Master of None

The first two seasons are basically a small masterpiece. The Long awaited third season however is a spin-off and doesn't really have anything to do with the first two seasons and follow other characters for only 5 episodes. Although I have not yet met anyone getting through all five episodes. I really tried. I wanted to like the third season, but yeah, no.

Why does it switch to celluloid film and 4:3 when the rest of the series has not been shot this way? Why is it only five episodes with so many years passing in some of them? Why is it an (very failed and flawed) art film cut up in a few acts? Why is it called season 3 when it is clearly not just a spin off, but also not even in the style of the original series? Did Aziz just watch a lot of classic European movies and think "Hey, I should try to blatantly copy this for my series that has nothing of this sort really otherwise"? Also, it is actually a poorly made version of that with the timing off concerning the awkward moments etc.

I usually don't write reviews here, but wanted to recommend the first two seasons and also wan people about the third.

Yes, S1 & S2 packed with sharp and comedic scenes (fantastic writing!). Season 3 is a different animal, but I think it's really good. Aziz did excellent job (he seemed learned a lot)! Although perhaps he should create a different series with S3 so some particular fans of S1 & S2 won't feel "betrayed".

The realness of this show is what hit me the most. It's labeled as comedy and that's certainly the first hook. Aziz Ansari is a good comedian, and I recommend his stand-up.

But it's as much the comedy as the sad moments in this show (and the excellent music sprinkled throughout) that make it special.

It's a show that feels so real and unscripted at times that I find myself having flashbacks and experiencing raw feelings as they are being evoked from some hidden depths of my own memory, of things that have happened.

I am convinced great comedians have this ability of brutal honesty that goes beyond the funny, it touches the true core of what being a human is, and how culture and society intermingle to form a person.

Aziz and the writers of this show have shown to possess this quality.

We miss little bud, big bud. Eric and Aziz are the best part of the show. Very disappointing having to sit through season 3 just because the title says "Master of none". It would make more sense as a completely different show. I honestly wish they could just remove season 3 and try again.

I'm talking about S3. If you like Arthouse drama you will love S3. I think is genius. In my opinion Aziz Ansari got some serious drama talent. I understand why people don't like S3, it is not Master of None it is an entirely different genre and could easily be named differently, maybe it should be.

So, if you hate slow, heavy but also ballsy and beautiful drama, avoid S3.
