Season 1 of Mind the Malhotras is a very good watch, especially for audience in the 30+ age group. It is a light hearted, subtle humour that relies heavily on the performances of lead actors and overall characterisation. Now, a subtle humour is not everyone's cup of tea. Do not expect jokes that are loud or literally in your face. Each episode in Season 1 has a little bit of theme and how the various characters get about that theme. Definitely a good watch.
Season 2 however is completely messed up. It runs into the standard Season 2 greed where the makers try to create a larger canvas, more characters, bigger themes. But the basic essence of the show is lost in the process. A light hearted comedy is not the place to preach people about premarital sex, teenage pregnancy, gay marriages, lesbian relationships and love stories of senior citizens. I am not against these topics but Mind the Malhotras is way too subtle to take up such topics. Also, the first and last episodes of Season 2 are simply unwatchable. I hope the makers of the show do not make these mistakes in Season 3 (whenever that comes). In short, Season 2 is completely and totally avoidable.
