    The Mindy Project is far more interested in the worn-out comic agenda of a smart, independent woman hamstrung by her obsession with finding commitment with a man than it is in self-excoriation or the unique proclivities of a chosen community.

    Think Gray's Anatomy with unpretty people; then think of something else to watch.

I'll keep watching.… Full Review »

The upside is that they don't try and bombard you with lazy humor like Two Broke Girls where they constantly say vagina or something or other. Time will tell.… Full Review »
