Sep 14, 2012

Everything about The Mindy Project is so very Kaling and happily spot-on, starting with the strength of the jokes and dialogue. Read full review

Alan Sepinwall

Sep 24, 2012

Overall, The Mindy Project is a comedy that arrives knowing what it wants to be and what kinds of stories and jokes it wants to tell. Read full review

David Hiltbrand

Sep 25, 2012

Like The Office, The Mindy Project trades deftly on the humor of excruciating awkwardness. Read full review

Brian Lowry

There are enough winning moments here to come back for an encore. Read full review

Matt Zoller Seitz

Sep 25, 2012

The show's antic energy and aggressively kooky heroine may not hit everyone's sweet spot, but the pilot is a brisk, confident piece of work, made by people with a clear vision. Read full review

David Hinckley

Sep 25, 2012

Even by the notoriously uneven standards of sitcoms, The Mindy Project takes precipitous swings from fresh and clever insights to the most predictable "Oh, girl, don't go there" setups. Read full review

Glenn Garvin

Think Gray's Anatomy with unpretty people; then think of something else to watch. Read full review

If you love Kaling, you'll definitely love this show. The writing and the cast on this show is above par and provides the viewer with a nice, giggly feeling after watching an episode. If you love shows like New Girl and Happy Endings, this is the show for you.

Fantastic show for a comedy. It's sad to see how many people can't see past her skin color or their prejudice based on it (not racist, prejudiced). I couldn't get into it the first time I discovered this show, but I soon got hooked the second time around. People love other comedies withFantastic show for a comedy. It's sad to see how many people can't see past her skin color or their prejudice based on it (not racist, prejudiced). I couldn't get into it the first time I discovered this show, but I soon got hooked the second time around. People love other comedies with ridiculous jokes, offensive even. Why not The Mindy Project? Anonymity provided by Internet reveals people's thoughts and actions if there were no consequences.… Expand

Mindy Kaling is just amazing! I love her character, her acting, and the writing for this show. I was so happy that Hulu picked up the show for hopefully many more seasons! A must see!

I was really entertained by this show - the dialogue was fast and clever, the characters were complex, and the plot was believable. I really enjoyed all the honest, embarrassing moments. Plus, the show was able to keep an upbeat tone regardless of the funny but unfortunate events. Can't ask for more from a comedy. I'll keep watching.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Originally, The Mindy Project was about a woman obsessed with finding love because of all the romantic movies she watches. Now, Mindy is high-maintenance and difficult. This "new" Mindy is getting old. The current season has me wondering "where is this show going?"… Expand

I’m not sure I’ve ever watched such an uneven show all the way through to the end before. In the beginning, the genuinely laugh out loud funny kept me tuning in.

In the beginning, the genuinely laugh out loud funny kept me tuning in. But the more out of touch Mindy got, the more difficult this show was to watch. The last two seasons in particular were downright painful to watch some episodes. Then there would be others that were so smart and funny. Just zero consistency at all. Poignant and moving to cliche in 60 seconds or less.… Expand

I think the rating for this show should be 10/10. It's not only genius, but it's inspiring and hilarious! This show not only encouraged me that everyone has their special someone - it also told me that sometimes finding the one, takes time and effort- and isn't always easy. Self worth wasI think the rating for this show should be 10/10. It's not only genius, but it's inspiring and hilarious! This show not only encouraged me that everyone has their special someone - it also told me that sometimes finding the one, takes time and effort- and isn't always easy. Self worth was also one of the things i picked up from this show. Mindy dressed up in interesting and original clothing and she is happy for who she is. Hands down, this is my favorite show. I hope Mindy and the gang do a reunion episode. I love love love it.… Expand
