Mindy Lahiri (Mindy Kaling) is an Obstetrician in her early 30s who hopes life turns out to be a lot like the rom coms she loved to watch as a kid.

This first episode had a solid but unspectacular start. We have flashbacks of Mindy finding romance but then gets dumped by her now ex for a Serbian woman with crooked teeth. Mindy still attends the wedding, gets drunk and makes an embarrassing speech.

In its heart, it is about a single woman looking for love. The main difference is, the star of the show is of East Indian origin. In some regards that is a breakthrough.

Kaling has a likeable appeal without getting too cutesy. The episode moves along at a fast pace but it was not that funny. It was also the kind of sitcom which seems to be proliferating American television. The young woman looking for the perfect man.

Trivia
While the character of Dr. Mindy Lahiri has the same job as Mindy Kaling's real life mother Swati (who sadly passed away on the same day her daughter was told by FOX that TMP was ordered for their schedule), Kaling has said that the character's personality and other details have nothing to do with what her mom was really like.

Quotes
Mindy Lahiri: Dear Lord, please let this date be good. May he have the wealth of Mayor Bloomberg, the personality of John Stewart, the face of Michael Fassbender... the penis of Michael Fassbender.
