Mindy Lahiri is a successful, skilled doctor, but when she leaves the office, all bets are off. She aspires to become a more well-rounded woman, someone who is punctual, frugal and well-read instead of someone who is obsessed with romantic comedies and likely to give an inappropriate toast at a wedding. Despite stumbles, Mindy remains determined to get her personal and romantic life on track -- before her friends and colleagues are forced to stage an intervention -- and find her perfect happy ending.

Ed Weeks Entertainment Weekly I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the writers for giving me a love interest that isn't a bird. Sep 26, 2017 Full Review Jennifer Keishin Armstrong New York Magazine/Vulture The Mindy Project is hitting its stride. Rated: 5/5 Sep 26, 2017 Full Review Marah Eakin AV Club The Mindy Project has always been good at tipping its hat to the rom-com paradigm while subverting it all the same. Rated: B+ Oct 4, 2016 Full Review Molly Horan Refinery29 As a feminist who knows that a woman doesn't need a relationship to complete her - or even to complete her family - I appreciated the choice. As a viewer who was promised a rom-com, I was annoyed. Sep 26, 2017 Full Review Kimberly Roots TV Line Mindy, you're a doctor, so why don't you do the honors: Please call a time of death on my love for Dr. Daniel 'Diamond Dan' Castellano.

Audience Member Nice job alienating both sides of the aisle with a race-baiting episode so poorly written it likely made more people racist than not. Danny is sorely missed. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
