The Mindy Project Season 1 Reviews

“The Mindy Project is one of the freshest sitcoms to emerge on network television in recent memory. Its creator and star, Mindy Kaling, is a true original, playing around with romantic-comedy tropes while building an involving, consistently hilarious cast of characters that you can laugh with and become invested in. The writing is smart and the wit sharp, but the show also gets it right when it flips between other extremes. The occasional gross-out gag lands just as well as the deeper emotional moments. In short, The Mindy Project: Season One is a funny, honest take on contemporary dating and city living. Highly Recommended.” DVD Talk

“If laughter is the best medicine, Kaling is one helluva healer. This ranks among the best new comedies of the season.” Chicago Sun Times

“Mindy Kaling segues effortlessly from the time she’s logged at NBC’s dwindling “The Office” as a writer and ensemble player to her big chance at creating and starring in her own show. In her new gig, she scores all 5’s on her employee evaluation. Everything about “The Mindy Project” is so very Kaling and happily spot-on, starting with the strength of the jokes and dialogue. Drawing a bit from the tales she shared in her best-selling memoir, the fictional Mindy is a self-aware but also neurotic central character — a good Indian daughter who went to medical school and became an OB-GYN, even though all she ever really wanted to do was splay on the couch and watch Nora Ephron-style rom-com movies from the 1990s. In a moment of self-loathing, she resolves to undertake a “Mindy project” of renewed discipline, revamping her social life and choices in men. It’s a losing proposition, but a winning show.” Grade: A- The Washington Post
