Netflix has been adding a ton of quirky and mind-melding shows and movies lately. Recently, I started watching "Master of None," a series consisting of 10 episodes on Netflix, starring American actor and comedian Aziz Ansari. Ansari is known for his roles as Tom Haverford in "Parks and Recreation," Darryl from "Bob's Burgers," and his stand-up comedy shows, so it's no wonder his comedic timing is spot on. This series gives us insight into the life of a young 30-year-old actor, Dev (Ansari), and his encounters in the acting business as well as his personal journey in New York. Dev's experiences are relatable enough, especially if you are a millennial. Each episode is approximately half an hour, so it is doable for binge-watching in one sitting. It is worth your time and deserves your attention because it brings important topics to light, such as racism in the entertainment industry, modern dating, sexuality, and parenting.
If you needed further convincing to watch this amazing series here are 10 reasons to do so:
1. The technology that's used in the series is parallel to how it's used in reality.
2. The events we experience in real life occur, and we can finally witness as these fictional characters speak our innermost thoughts aloud.
3. The chemistry between all of the characters is so well matched and they bounce off of each others' personalities naturally.
4. It presents a different level of the endearing side of parenting that you will be able to grasp and empathize with.
5. Gender differences are revealed in realistic situations.
6. Aziz's real parents make a cameo, and it's adorable and golden.
7. Dev portrays what it's like to be a minority in the acting business.
8. Children of immigrants will watch as their own experiences are reflected in the Dev's experiences.
9. The modern romance and dating is relatable.
10. The honesty is sincere and you will appreciate it.
"Master of None" has been receiving a large amount of praise for its humorous appeal and has simultaneously been receiving positive responses for its truthfulness. Ansari portrays his character Dev as a genuine guy and professional actor just trying to live life like the rest of us, and now you have the pleasure of experiencing his life in the entire first season on Netflix. It's incredible to have a series such as this one to shine light on the positive and negative of any given situation relative to today's issues, which is greatly appreciated. Don't even think about scrolling past this show because you will regret it if you don't give it a chance. When's the last time you saw a minority lead a series while addressing how to overcome the severity of gender differences, sexuality, stereotypes, and race?
Exactly.
"Master of None" is setting the bar for comedy series alight and will open your mind as well as comfort your soul.
