Mindy Project, Girls
This makes twice now, the season finale's have ended with boy 'rushing back to rescue/ save/ and / or / just be "knight in shining armor'"
This makes me both cringe n wanna vomit, and as well, per the last Mindy episode tonight- shout with joy, as it had been a long time comin for that kiss.
So- on the one hand, well written.. on the other- vomit gag.
GIRLS did this in their season finale LAST season and i wanted to vomit. With Mindy, I was happy for some reason, I guess it felt more 'earned' i'm not sure.
In any case, to be totally fair- I disagree with both. I guess thats me bein broken hearted a couple times and just.. I'm so against that 'he'll come rescue you' aesthetic. It works and people eat it up, but I think its teaching the wrong thing. It makes women wanna wait for that. Disney does this too. Bjork teaches her daughter against that and I think thats so important, these modern adult shows are really kinda doing the same 'fairy tale' thing.. in their own adult mature manner, but stripped down, its the same thing. Call it what you want. Its good for TV.. blahblahblahhh but lets just call it on it, and recognize what is going down.
I liked the last episode of Mindy, the end anyway, and it is a show I follow, but I just wanted to put that out there. I do watch GIRLS too, I dont find it really funny at all, theres some funny things about the characters themselves, but the writing itself... I see it more as a documentary. Anyhow, had to get that off my chest- I saw a similarity between the two and wanted to write about it.
