - all I can say is enjoy!
The second season was undistinguished - like a run of the mill sit-com. Not premium channel worthy. The show lost its punch. Additionally, the plots and subplots were not as well developed as they were in the first season.
If there is a third season, I hope the writers revert back to first season form.

It reminds me so much of sex education, not to bring up a debate on which is better because you should be able to like both shows but of course it's hard not to compare with similar titles. I'd say this is more like a sitcom version to sex education. Everything that happens in the show seems like a genuine representation of what happens in real life, but sometimes the dialogue seems short lived so you move on from it quickly, but that's understandable considering the runtime is only 30 minutes. I think it's a "surface show", despite addressing sensitive issues you can watch it without turning your brain on and have a laugh because it doesn't delve deeply into them.
Despite the bad things that happen or characters go through, it still keeps an optimistic vibe, like it's a happy show. Depressing feels like a strong word for this but it doesn't get depressing; it's not a show were the characters get sad then you get sad too. The characters are lovable, so is the soundtrack. My only problem, which isn't a big one, is it feels written, it doesn't get you immersed in the show, you don't get lost in it, like as you're watching the show you actually do know you're watching the show consciously and subconsciously, and usually shows like that don't leave a lasting impression. I've never been able to properly explain this but sometimes you'll thoroughly enjoy the show then forget about it until you hear a new season's coming out soon and get excited like oh that show, I loved that show.
Buttt it's very promising, it's the type of show that could become a fan favorite if it went on for 7+ seasons and still managed to be funny all the way, like a new era of sitcoms the way the 90's or early 2000's were, without trying to be an imitation or new version of them. Unfortunately, shows easily get canceled these days if they aren't doing crazy numbers so I hope it doesn't fall into the same fate.

- TriviaThough Essex College is fictional, it bears some resemblance to showrunner Mindy Kaling's prestigious Ivy League alma mater, Dartmouth College (Essex is supposed to be in Vermont, while Dartmouth is in Hanover, New Hampshire--a town on the border with Vermont). "Dartmouth" and "Essex" are both place names in southern England. Filming locations representing Essex College varied over the show's first two seasons. Many first season Essex locations were filmed at Vassar College, a private liberal arts college in Poughkeepsie, New York. Season two college scenes were filmed at the University of Washington in Seattle and the University of California-Los Angeles.
