Yeah this is not one of the greatest shows ever like Louie is, but still pretty ****ing good for a first season low budget show.

Shocked at all the hate this is getting ITT. I'm 5 in and I'm really impressed with the writing and the overall look of the show. Its different, not the same **** we've been watching over and over again. Each episode is movie quality and there's some legit laugh out loud scenes. But even if this doesn't make you laugh its still an interesting smart show and there's no arguing that its well made.

Aziz and Alan yang did an AmA today if you're interested

I thoroughly enjoyed the whole season and I thought it got better as it went on. I can see the similarity between it and Louie, but Louie is waaaay darker and much more ambitious. I think Master of None could potentially be great one day though. Overall Id give it a solid A-

LOL this show is clutch

A- is pretty accurate i enojyed it myself, having seen 5 episodes so far.

LOL at the guy whipping the banana split ice cream against the wall after he orders it. "THIS TASTES LIKE ****"

I bet season 2 will be awesome

fwiw this was my take on it:

in other words, I also wasn't hooked after the first two eps, but after that I thoroughly enjoyed it

Jesus Christ. If you can't see why this is being compared to Louie then you either don't watch TV at all or you're very dense. I dunno what else to tell you. They're different in a lot of ways, but the comparisons are nail-IN-the-head obvious.

So what if it isn't, to some, better than Louie. Why can't people enjoy both shows? Louie is critically acclaimed especially Louis CK. Even if this show isn't better than Louie, who gives a ****.

Master of None has nothing on The Sopranos.

It takes like 5 hours to watch it doesn't have to be a master piece to enjoy it.

6 episodes in, and it's my fav comedy since Arrested Development.

I feel like it's a cross between Louie and Seinfeld. Like what would have happened if Seinfeld had been edgy and cool.

I thought it was funny
But man he's such a wimp

He's so overly sensitive
Everything is racist sexist offensive in his eyes
Just silly

Really liked the show, also found episode 2 to be the weakest of the season.

The last episode really hit home hard, because I feel I'm in a very similar spot myself and really clueless what to do...

Haven't finished this yet, but I'm enjoying it. The Louie comparisons are both obvious and unnecessary - this show is not really Louie at all. Almost no action happens in that show with Louie off-screen or not present. It's all about his experiences. This show hasn't given a ton for the ensemble to do - I'm not sure we've seen Denise without Dev around, at least not through Episode 8 - but Arnold had a pretty big chunk in the Old People episode that Dev wasn't there for. In addition, the jokes on this show are structured more like TV jokes are; it's not rapid-fire jokes, but on Louie you can have very long stretches without conventional jokes.

Same.

I'm in a very similar spot, don't really think marriage is necessary or should change a relationship, more potential downside than upside, outdated institution, etc., but the girlfriend feels differently.

It was interesting to watch with the girlfriend in that regard, and I can also see why it wouldn't resonate with older or more traditional thinking people.

It's rare to see the perspective presented in master of none, so I'm a big supporter of the show.

I think he brings up good points about racism and sexism. Pretty much everything in "Indians on TV" was spot on. He explored both sides of the argument and dealt with the nuances of the issue. He wasn't just like "They won't cast me this isn't fair!". Thought the women stuff was on point too (obviously women have to worry about all the things that come with being the physically weaker sex).

What did bother me was how he handled his relationship arguments. I groaned a few times he when he was apologizing for **** he didn't need to apologize for and was generally being kind of a bitch. For instance his gf got mad he wasn't supportive when she said she might take a job in Chicago for 6 months. She was completely unreasonable and selfish and he took this apologist defensive stance in the argument. It was pretty gross IMO.

At least 50% of the dudes I know would have gone that route...

Really loved this show, hoping for more.

Noel Wells is bae.

He's an idealist, politically correct nonsense
He's all butthurt about some funny thing Ashton kutcher did in an Indian accent
Who cares

Ha same. That was me a few years ago; afraid to have an argument with the gf storming out. When you don't stick to your guns and give some BS apology it signals to the girl a lack of confidence in yourself. Everyone is wrong at some point and in a healthy relationship you call out the other person when are they are and when they realize it (it may take some time) they apologize and grow as a person. No normal person wants their SO to agree with them at all times and apologize all the time like some sort of abused servant.

No he's raising solid points about how we are living in a racially diverse society but every show is "Hey look at these white guys".

As for the Ashton Kutcher thing I'm white and not overly sensitive at all and even I can see that's offensive. On the same level as having him in blackface IMO.

4 eps in, wife and I are alternating between it (when we don't have time for a bigger time investment) and Sherlock. Episode three felt like he was inside my brain.

That's the entire appeal of the show to me at least. Totally modernized show that absolutely nails the experience of being 25-40 ish right now.

Just watched the finale, man that's got potential for next year.

lolol that's funny

What the TV networks are just giving the people what they want for ratings
2 Indian dudes a show would be a terrible idea
That's illogical and idealistic
He's a woman
