I was really excited to take a look at this show because of Aziz Ansari. I saw him before on Parks and Rec and of course some of his stand-up material as well. I found a wonderful show, with colorful characters and entertaining conversation that always left me wanting for more. The show basically deals with Ansari's character Dev's life in New York City. We get to know his closest friends, his professional and love life through the strongest weapon of this show in my humble opinion: the dialogue. Each episode deals with a theme in particular, which I believe are the same themes and topics that Aziz Ansari addresses in his own stand-up routines. Many of these themes includes Dev's religious parents and indian idiosyncracy, his love for food, being a struggling indian actor, technology, the elderly, women and dating. All of these is seen through the eyes of Ansari's offbeat character, and the mixture of characters that comprise his group of friends which include his black lesbian friend, his Asian-descent friend and a tall chubby white friend, along with other characters of Indian ethnicity like his parents and some of his fellow actors. So, talk about diversity right? This combination of characters is another thing that really makes this show, besides its humorous script and the ever-loving context of the city of New York. I watched it and fell in love, now is your turn.

Master of None is a terrific television series with very well written episodes and an excellent cast that are capable of going from zany comedy to sincere effortlessly. It is not at all what I expected from Aziz Ansari, it is so much richer and more developed than anything I have seen him do previously, Netflix clearly gave him freedom to do what he wanted and he did not hold back for a second. The cast and crew clearly made the effort to make every episode stand out and never having one be like another, and you can see this. While there is great plotlines that continue over the course of the first two seasons, there are also out there episodes, like one that follows Dev on multiple dates, and another that follows a whole host of new characters from different parts of their town, the show continued to surprise me. One thing I will say about the show is that it rushes some arcs that I think could have been far more established. It has a tendency to bring up something huge about a character, and then moves on, there is certainly a lot more scope that could be given when the series hopefully comes back for more seasons. The cast is absolutely phenomenal, all Emmy worthy performances. I could not possibly name out every great performance here, but the likes of Aziz Ansari, Eric Wareheim, Lena Waithe, Alessandra Mastronardi, Aziz's real life father Shoukath Ansari and Bobby Cannavale all truly blew me away with their deliveries of characters that they easily could have been caricatures of, but instead played with amazing balance. Funny and enriching. Hilarious, beautifully acted and original, I would certainly recommend Master of None to anybody looking for a good comedy series. Follows the life of Dev, a man trying to make a professional career as an actor, as well as searching for love. Best Performance: Aziz AnsariBest Episode: The Thief/ Worst Episode: Religion

I don't know how many reviews I've written on iMDb, but pretty sure it's less than five. I love this series so much, I had to pause it to write this review.I love Aziz Ansari's comedy, but wasn't sure I'd like a series with him. I was bored, trolling Netflix for something to watch, read it had won some awards, and went for it. Man, am I glad.It's not laugh-out-loud hilarious, it's 'I can relate' soft chuckle material. It's 'wow- that's so true' funny. It's heartwarming, it's sweet, it addresses real-life issues in today's world. It's mellow, it's calm, it's relaxing, with just enough stressful situations to keep you interested. I love it.

I'm going to be in the minority here, I didn't enjoy season 2 very much. It has so many low points the two spectacular episodes of the bunch can't save it, the two which Aziz isn't the main character, oddly. I'm a fan, I've watched all of his comedy specials and liked him in Parks and Rec. My appreciation has waned though. Either his shtick is as love lorn nice guy is getting old or I've changed. Either way, he doesn't seem to be maturing.In season 2, I had a really hard time feeling for this very privileged New Yorker, moping around because he's single. The only time this show was worth watching for me were when the story had nothing to do with Aziz or his dopey best friend. Oh, I did enjoy episode one because of the food and cool shots of Italy. The dialogue seems forced, the acting is wooden in the whole darn thing. I'll say right now, his parents are non-professional actors who play his parents in the show and they are DELIGHTFUL. They are a huge part of what made season 1 so touching, charming and memorable.The much loved second to last episode where he woos an engaged woman fell totally flat for me. Would we respect Aziz if he did this in real life? Would we respect Francesca? Nope, we wouldn't and we shouldn't. The way he and his buddy played it like it was a game, "should I made a move?" "Should I say this or that?" Dude, she's engaged. Step tf back. I don't get the grand love story here but I don't watch romantic comedies either so maybe it's just something I'm missing. Either way, I hated it with a passion. I hate her! I know she's supposed to be perfect and stuff but she's too perfect, the dialogue seems forced with her, her acting is woody af. His relationship in season one made sense. As did their breakup, it all worked for me.
