Netflix recently debuted Master of None, a smart comedy about a New Yorker navigating through life with modern worries. Like Aziz Ansari's comedy stand-up and his book Modern Romance, his new show is full of poignant observations about love and it's perfectly doused in humor to avoid the cliche.
His study of love is not only about romance, but it's also about family. The actors portraying his on-screen parents are actually his real mom and dad! And it's really sweet to see how they interact, in the second episode. Perhaps what Aziz does best is exploring all sides: the point of view of parents, the other person in an affair, women, elders, etc. Every episode is a thoughtful insight in the new way we manage relationships, while still trying to keep ourselves intact.
