Master of None (2015)

Watchseries; I have watched the first 2 seasons several times over and could honestly say Master of None was one of my favorite shows. To my disappointment, season 3 was as bad as it gets. It not only had a generic and extremely depressing storyline, it completely ruined the image of the show for me. If I could go back in time I would 100% make the decision of continuing to rewatch season 1 & 2 and just appreciate the great TV that it was. I do not want to give away spoilers for anyone still willing to give it a shot, but I HAVE NEVER SEEN a later season in a show ruin an entire series like this (and I watched all of game of thrones). It turns the happy, witty, funny, and meaningful Dev into a complete depressed loser. I wish I was kidding.

Master of None watchseries. I truly do not understand the audience they were going for. Season 3 is a total snooze fest. It is slow as molasses in January. It is a total departure from the first two seasons. I understand the "Art House" style Ansari was going for, but please do not bore your audience. He should have just stated a new TV series and not "bait and switched" us with this show, calling it "Master of None". You have been warned, your patience watch these five episodes will not be rewarded.

This was one of my favorite series and I was really looking forward to season 3. It's awful. Removed everything great about the show and made it unwatchable.

Seasons 1&2 have a pretty well established appeal, and the shows in general are quite well regarded. Season three focuses on Denise, the changes in her life & living arrangements and more so, the details surrounding her love life.

The fact that she is gay is largely irrelevant since it never mattered in the first two series, but what is relevant is that the shift in the direction the series has taken is so significant, it will probably appeal to a completely different group of people.

There are certain comedies I don't watch because I don't find them interesting or entertaining, programs like 'How I Met Your Mother' 'The Big Bang Theory', or 'Modern Family'. There's a whole host of them that have no comedic appeal for me. However I do watch 'Brooklyn Nine Nine' and 'Rick and Morty', and if one of them was to morph in to a version of 'The Big Bang Theory' I'd stop watching them too.

I think what the producers should have done here is to create a new show called "Denise" (call it what you will) rather than leech of the popularity of 'Master of none' in releasing the new series which lets face it, is a totally different incarnation.

Ok fair dues to openness, Ansari did say this season would be different, but with a new direction, but what we have here is something more that a slight, or even moderate change, this is a severe shift in genre.

The last thing I'd say is unfortunately if the show was decent, I'd probably watch it. Sadly it isn't. Denise has lost much of the frivolity of her earlier appearances. Yes she was always deep, but now she's deep without the joviality that made us laugh. It's as though she's grown up, and now dealing with the important issues of adulthood has lost inner child that lit the screen. This may have been deliberate, possibly to give more depth an insight into the rigors of her life, I don't know, but the show is consequently quite heavy, and as if this wasn't bad enough, it is also pretty boring, which makes it largely unwatchable.

Anyway, I don't necessarily want to rag on the show, but the simplest phrase that comes to mind for Series 3 is... "This is not what we signed up for"

I think this is a fair appraisal of the show. I hope it helps.

Loved season 1 and 2, was looking forward to season 3. And it's was totally awful. Was expecting a lot of Aziz in season 3 as well, but he was only in one episode. Too bad he wrote out himself from the script.

The realness of this show is what hit me the most. It's labeled as comedy and that's certainly the first hook. Aziz Ansari is a good comedian, and I recommend his stand-up.

But it's as much the comedy as the sad moments in this show (and the excellent music sprinkled throughout) that make it special.

It's a show that feels so real and unscripted at times that I find myself having flashbacks and experiencing raw feelings as they are being evoked from some hidden depths of my own memory, of things that have happened.

I am convinced great comedians have this ability of brutal honesty that goes beyond the funny, it touches the true core of what being a human is, and how culture and society intermingle to form a person.

Aziz and the writers of this show have shown to possess this quality.
