MASTER OF NONE (2015)

Master of none, 2015, is a Netflix original created by Aziz Ansari (you probably know him from Parks and rec) and Alan Yang, who wrote some of the episodes of Parks and rec. There are 10 episodes, each running for an average of 25 minutes and use a single camera.

The show is set mainly on the streets, in the clubs and in the apartments of New York City, so the production value is already impressive. It's revolutionary ambitious, it uses less traditional devices, like flashbacks well to tell stories in more unconventional ways that make the story more fulfilled and progressive.

However, the comedic style that Ansari has established works well with him, but when it's mixed in with other characters it often feels laboured, as well as the acting from some more minor characters.  But the show is charming and fresh, as well as dealing with issues like the morning after and unemployment without being too distracting or derivative from the central themes. Overall, the show is charming, great for a binge but not something you could get hooked on.
