Binge Watch

Binge watching, the thing that I'm sure everyone has denied but secretly does until 2 in the morning knowing full well they have to wake up at 7am for work-or maybe that's just me.  If you are one of the few that are unfamiliar with the binge watch practice, let me explain.  Binge watching usually takes place on Hulu, Netflix, HBO Go, or any site that allows you to watch countless episodes of a television show in succession.  Usually once you watch one you can't stop (sort of like that Pringles slogan: "once you pop, you can't stop") and the binge watching begins.  Well I just finished a binge watching session of a show that's currently on TV, but needed to catch up in order to be able to watch the new season this fall.  The Mindy Project.

The Mindy Project follows the life of 30-something OBGYN, Dr. Mindy Lahiri (played by my soul sister and spirit animal Mindy Kaling).  Mindy is single and living in New York City.  She is obsessed with romantic comedies-especially When Harry Met Sally which is more reason to love her-is a hopeless romantic, has great clothes, and simply say what every single girl out there looking for the lover of her life is thinking.  This comedy is unlike any other show on television right now.  Mindy Lahiri isn't your typical size 2, cookie cutter, beauty queen.  She is Indian, of a normal size, and actually has a brain, all things that she continually brings up in the show-usually as jokes but still they're brought up.  There have only been 2 seasons of The Mindy Project, all of the episodes are on Hulu and each one is only a little over 20 minutes long so this is an easy show to binge watch in maybe a week, 2 tops. Another reason why this show is so awesome?  Mindy Kaling brings on all of her comedian friends on as guest stars: Seth Rogan, BJ Novak and James Franco just to name a few.

If you want to laugh out loud and be endlessly entertained, then watch The Mindy Project before the next season starts this fall.  The season 2 finale was so good, that I think I may actually watch it again tonight.  If you're a fan of the show or start watching it after reading this post let me know what you love about it!

Xoxo,
B.
