The series was created by Studio 100 and airs on the Flemish TV channel Ketnet. It centers around a young woman, Mieke (Free Souffriau), who lives with her grandparents and works as a police officer but also has a secret identity as superhero Mega Mindy. She tries to keep it a secret, but falls in love with Toby (Louis Talpe) who also works at the police. He is in love with Mega Mindy and does not know that Mieke secretly likes him and is actually Mega Mindy. She tries to find a way to balance between work and being a superhero, but it is not always easy. ::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e7/Mega_Mindy_2.jpg" caption="Mega Mindy performing in [[Plopsaland]], De Panne, Belgium"] ::
Every episode has a new mystery that Mieke has to solve and one or more bad guys whom Mega Mindy takes down. Mieke's not-so-smart boss always tries to solve the case, but Mega Mindy usually ends up with the solution, which he does not appreciate. He does manage to claim responsibility for capturing a bad guy on several occasions because Mega Mindy cannot reveal herself. ::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/47/Mega_Mindy_verkeerspark.jpg" caption="Cartoon version of the character"] ::
