Aziz Ansari's 'Master of None' on Netflix

the only thing I remember about s2 was wishing eric wareheim would stick to directing

I absolutely cannot relate to this impatience people are expressing with scenes that unfold slowly and carefully. Life is already much, much too fast and most shows are unwatchable because they move even more quickly.

Also the unimportant details in ep2 made no sense. Doesn't matter for the story I guess but it was driving me crazy.

-Denise's friend/hook-up said she was too drunk to drive home, implying that she had driven there. So was Denise driving her home in the friend's car? How did she plan to get home?

-Also the car accident was staged extremely randomly. And the friend was on the passenger side, where the other car plowed into. No word about what happened to her?

-Why would she have left her underwear lying on the floor...like, they showed her getting dressed, you would think she would notice that when she put on her jeans?

-This is silly but Denise offers her cookies, the friend eventually says 'sure, go put them in the oven', and then makes fun of her for having Tollhouse dough. Wtf who assumes that when someone offers them cookies, they're talking about (homemade) dough that they are about to go bake, as opposed to already baked or bought cookies?!

So far I keep going back and forth about whether this is deeply felt & observed material or bullshit that deeply wishes it was serious art.

The disappearance of the “friend” was weird to me too. I guess a Femme Fatale can never really die.

lol

(oops, sorry about messing up my spoiler text, oh well)

They also never dealt with who naomi ackie’s character had slept with. I wonder if she even cheated or just made it up to even the score—resist casting herself as the more innocent, sensitive one...

Just saw that that actress is only 28. She does a good job playing someone a decade older. Very emotionally plausible

i don't really remember a huge amount about season 2 other than that I liked it and I got sick of Aziz saying "allora" and there was a pretty Italian woman.

finished this last night. Its very good but I can see how people would be disappointed at lack of firm resolution. It does wind up being a study of Naomi Acker's character more than anything else; I could have done with one more episode focused on Denise.

the IVF episode is incredible.
