To be honest, just based on the first episode, I wasn't terribly impressed beyond the obvious writing skills of Kaling herself, but it didn't take long for the show to get its sea legs and start up stories that I could really invest in.
The abilities of the cast are apparent once their characters form their own strong identities and it's always a joy to see Beth Grant doing comedy. An impressive array of guest stars also helps.
And Mindy herself is one of my favorite sitcom characters to come along in the past couple of years. Narcissistic, flawed, but ultimately with a good heart and willing to do the right thing. Not above embarrassing scenes or having jokes made at her expense, but never losing sight of what makes the character Mindy Lahiri, for better or for worse.
I'm excited it got renewed and look forward to the next season.
