Quote of the Day (Mindy Kaling, on a Type of Show the Networks Want Now)
“He leaves sonnets pinned to the corpses. The
murdered prostitutes all have the first names of Jane Austen heroines. The
kindly police commissioner’s name is Chuck Dickens. The whole thing takes place
in a tough housing project in Newark, called Stratford-up-by-Avon. A melancholy
English actor plays the lead in this mystery-drama, and he uses his accent no
matter what country it takes place in. This is everyone’s mom’s favorite show.”—Mindy
Kaling, on one of “the kinds of shows the networks seem to be clamoring for
lately” (in this case, the “hot serial killer who’s kind of literary”), “Shouts and Murmurs: Coming This Fall,” The New Yorker, Aug. 10, 2015
