Mindy Lahiri is a successful, skilled doctor, but when she leaves the office, all bets are off. She aspires to become a more well-rounded woman, someone who is punctual, frugal and well-read instead of someone who is obsessed with romantic comedies and likely to give an inappropriate toast at a wedding. Despite stumbles, Mindy remains determined to get her personal and romantic life on track -- before her friends and colleagues are forced to stage an intervention -- and find her perfect happy ending.

Like its charming-yet-flawed protagonist, there are many things to love about this show (and a few things to just tolerate because, hey, it's generally likable and it's trying hard and everyone deserves a little slack now and then, right?).

The pilot alone is a gem, introducing us to the pathetic in love, great at her job ob-gyn named Mindy Lahiri. From the beginning, Kaling draws on that typical rom-com trope, but she tweaks it by making Mindy's professionalism an undeniably good quality.

And that's how it's done. After a weak beginning, The Mindy Project showed us how off-beat, smart comedies can deliver. Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch Processed Media 02/20/2020

The biggest problem with The Mindy Project is simple: Mindy. Go to Full Review Terence Johnson AwardsCircuit.com 08/27/2018
2.5/4
Kaling's strength of delivering human characters and dialog is pretty good, but due to the lightness of the show I didn't feel like anything in the show had real stakes or consequences. Go to Full Review Lisa-Marie Ferla The Arts Desk 07/23/2018
However, it does so with enough charm and such plentiful laughs - not to mention Le Tigre on the soundtrack - that I think I might just have found my new favourite US import. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

08/07/2016 When you feel like you have hit the low, this show will get your confidence back. Mindy is charming and funny and the chemistry with Daniel is great. The rest of the characters although not very impressive work well as a whole. Ulitmate feel good show See more 10/02/2014 I can't believe how often this show makes me laugh. I started watching this after season 3 came out because it never looked that great to me. The Mindy Project is one of funniest shows I have seen in a while. See more 12/03/2013 Sometimes charming, sometimes nothing. The Mindy Project started with a 4 episode streak (being great and funny) But, sadly, stopped as the 5th episode came along. Thank god for the great season finale. See more Read all reviews
