Anyone watch this show? Just watched it over two days and honestly, its fucking awesome. It's very different but comes together so well in the second half of the season. Aziz's experience with comedy and a real tv sitcom show (parks and rec) created a perfect show IMO.

https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/794754/Master-of-None---Main-Trailer---Netflix--HD-

this trailer does a decent job of representing the style of the show, it gives you a decent idea of the plot but without really giving away anything.

If you have netflix, go watch it. Its 10 30min episodes, that's a solid show binge, do it.

watched it all in two evenings, almost just a tease that there will be only 10 episodes.

But I really enjoyed some of the issues the characters go through, one the rare shows you can relate to in your late 20's.

It's really good. The brutal honesty of how things are and the almost mirror image of some of the situations to my life had me hooked. The ending was legit, not your typical Hollywood chase the girl cheesedick tale.

Honestly if it has the Netflix logo on it...I'm watching it. They straight up kill it on every show. Narcos, Daredevil, Jessica Jones ( haven't seen it, but it looks fucking good), The unbreakable Kimmy Schmitt ( I know it looks stupid, but if you liked 50 Rock you will love this).

i don't really understand this show.

i watched the first episode and it looked like i was watching a guy do regular-guy stuff. nothing to draw me in, no highs or lows. idk maybe i'll watch ep.2 and it'll get better.

Watch the first 5 at least, the first few are pretty scattered but the second half of the season ties it all together.

I guess it is very relate-able if your at an age where you've been through similar situations.

i mean i've looked after kids, gone on dates and had a full time job with cooky coworkers but by no means do i think i should make a tv show about it.

because they crack a joke every 15 seconds and have a "live audience" to make sure you know there was a joke that you're suppose to laugh at.

I watched this first episode and thought it was alright. A couple parts had me laughing pretty hard like the line about "I'm in saunas and hot tubs a lot, so I think that melted my boys (sperm)". There were 2 maybe 3 of those hilarious moments, but the rest I felt was meh.

I mean, its not a stand up show, its a rom/com kinda show but with hilarious/amazing actors and a very good teleplay. I'd recommend watching more

Great show, it's a shame it is so short. The music selection in the show is awesome, definitely helps make it what it is.

Now when can we get more silicon valley?

Jerry Seinfeld was a god and if you talk any shit about him ever again on newschoolers, the internet, to your friends, or even weep quietly to your mother about him I will hunt you down and slap you god damn silly until your stupid ass username is Taco Dog

At first I was like "mehhhh" but after episode two I kept going. Shocked in the following week how many really deep conversations amongst coworkers and my wife were spawned from just that first season of the show. Weird and I like it.

If your asking that question I'm questioning if you did. Woman getting creeped on Texting girls and them not texting you back. Other 21 century dating problems. How hard it was for hisnparents to move here and start a life, and how ungrateful he is about it........

I watched the entire first season in a single day. Shit is great.

Also, Aziz has a new standup special on Netflix, it's great. John Mulaney does too, go check those out. Thank me later.

This is true. Not his last album that came out in September, but the special from Madison Square Garden. It has a lot of overlapping content, but the jokes are way more expanded on. John Mulaney had a show for a season that was literally his standup re-used word for word.

Jim Jefferies did that as well, with the scene on the airplane.

Why do you think that? It was an instant hit on netflix, not like its an expensive show like normal TV shit, plus with netflix's distribution, theyd be crazy not to do another season.

I hope so, but
1. He's supposedly in Italy so unless they brought him back to NYC it'd be too expensive to shoot
2. They sort of wrapped it up nicely with the last episode
Idk man I hope they keep it going, it just seemed like the story line was written for one season.
