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!
