So Aziz Ansari released his exclusive NetFlix show earlier this month, which I finished watching in, like, one night since its first Season consisted only of 10 online-streaming episodes. Master of None is about a 32 year old struggling actor called Dev, who attempts to make his way through life in New York City.
The show revolves around an American-born immigrant who is struggling to come in terms with adulthood: finding a stable job as an actor, the never-ending exhaustive process of finding the perfect romantic partner and dealing with everyday mundane situations, like: where to eat, to, what movie to watch in the cinema, in an age where everyone is so co-dependent on a digital micro-screen for every single decision and choice they make.
Majority of the episodes are based on Ansari’s current life and the life experiences he talks and jokes about in his last four stand-up comedy shows. One aspect of Master of None, that made it so realistic and heart warming, was the fact that, Ansari’s real-life parents Shoukath and Fatima, were personally hired by him to play Dev’s Indian parents.
Although the acting was quite poor and may have been the result of being, ironically, over-the-top, I definitely recommend you to give this romantic-comedy series a try, since it’s first Season was so short and funny.
Can’t wait for Season 2.
