The show deftly captures the audience’s empathy by portraying an Indian woman who is “chubby and curvy,” dates a number of eligible guys, and enjoys herself to the fullest.
There are many TV shows about hopelessly passionate, independent women, but only a select few are able to have a captivating and stunning storyline and well-rounded characters that are compelling and compelling enough to keep you hooked. We’ve compiled a list of suggestions that you might appreciate if you loved the adventures in Mindy’s life and are looking for comparable shows to fill the vacuum. The majority of these programs, including “The Mindy Project,” are available on Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime.

A group of six people, most of them in their 20s, who live together as the property guardians of a closed hospital pay a lesser rent in exchange for maintaining the building’s safety.

Lulu is a flashy but real character.
The fantastic Phoebe Waller-Bridge appears as Lulu in the British series, which she also created.

Lady Dynamite (2016-2017)
One of Netflix’s most valued belongings is the hysterically comic autobiographical series “Lady Dynamite,” which is an exaggerated account of the comedienne Maria Bamford’s recovery from a mental breakdown. The effort a modern woman faces to carve a niche for herself in a challenging and generally unwelcoming world is covered in this joyride of a musical. It was created by Pam Brady and Mitch Hurwitz and has the odd humor of “The Mindy Project” while focusing on the life of a lead female character who defies social conventions.
Jane the Virgin (2014-2019)
One of the most endearing romantic comedy shows is “Jane the Virgin.” It is a loose version of the Venezuelan telenovela of the same name by Perla Faras, which was created by Jennie Snyder Urman. The protagonist of the show is Jane Gloriana Villanueva, a pious and diligent Venezuelan American who undergoes artificial insemination due to the negligence of a physician.
The biological father is her now-married teenage crush, a cancer survivor who loses his final frozen sample due to this tragedy, making the situation even worse. It parodies the overused cliche of Latin American telenovelas through its eccentric narrative. The comedic ups and downs of the complex lives of the imperfect but self-aware female heroines are both followed in “Jane the Virgin” and “The Mindy Project.”

The protagonist of Elizabeth Meriwether’s sitcom “New Girl” is Jess, a “adorkable” girl who moves into a loft with three weird males following a painful breakup. The four of them become closer as the novel progresses as a result of their everyday interactions and turmoil. The show’s quirky protagonist’s propensity for landing herself in awkward love situations is what makes it similar to “The Mindy Project.”
Additionally, both “The Mindy Project” and “New Girl” make an effort to break free from the network comedy formula by giving their regular female leads all the qualities that a typical rom-com snowflake would have.
The Comeback (2005; 2014)
The Comeback, a program within a show with the same name, stars Lisa Kudrow and was created by Lisa Kudrow and Michael Patrick King. It centers on Valerie Cherish, who was a highly well-known actress in the sitcom “I’m It” when she was younger. She returns to television years later but discovers that she is no longer the center of attention as she once was. The producers’ deliberate self-indulgence in providing themselves with plenty of well-deserved space to express themselves is similar to that of “The Mindy Project” in this regard.
The Good Place (2016-2020)
A lady named Eleanor Shellstrop finds herself in a paradise-like afterlife in the comedy series “The Good Place,” created by Michael Schur, not because she deserves it but rather as a result of an identity mistake. She had been a selfish, cruel, and morally bankrupt person all of her life. She makes every effort to stay in this utopian environment now that she has entered it, which necessitates that she develop morality. This Emmy-winning program, like “The Mindy Project,” follows a strong-willed woman as she makes her way through a ridiculously chaotic life—or, in this instance, the afterlife.

The show developed a cult following after its debut all around the world. Although Betty is not at all like Mindy in terms of being a nice, diligent young woman, both novels center on a career-oriented woman in New York. Both programs have a heartwarming quality and a good amount of original humor.
