Mindy Kaling’s The Mindy Project is one of TV’s sharpest, funniest, and warmest new comedies. If you haven’t tuned in, here are several compelling reasons to give it a shot.

Mindy is flawed.

Mindy is flawed.

She's a mess. (The original series title, It's Messy, conveyed that pretty well.) But Mindy is also likable — far from perfect but still endearing enough to follow on a weekly basis. Sometimes she's purely sympathetic. Sometimes she's a total pain in the ass. Either way, she's a pleasure to watch.

Mindy is a strong female character.

Mindy is a strong female character.

Flawed, yes. Incompetent? Not at all. For all her issues (and there are plenty), Mindy is also a skilled OB-GYN. There still aren't enough strong female characters on TV, which makes Mindy especially important. Oh, and Kaling is the first South Asian–American lead actress on TV. Ever.

Mindy isn't skinny.

Mindy isn't skinny.

Relax, I'm not saying she's fat either. By TV standards, however, Kaling is curvy. It's something the other characters allude to — these aren't fat jokes so much as realistic depictions of the way women get categorized. In the most recent episode, Mindy got called "chubby." Her response was that she's a normal, healthy size.

Mindy and Danny have amazing chemistry.

Mindy and Danny have amazing chemistry.

I can't lie to you: I love good unresolved sexual tension. It may be a while before we see Mindy and Danny consummate their love-hate relationship, but right now I'm satisfied just watching their back-and-forth. While she may be a bit all over the place, he's kind of a dick. Hey, they're human.
