Mindy Kaling delivers big time on this hilarious new show about being
successful, ridiculous, and slightly awkward in a lovable way. This
show is about Kaling, an OBGYN doctor who is balancing her path to
finding love with work and is not afraid of being her funny self along
the way. The first episode drew me in not only because of the witty
banter between Mindy and her inevitable love interest but also because
she is in essence every girl. Her love of romantic comedies and hope
for these ideals to mirror her real life is fun to watch! This brown
sugar also has an amazing cast of handsome co workers that make for
some pretty good eye candy! This show is smart and witty and has plenty
of laugh out loud moments! I hope that you all love this one!
I must admit, when I originally started to watch the show I had low expectations. Mainly because though I'd previously enjoyed Mindy Kaling's portrayal of Kelly Kapoor on The Office (US), I'd seen characters who are hilarious in supporting roles not be able to translate that humor into an entire show based around them as the lead character... I'm looking at you cast of Seinfeld. However, I was pleasantly surprised to be completely wrong in this case.
This really is a great show that doesn't take itself to seriously. Also, I thoroughly enjoy the soundtrack. But the dialogue is where it's at... I'm actively working to make my friends converts for the show so I can start quoting it more... "We get it, you're smarter than us because you read the newspaper" -- it's like Mindy read my mind, people who read the news are just the worst, surpassed only by morning people.
