Actually this TV show is super good. It's not a pute comedy, it has this very well balanced mix of drama and comedy "there isnt lots of drama and not lots of comedy". It really depicts lots of aspects we face in real life, thats why its engaging and you can binge watch it. "The comedy touch helps alot"

I don't know how many reviews I've written on iMDb, but pretty sure it's less than five. I love this series so much, I had to pause it to write this review.I love Aziz Ansari's comedy, but wasn't sure I'd like a series with him. I was bored, trolling Netflix for something to watch, read it had won some awards, and went for it. Man, am I glad.It's not laugh-out-loud hilarious, it's 'I can relate' soft chuckle material. It's 'wow- that's so true' funny. It's heartwarming, it's sweet, it addresses real-life issues in today's world. It's mellow, it's calm, it's relaxing, with just enough stressful situations to keep you interested. I love it.

An example of a great immigrant drama set amidst present day New York city with comedy as sublime. Started with a slow pace in the first season the comedy drama elevated to its original content and suspense. But with the arrival of second season Aziz Ansari as a character as well as director transformed into Elite TV show. First season mainly deals with the struggle of an immigrant (Indian) in New York city and how he struggles to lead a common life like any of white counterparts. Aspiring to become an actor it makes it twice harder for Dev (Aziz Ansari) as he's a man of his own principles.
The series even though circle around the life of Dev, his friend circle is just amazingly put together as they're too outcasts and misfits in their own ways. One could observe the beauty by which the reality around is shown in a subtle and sweet way revolving around each themes in each episodes. The show tries to challenge the morality set by the society which involves a set of rules people have placed forward to the generations after them. As the character development occurs and when the first season reaches its climax is the only time when one realizes that all the while the story was weaved around one character.
The second season kicks off with an episode in Italy completely shot in a noir is a legit start to the season yet again it builds up a small tempo and gets intense towards the end. Second season tries to focus more on the stories of other characters as well but at the end they're connected to Dev in one way or the other. Apart from poor acting from couple of actors the acting part is well handled through out the series. Direction has been great so far without much of a drag like the most TV series out there. Series includes great references across the pop culture and often pulls out some classic puns. One good way of knowing the cultural diversity in and around New York city with some great comedy, drama and acting.

I had read the impressive reviews on Master Of None, so I was very interested watching this. It was supposed to be something of a New Era where old comic laws are no longer valid. But seriously, I was actually shocked by how many jokes were based on so called "culture and race" differences on Indians versus whites. So that with Aziz (purposely?) speaking with heavy Indian accent I really didn't get the point. I found it embarrassing. Next to this the plots were really nothing special.
