The Mindy Project

As people should know, not all TV is amazing all the time. The Mindy Project is a perfect example of a TV show that I have conflicting feelings about. The episodes fluctuate from having me strongly dislike the main character and her morales, to actually caring about how she grows as a human being. The thing is, it's not like I hated her at the beginning and then grew to like her as she matured. She flips back and forth constantly, even within a single episode. The Mindy Project has a variety of main characters that all seem to fluctuate in this manner, going from being narcissistic assholes who treat people like dirt to becoming genuinely nice people who try to help their friends.

To get down to the actual premise of the show, The Mindy Project focuses on a group of workers in a gynaecology office. The doctors, nurses, and assistants all have their own life issues that pop up frequently during the show, but it mostly focuses on Mindy, one of the doctors. She is a 30~ year old East Indian woman who can't seem to get her life together, aside from her job.

Are there actually people in the world like this? That get to their 30's and still have no idea what kind of person they are? I don't mean what they want to do with their life, that's different. I mean that they have lived for three decades and still have no clue what their personal values are, they have no core beliefs. It's an interesting thing to watch.

This show grows on you, I'll give it that. It is certainly not a kid friendly show, but only because of subject matter. There isn't any visual stuff (Looking at you, Game of Thrones and Hannibal) that is really inappropriate, other than people making out and getting a little physical before a cutaway shot. It's worth a shot to watch, but you have to watch several episodes before making a judgement call.

Toodles!
