TV #30 of 2018: The Mindy Project, season 6 I know I’ve been complaining about this show’s inconsistent characterization and plotting for its entire run, but this abbreviated final season somehow makes those issues even worse. Everyone feels two-dimensional, there’s no emotional core to any of the story developments, and Hulu’s budget has apparently required …

TV Review: The Mindy Project, season 5

TV Review: The Mindy Project, season 1
TV #15 of 2017: The Mindy Project, season 1 Honestly, I’m not a fan. Yes, there are laughs in every episode, but the plot and characterization are just so lazy and all over the place. Morgan is a cartoon character with no stable motivations, the show can’t decide on what sorts of stories it wants …
