TV Review: Master of None, Episode 8: “Old People”

It’s a fact that most people hate to admit: we are getting older. With each and every day that passes, we are slowing turning into our elders.
TV Review: Master of None, Episode 7: “Ladies and Gentlemen”

If you’re an ignorant, regressive feminist-hater, the best course of action would probably be to skip “Ladies and Gentlemen.”
TV Review: Master of None, Episode 6: “Nashville”

“Nashville” is everything television should be. The sixth episode of Master of None is charming, intelligent, heartbreaking, and humorous—more so than any of the other episodes so far.

Things get weird in the fifth episode of Master of None. Guest staring Claire Danes, Noah Emmerich, and Colin Salmon, “The Other Man” incorporates some bigger name actors in a few odd situations.
Review: Master of None, Episode 4: “Indians on TV”

It’s not hard to guess what the theme of Master of None’s fourth episode is when it has a title like “Indians On TV.” Writers Aziz Ansari and Alan Yang tackle cultural inaccuracies, and, well, blatant racism towards Indians in television and film.
TV Review: Master Of None, Episode 3: “Hot Ticket”

“Hot Ticket” was the episode I hoped “Parents” would be. The third episode of Master of None has characters other than Dev (Aziz Ansari) resurfacing and the show starts to feel like it’s truly hitting its stride. Although the series still doesn’t have a completely concurrent narrative, “Hot Ticket” was a step in the right direction thanks to the reappearance of familiar faces.
TV Review: Master of None, Episode 2: “Parents”

Two episodes in, Master of None is becoming very clear to me. It’s not a show about getting the cheap laugh (almost every Chuck Lorre sitcom, I’m looking at you), it’s about offering a healthy dose of wit, charm, and intelligence. While it appears very accessible on the outside, those looking for added layers of sophistication won’t need to search hard.
TV Review: Master of None, Episode 1: “Plan B”

The latest Netflix show to be garnering high praise is Master of None, a comedy co-written by and starring the severely underrated Aziz Ansari. Through a ten-episode season, Ansari looks to break out from his Parks and Recreation shadow and prove he isn’t a one-trick pony.
Well, to be honest, this quest is completed in only one episode.
