Quorra Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I used to love this show but it's gone downhill. At first, I loved it because Mindy was superficial, mostly unliked by the people around her, and apart from being a succcessful doctor with style, she was pretty much a loser and her life was a mess. Now she's happily married with a baby on the way and beloved of all around her. Boring! Maybe they're trying to wrap up the show to close on a happy ending.

Starkess Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 She's not married. I think a lot of people are unhappy with the pregnancy storyline, but in general I still enjoy the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iskaral Pust Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Mindy still blurts out hilarious lines that are politically incorrect or bizarrely vapid or both. But the show itself has been terrible. The romance stories and the support characters have been cringeworthy. It's probably better to pull the plug on this quickly and let Mindy resurface in another setting.

Quorra Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 It does has some great quotables. It's just that more and more it seems her shallow comments are in more serious moments, as seemingly justifiable sentiments instead of something we should be laughing at. Before, it was making fun of shallow people, but now a line like "I want you to love me in the way that I can show on Instagram." is delivered with tears in her eyes and a serious atmosphere. It was a good idea to get rid of her blonde married best friend who was around in the first couple of episodes. That character brought nothing to the table.

Reposado Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 yeah i think it ran out of steam in season three after making massive improvements in season 2. i still like the mindy character but everyone else on teh show has gotten a bit hard to take. and i never really liked danny as a character so making him so much more central was never going to work for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, he represented the fun-killing father figure all silly women secretly admire. He had great understated lines like the following response to the suggestion that he doesn't like turning on the heat in the winter: “Why, to heat up a drawer full of unused sweaters? You wanna get warm, get on the floor and do some push-ups, okay?!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravenhair Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I actually love this show, weird pregnancy plot line and all. I thought Mindy and Peter Prentiss (Adam Pally) would have been a great romantic relationship (the wedding date episode is a favorite), but I generally loved the two characters' interaction. Danny often seems like an asshole to be avoided. I'm very glad, though, that Hulu picked it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
