Binge Watch: Master of None
on January 8, 2018 at 12:01 amI don’t say this often, but Master of None might be the best TV show I’ve seen in a while. I mean, I like Stranger Things, I dig the Trailer Park Boys, but this series— Holy shit. It hits close to home.
Aziz Ansari plays Dev, an Indian actor in New York. I only watched the first two episodes, but already it’s amazing. It kind of picks up where Seinfeld dropped the ball. It’s not that People Are Hell, as it was in Seinfeld (although there’s some of that in there), it’s that people are total pussies today. It sounds weird, but watching Dev go to crazy lengths just to figure out things and then blow off important things just to catch a movie with his friend is, I’m sad to say, me.
I’m always obsessing over food and stupid little things, while I feel like my ancestors did some real shit. Episode two just nailed that and the kind of random, city-dweller frustration that really, a lot of us have even outside the city.
I am totally hooked on this show and can’t wait for more. Big thumbs up for Master of None. See it Bros! Now on Netflix! (Actually, it’s always on Netflix since it’s a Netflix show.)
