i LOVED the first couple of seasons of mindy... i had rated it a 9/10... then there were a couple of mediocre seasons that still were fine, but the last 2 were lame.

not funny, characters acting like caricatures of themselves, the same jokes... with extra weird right wing political moments thrown in here and there, characters added and taken away all over the place, and the final season - which i get was trying to wrap everything up tidily - was a rushed, predictable snooze-fest. i would rate the last 2 seasons a 3 or 4 out of 10.

so i'm balancing it out to a 6.

follow the advice - watch the early seasons then STOP. don't ruin it for yourself...

Okay, she is the main character, BUT she is so full of herself, the world revolves around her, the way she treats others is not funny it's just bitchy. Gave it a shot, but after 6 episodes I'd rather watch the laundry dry. Some very good supporting characters, they deserve the 6 stars...

I only recently discovered this show (yes I'm late to the party) There are some laugh out loud moments and I enjoy most of the characters humour but some things bug me about this programme. Firstly, yes, Mindy is confident but no one would EVER act like her in real life or be as boisterous as she is. After a while, all the characters do become over exaggerated. It gets a bit much and tedious. Secondly, there's way too much focus on Mindy's love life, she literally jumps from one guy to the next which again is totally unrealistic. She just seems to randomly meets a guy and they are straight away into her. Thirdly, I heard the show was criticised for having her only date white men which they tried to rectify in Season 4 by having her date an Indian man and a black man. There was also criticism that she doesn't address her ethnic roots which again they try to rectify in season 4. Fourth, where the heck did Betsy, Shauna and Mindy's girl gang from season 1 go? They all simply disappeared with no explanation. They try to make up for the lack of female cast by giving Mindy two new besties Whitney and Chelsea. I also find the jokes about Mindy's appearance not funny. This is a running joke which gets a bit much after a while. Having said all that, I do enjoy this show especially up to season 3. It's witty and makes you laugh. Enjoy if you can overlook my slight criticisms!

I happily binge-watched the first few seasons. I was skeptic at first, what with a former Supporting actress from 'The Office' taking on a lead role in a TV series, but I was impressed.

I would recommend new viewers to go in with an open mind and would advise them not to get too attached to characters - this series chews through characters as fast as Game of Thrones. Characters either disappear with grandeur via their own story arcs, or as crude and viciously as post-season layoffs with no in-script explanation.

SPOILER WARNING.

After the first few seasons (I think I'm in Season 4) the show becomes rather dull and lifeless. The writers broke RomCom code and gave the main character, Mindy, a child and long-term boyfriend/husband. So you can safely drop the 'Romantic' tag from the movies genre listings.

The first 3 seasons of this show are hilarious, smart and witty, everything Mindy Kaling is known for. About midway through the third season, she does get everything she's wanted and the show seems to have lost a lot of momentum. A lot of the supporting characters such as Mindy's best friends and office workers also disappear. It's still funny after season 3 just not as good.

As an Indian American woman, I was excited to see an Indian female lead at the time. I got through 2 seasons before I gave up. The show started Ok and then careened into unwatchable for me. What Dr. Talks like a 7 year old and acts like she's 13? There was a revolving door of supporting cast and somehow every guy she came in contact with fell in love with her. I don't feel that Mindy wanted to share the stage with her cast members and then the storylines became increasingly annoying.

The started off well... but then it become shallow, offensive and full of crappy jokes. Mindy ending up with Danny at the end, supports gaslight and abusive domestic behaviour. Never though Mindy kaling can produce such oppressive show. Don't waste your time.
