A polished jewel of the genre starring an actor-comedian who has seized this opportunity and soared with it.
Master of None, the year’s best comedy straight out of the gate, is a lot of things.

HILARIOUS. I genuinely laughed out loud, and I don’t do that for TV Shows. All the characters were so fun and loveable. Great watch

SEASON 1
Finished the First season show in 3 days and i apsolutely adored it. It is so amazing and well written. It handles both funny and serious topics so well. If you get a chance try it out it probably won't click instantly on First episode but just finish it, continue and see the magic of Master of None.
Rating: 10/10

SEASON 1
There are times when the dialogue is rough and doesn’t flow quite right, but not enough to overshadow the humor. Ansari has a gem of a show here.
Master of None avoids comedy conventions, eschewing a regular cast in favor of recurring characters and guest stars who pop up in episodes devoted to different themes. The show plays a bit like “Louie” in that way, but Master of None is funnier, less dramatic and tonally closer to Woody Allen’s lighter fare.
If Master of None isn't perfect, it's awfully damn close. Along with recent shows like Catastrophe, Transparent, and Broad City, Master feels like the point of contemporary half-hour narrative television.
[Master of None] is smart, sweet and funny in ways both familiar and fresh.
It sounds a tried and true setup, but Master of None immediately breaks the mold, infusing the struggling actor formula with a touching helping of both heart and humor.
Unfortunately, I can't give this show a 9.8, the only fault is has being some shoddy acting, so I've rounded to 10, and I believe that this is the best show I've ever seen. Every single minute has meaning, and you truly never know what's going to happen, because it's a very realistic show. There are times where it drags you through the mud, but every moment of redemption feels so good because of it.
It feels, in a way, that you are Aziz Ansari (Dev) because of just how realistic it is. It's by no means an easy light-hearted show, but I don't think that it should be deducted of points because of that.
It's very stylistic in its own way, and the people in charge of direction and color did an extremely good job.
Great ass show; watch it

SEASON 1
S1 was outstanding in every way, but S2 was so horribly, painfully acted that it was a huge letdown. Aziz Ansari is a very funny guy and talented guy but any scene that Eric Wareheim or Alessandra Mastroardi are in borders on unwatchable.

SEASON 1
I don't get everyone's hype behind this show. Let me say what I do like about it first. The show is shot beautiful and I think the wide aspect ratio was a nice choice that sets it apart from most comedies. Aziz is very charismatic and a likable lead. And the music supervision is some grade A stuff. What bothers me is the directing, particularly of the actors. They all sound like they're reading their lines for the first time. Everyone sounds so disjointed and off when they're conversing with each other. Denise and Brian especially. In fact the only one's who deliver their lines decently are Dev and Rachel. The writing is also average. I binged the show and the only episodes I remember somewhat decently are the Pilot, the parents episode, Nashville and the finale. And that to me is a glaring issue. Yes the stories come from a genuine and unique place, but it is how they unfold that is not very creative. My example is from the first episode where the mother just happened to forget she had a meeting the same day she was attending a birthday party with her kids, and she just sort of left them with Dev. We never see this character again after this episode. In fact that is another thing, characters other than Dev are not developed or fleshed out in the slightest. They feel like filler, and that feels like a waste when you have the talent of Eric Wareheim on your side. Also this is a personal gripe but I didn't find using his parents to work too well in the shows favor. i could see how people like it but their acting was so bad I couldn't get behind it. And yes I understand that's part of the fun but call me a stick in the mud I couldn't get past it. I only write out this long convoluted critique not to knock the show but to challenge this universal praise the show seems to get. It's not a bad show by any means but I've seen people say it's their favorite show of the year and I really dont understand why. Especially when the Leftovers is happening right now.
