"The Mindy Project" is a biting new single-camera comedy from Emmy Award-nominated writer/producer and New York Times best-selling author Mindy Kaling ("The Office") that follows a woman who, despite having a successful career, is unlucky in love and desperately needs to get her personal life back on track before her friends and colleagues are forced to stage an intervention.

This show is funny, unique and fresh which is why I continue watching it. The one thing it lacks is any kind of character progress or depth in its supporting cast. The show focuses on mindy and danny so much the writers forget to follow up on character growth or continue storylines with anyone else. I feel like if they started spending time creating better stories for everyone else I would be addicted and more invested in this show. They might want to take some pointers from whoever created Scrubs...

Very funny, the lead character needs flashes of brilliance in her job to offset her struggles in personal life. Drop Dead Diva and Big Bang for instance, hey if the format works. Too different maybe artsy but may not sale.

Can't get rid of this from my phone. After I uninstall it installs itself right back on my phone taking up needed space in my internal mem. Keep getting low on space notification, slows my phone down. After its watched or if someone doesn't want it we should be able to uninstall it!
