Well, that escalated quickly. If you do not want to have the season premiere of The Mindy Project spoiled, then I suggest you stop reading this post right now, watch the premiere then get back to me. That being said, let's get cracking.
Episode 1- Is that all there is?
Episode 1 time jumps us several months into Mindy's marriage to Ben the nurse. A time-lapse ensues showing the couple engaging in happy cliche married life. Which if you are an avid watcher of The Mindy Project, that spells trouble and boy trouble develops early. Ben is worried that Mindy is spending too much time at the office, and in turn getting caught up in office drama. There is plenty to be said on that, but I want to focus on this main plot thread.
However, not is all that it seems. Ben just wants to have a romantic evening with his wife. But Mindy is oblivious to him that she doesn't even notice that he was gone. She is fooled by a mound of pillows under the covers that she thinks is Ben sleeping for a majority of the episode.
In other news, Jeremy is celebrating his 8 month anniversary with Anna. Tamyra is considering invitro in order to conceive a child and raise the baby as a single mom. She begs Mindy to keep her secret but is ousted by Morgan when he discovers her in one of his classes that teaches women how to inject themselves with the invitro medicine. Collete and Karen are still sorting out their relationship after Collete left Karen at the altar.
Mindy eventually finds Ben in New Jersey and they agree to try to work on their marriage and spend more time with each other.
Not a jaw-dropping opening which was disappointing. I was hoping that for the final season they were going to start with something big. Hopefully, they are building to something bigger. The fun of The Mindy Project was that it was a nice spin on a romantic comedy. Now it's fallen in the pitfalls of its own cliches. The characters have not grown. In fact, in a few cases, I think Mindy has gone backward in her development.
It was stunning to hear in the season five finale that she didn't need marriage to complete her. She was happy with the status quo of her life and the relationship that she shared with Ben. It was nice to see her with a genuinely nice guy after Danny was written off the show as being an asshole.
I'm not sure what the writers have planned in order to finish this series but I'm hoping that they are building to something grand. Otherwise, they are not off to a great start.
You can catch The Mindy Project on Hulu. New Episodes premiere on Tuesdays.
