Nov 7, 2015Great show by Aziz Ansari. Nice to see him step into a lead role and kill it. The show is refreshing, and also relate-able. If you like Aziz in parks and rec or his stand up, you'll like him in this show even more.

Aug 10, 2016This a TV show which shows how a 30 something guy reacts to changes and complications he witnesses in his life and it's co created by Aziz ansari and gives a good perspective on the relationships carried by this generation's 30 yr olds and with a good comedy this show can be one of the modern comedy series By NETFLIX

Feb 19, 2016An Indian Seinfeld basically. Man child character and his friends. Doesn't try to shock or offend and is mostly pleasant with the occasional smile. No way a 9 out of 10...The original Seinfeld would warrant that...not this middle of the road stuff.

Dec 2, 2015Pretty surprised by the reviews. I'm pretty dang good at guessing metacritic scores. When I'm off, I attribute it to me being a idiot. On this one though, I'm actually a little skeptical.
-
Dec 7, 2015Do we get a refund on bandwidth usage?
This is another one of those over hyped shows that makes me question the legitimacy of super positive online reviews. -
Nov 13, 2015Just like his last stand-up special, heavy-handed and humorless. The trite observations he makes in that special foreshadow the dull, poorly-written situations in the show. I used to like Aziz, a lot. His material just feels so generic and stale now.
-
Nov 12, 2015Could someone please explain what's really funny in this show? I loved Ansari in Parks & Recreation but what the hell is this?! I can't see a single funny joke or szene within the first 16 minutes of the pilot, so I have no other chance to quit this series with disappointment. That's no sitcom, you can probably call it a social study by an obviously way overrated US standup comedian.

Dec 12, 2015The show just seems mediocre at best. That is my review as a consumer of television entertainment. The show comes across as ham-handed, and as others have said, Man meets women, doesn't want to commit, regrets it a bit in a childish way and talks too much about it.

Dec 6, 2015Miguelit0's review said it all for me.
The show is ham-handed, with poor writing and acting.
As a liberal I'm offended at how dumb-liberal the show constantly is.
It's at about a 10th grade level of sophistication, in every way. -
Nov 30, 2015I do appreciate the effort, diversity and issues tackled in the show, I really had high expectations and thought that "The magically hilarious" show is finally here. However I can only remember myself laughing (smiling is a better word) once or twice during the whole season. I found it really childish and boring, and it kept getting worse. HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT
-
Nov 11, 2015Average at best and overrated. Neither exceedingly funny or original. Tries to emulate "Louie", and is nowhere near as funny or smart, and If you already find Aziz Ansari annoying it's all the more difficult to enjoy.

Nov 14, 2015An interesting, funny, sophisticated comedy in these weird times of pick your genre or go back to watching Friends, HIMYM, or some other old shows. I really want Netflix to bring back Season 2!

Dec 1, 2015Some of the absolute worst acting I have seen on any show. It lacks real emotional honesty and its horrible acting is just a symptom of the disconnect that the actors have with the material. The entire thing is just a hot mess.
-
Nov 6, 2015Hilariously honest, anyone who's a fan of Aziz's standup will find a lot the material just as sharp and witty. And there's still a lot about the show that's refreshing and new.

Dec 10, 2015While kind-hearted and occasionally clever, Master of None is also boring and preachy. None of the characters are interesting. None of their situations are interesting. The narration isn't interesting. And I concur with another reviewer who says the show teaches lessons on a 10th-grade level. For Netflix original comedies, watch Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt instead.
-
Nov 30, 2015One of my favorite shows on Netflix. Touches on themes relevant to young adults in a funny and charming way. Loved almost every episode (there was just one dud). If you are not enjoying it by episode 3, give it up but definitely give it a chance!
-
Nov 30, 2015Aziz Ansari is very good stand up comic, but this show is just boring. Stick to live shows man, you are good in live performances. My score is just for the effort of making this show.
-
Dec 2, 2015I only watched the first episode. I think this show is just an contemporary interpretation of the same clichés. Man meets women, doesn't want to commit, regrets it a bit in a childish way and talks too much about it. Same old, same old...
-
Dec 9, 2015Love the idea for this show, it's totally organic and the themes are relatable and keep you watching. One thing that really threw me off was his parents being casted, those scenes were really awkward and badly acted but overall it's a great show. Can't wait for the next season!

Dec 8, 2015I feel so connected with Dev and I understand all his doubts and questions and that's the reason I'm obsessed with this show, for me is so true life, very funny and very sad at the same time. I want more

Jan 13, 2016This is a huge disappointment. I don't understand why it gets high ratings. Watched 5 episodes waiting and hoping it will get better, but it same **** from the start till the end.
Avoid. -
Feb 2, 2016Too much trying to be Seinfeld of 2010s or a less dark Louie. In that sense, it could be more groundbreaking. Does everyone from my generation need to be a copycat??

Jul 2, 2017S1 was outstanding in every way, but S2 was so horribly, painfully acted that it was a huge letdown. Aziz Ansari is a very funny guy and talented guy but any scene that Eric Wareheim or Alessandra Mastroardi are in borders on unwatchable.
-
Nov 9, 2015Its not as good as the reviews would like you to believe. Its well made (budget enough obviously) but to me its feels a bit artificial (Constructed as you will) at times. Thematically its like Louis CK but I dont buy the story like with Louis one does. All together its not bad but certainly not worth the overall Metacritic rating.

Nov 8, 2015The first two episodes are overrated, but it hits its stride in a hilarious and touching third episode as Dev takes a hot mess on a date. The choice to cast his real parents as his TV parents is cute but doesn't always work. At times his ideas are preachy and on the nose, but ultimately it's a great millennial comedy.
-
Nov 6, 2015Master of None is trully funny without being needy or ofensive, it's pure comedy that goes smoothly and makes you wanna watch the next episode right away, one of the best comedy series that goes premiere in 2015.
-
Nov 11, 2015The best sitcom anywhere today.......and that includes Veep and Episodes. Ah, the joy of watching one of these gems never ends. It's dark but it's not, it's tongue-in-cheek and yet not; and it keeps it real. Very real.

Nov 21, 2015This show started of like "Ok, so what's so special about this comedy". Then, it hits you like no other. It is very unique, clever, sometimes subtle but hilarious. This is my new favorite show on Netflix!

Nov 9, 2015There have been a lot of rave reviews for this show but, honestly, I don't get it. The pilot was dry, confusing and dark. I didn't care for the "Humor" or the worldview presented.

Nov 19, 2015First world problems annotated by a whining crybaby. Possibly the worst pilot episode in history. Episode nine the only vaguely passable show in this overwhelmingly unfunny series. Spare me.
-
Nov 7, 2015There's something about this show that I just love, but I don't really know how to describe it. I really enjoyed this show and I hope they can continue on with it.
-
Nov 9, 2015First of all I love Aziz man. He is hilarious acting and on stage. Very uplifting and definitely one of the feel good shows on Netflix. Would recommend.
-
Dec 2, 2015One of the best comedy show. The characters are so relevant with daily basis. And has great social values. Worth to watch show, and worth to win Emmy awards. The acting of Aziz Ansari are beautiful.

Dec 1, 2015This is one of the best comedies I've seen in a while, and at many moments, it didn't even feel like a comedy because they touched on real issues that many people have and are facing. The idea of the quarter-life crisis really hits home in this show and I think they did a great job portraying it in a way that shows comedy and heart together.
-
Nov 22, 2015I'm loving it so far. It's a lot more relatable than any show I've seen in a while. The show episodic themes touch on first world problems that currently afflict my demographic. Given the fact that a lot of my favorite shows take a season before they hit their stride, I’m excited to see where this show goes.
-
Nov 13, 2015While this show is not "Laugh out Loud" hilarious, if find it weirdly entertaining. Noel Wells is so gosh darn adorable its hard not to binge watch the show just for her. Aziz is also fantastic, and while not as over the top as his roles in Scrubs or P&R;, he is still a great lead and his comedy still shines where you least expect it.
-
Nov 24, 2015A clever unusual TV show. Every episode deals with different issue and makes you think about it. There's also some great acting, Noël Wells and H. Jon Benjamin killed it. If you want a quick laugh and expect this is a sitcom, you probably wont like it.

Nov 30, 2015I feel as though the people giving this show a rating of 2 or lower, would probably give Bing Bang Theory a rating of 8 or higher. So take that as a positive. It's a witty, thought-provoking and nicely wrapped gem. A must watch.

Nov 11, 2015It was a good, simple show. Aziz wanted to make a realistic comedy show while discussing some important issues in the society and not just the American society, and he did a good job with the show.

Feb 4, 2017What an absolutely steaming pile of *****. It isn't funny, intelligent, inciteful, or otherwise worth watching. How on earth did it get a meta critic score of 90+

Nov 10, 2017A QUESTION: Is there anyone out there willing to convince me to watch a tv series starred by a Indian guy, knowing that I am not a fan of either Bollywood at all or comedy which main plot is a minority character?
Hopping to hear from all the fans, I have the whole first season and I cannot get my self to even watch the pilot. -
Jan 9, 2016This is a quasi "deadpan" show which explores life's everyday conundrums from a lighter funnier perspective. If this were a movie, it would probably win an Oscar for best picture. If you watched Birdman and didn't understand why it got the Oscar for best picture, you probably won't get this show either; it's not for you!
-
Feb 15, 2016Aziz Ansari is simply great at transfering emotions. The show is extremely well built and the actors are very convincing and act brilliantly written characters. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes cheesy, but never borig. This is a must-watch on Netflix.

Oct 2, 2018Good show, funny with some interesting and relatable themes. There's some bad acting and it may be a bit clunky here and there though
-
Aug 11, 2016It's all nicely observed and the characters are relatable and empathetic. But it's more like a quirky novel than a television comedy. I never laughed. Not once. And I wanted to.

May 17, 2017Aziz Anzari shows amount of talent in a comedy serie that avoids vulgarity and anything that looks like racial prejudice. A fortunate, funny look to clash of cultures.
-
Oct 12, 2016This show has very good videography but other than that I am not sure its anywhere near the lofty reviews I've seen here on Metacritic. Its okay, not great or bad. One thing is its misidentified as a comedy. I was expecting to laugh some but it took til episode 2 before I even found myself laughing. Also, the acting is very lacking---even with Anziz's performance at times.

May 22, 2017A show about food with no humor at all. Sorry for the spoilers, do i have to check the box? Now i have to write more words for this comment to submit.

Feb 17, 2018Finished the First season show in 3 days and i apsolutely adored it. It is so amazing and well written. It handles both funny and serious topics so well. If you get a chance try it out it probably won't click instantly on First episode but just finish it, continue and see the magic of Master of None.
Rating: 10/10 -

Aug 13, 2020HILARIOUS. I genuinely laughed out loud, and I don’t do that for TV Shows. All the characters were so fun and loveable. Great watch

There are times when the dialogue is rough and doesn’t flow quite right, but not enough to overshadow the humor. Ansari has a gem of a show here.
-
Master of None, one of the most assured shows in recent memory, knows exactly what it’s doing.
-
Wide-ranging and genuinely funny.
