Highly Overrated But Still Good

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Master of None is a terrific television series with very well written episodes and an excellent cast that are capable of going from zany comedy to sincere effortlessly. It is not at all what I expected from Aziz Ansari, it is so much richer and more developed than anything I have seen him do previously, Netflix clearly gave him freedom to do what he wanted and he did not hold back for a second. The cast and crew clearly made the effort to make every episode stand out and never having one be like another, and you can see this. While there is great plotlines that continue over the course of the first two seasons, there are also out there episodes, like one that follows Dev on multiple dates, and another that follows a whole host of new characters from different parts of their town, the show continued to surprise me. One thing I will say about the show is that it rushes some arcs that I think could have been far more established. It has a tendency to bring up something huge about a character, and then moves on, there is certainly a lot more scope that could be given when the series hopefully comes back for more seasons. The cast is absolutely phenomenal, all Emmy worthy performances. I could not possibly name out every great performance here, but the likes of Aziz Ansari, Eric Wareheim, Lena Waithe, Alessandra Mastronardi, Aziz's real life father Shoukath Ansari and Bobby Cannavale all truly blew me away with their deliveries of characters that they easily could have been caricatures of, but instead played with amazing balance. Funny and enriching. Hilarious, beautifully acted and original, I would certainly recommend Master of None to anybody looking for a good comedy series. Follows the life of Dev, a man trying to make a professional career as an actor, as well as searching for love. Best Performance: Aziz AnsariBest Episode: The Thief/ Worst Episode: Religion

On Netflix I swiped happily past Master of None a number of times to be honest; maybe even more than I'd care to admit. I ran out of shows to watch, so I sat down and began a tour of love, anger, and despair like no other thing I've witnessed the last couple of years.The show centers around Dev (Aziz Ansari) who's a celebrity actor with a severe case of minuscule 'c'. The show throws you directly into Dev's love life, and makes you feel every emotion that he goes through, as the normally energetic and happy Dev meets the obstacles of a struggling actor, a uncertain love life, and the everyday problems of family and friends.The show and the themes of the show are so relatable that it almost hurts to watch it at times. Especially the themes of family in the first season and an unapologetic, uncertain love in the second season.I was hooked from the first episode, as the show seemed a bit quirky, but original. After watching the entirety of the first season I indulged myself with the second season, which is a masterpiece. Aziz Ansari and Alessandra Mastronardi are both amazing throughout the second season and their chemistry is uncanny.To sum it all up is 'Master of None' a masterpiece unlike no other show. Never has a show made me cry and laugh as much whilst staying as original, beautiful and raw. A wholehearted recommendation from a happy binge- watcher.

I watched the first two seasons and it felt like I watched two different shows. The first season was brilliant and it was funny. I enjoyed every episode in the first season and the material was solid. I don't think the acting was bad either since Aziz was playing himself in the show.The second season was the complete opposite of the first season, however. It was boring, slow, full of drama, and completely unfunny. Maybe Aziz ran out of good material at the end of the first season or maybe he lost his enthusiasm but the show truly went downhill very fast in the second season. I've seen shows go downhill after 5-6 successful seasons but this is the first time I see a show go downhill after just one great season. I'd give the first season 10 stars and the second season 1 star, which averages out to 5 stars.

Aziz Ansari has amazing comedic timing which for me is what really makes this show great along with the dry and awkward dialogue. The character development and stories are also entertaining without being forced or trying to attempt to wrap everything in a neat package. He uses common relationships and everyday life experiences to drive his stories which is hard to do but seems to work well for the show. Although not necessarily plot driven or in the vein of a Curb Your Enthusiasm; this show offers situational comedy that isn't entirely make or break per episode which is refreshing. My only complaints are the actors Eric Wareheim who plays his tall bearded friend with glasses and the woman who plays his mother. I will give the woman that plays his mother a pass because it is in fact Ansari's mother even though her acting is expressionless and her timing is probably the worst I've seen but at least I know she isn't actually a trained actress. On the other hand Eric Wareheim is a terrible character and actor on the show, relentlessly dumb and unentertaining, his acting is just plain awful, at this point I wonder why they didn't just go with Brian Posehn if they just wanted someone big and ogre- ish. His performances are stale and for me he is just annoying to look at, but that's just me. Some of the episodes such as the first two are slow going but the cinematography was quite good so I stuck with it, and one or two other episodes didn't really go anywhere but what really makes this show good is Ansari's genuine-ness and a great supporting cast that keeps changing, I was very impressed with Claire Danes acting on the episode The Other Man. I am excited to see what Season 2 and forward will have in store and if the show's freshness will be able to remain or time.
