2017-08-18T12:27:21-07:00More 'Master of None' on the Way?
Aziz Ansari has been plagued by questions about a third season of his and Alan Yang's Master of None ever since the second season first dropped on Netflix in May.
After an Emmy-winning debut season, earning both Ansari and Yang a writing trophy for their eye-opening episode "Parents," the co-creators raised their own bar for the second round. The ambitious 10-episode journey began with Dev (Ansari) learning how to make pasta and practicing his Italian in Modena, Italy — a payoff from the first season's finale. The black-and-white premiere served as a cinematic, neo-realist entrance into Dev's new world. The second episode followed Dev and his pal Arnold (Eric Wareheim) road-tripping to a villa wedding in Tuscany. The pair then returned to NYC to tackle a a range of topics and other character stories,...

A great ensemble creates a mysterious bond between a show and its viewers. The chemistry shared on screen brings with it a certain level of comfort.
But to refer to this quality as some kind of supernatural power does a disservice to the men and women who forge it. There is the talent of each individual performer to consider: If any of them falter, the whole dynamic falls apart. It’s a dynamic that requires work, too. Whether it’s bonding in real-life or being a good listener on set, chemistry is a science for these casts; it’s made, not found.
Then there’s the versatility of expanding these connections beyond just one or two cast members, but an entire ensemble of six or so series regulars. The best ensembles work no matter who’s paired up in a scene, and it feels like the TV can barely contain...

“Master of None” has been a boon for showcasing diversity with its inclusive casting and storylines that take a look at people who don’t always get screen time. From its Asian-American leading man Aziz Ansari and a slew of supporting cast who are people of color (and one who is gay) to the unique narratives that shift the spotlight to underserved groups, the Netflix series is also a standout for diversity behind the camera. It’s currently only one of a handful of TV series that can boast Asian-American creators.
Alan Yang, who created the series alongside Ansari, alluded to the importance of representation behind the scenes in his Emmy acceptance speech in 2016.

The comedian talks to Screen about his most personal and challenging project to date.
Starting out in stand-up comedy in 2001, while he was a student at New York University, Aziz Ansari has built an increasingly high-profile career that includes seven seasons playing Tom Haverford on hit NBC sitcom Parks And Recreation. It was while working on that show that Ansari met writer Alan Yang, and the idea of his most recent project, Netflix comedy Master Of None, was born.
“Alan and I were really close friends during the whole run of Parks And Rec,” says Ansari. “We would always lightly talk about doing our own series and shooting it in New York, and doing something that was only eight or 10 episodes as opposed to the 22-episode form of Parks.”
As Parks And Recreation began winding down (the show came to an end in 2015), the duo became more serious about the prospect of Master Of None. Ansari and Yang...

TV trends come and go, but who would’ve thought that, with all the focus on inclusion in the past few years, there would now be an uptick of, as IndieWire’s Michael Schneider puts it, “white dudes in crisis” on TV?
To fill the diversity void, the networks have added actors of color to supporting roles. It’s heartening to see that this has created a more realistic picture on TV of what the world looks like, such as the marriage between Zach Braff’s and Tiya Sircar’s characters on “Alex Inc.” representing the growing number of mixed-race marriages in America. Unfortunately, it’s also disappointing to see so many of these favorite actresses get shunted from one supporting role to the next.

“Master of None” Season 2, Netflix
Episode Title: Season 2 (10 episodes)
Network Synopsis: Best known for his role on the award-winning series “Parks and Recreation,” comedian Aziz Ansari stars, writes, and directs “Master of None,” a new Netflix original comedy series loosely based on his own life experiences. “Master of None” follows the personal and professional lives of Dev, a 30-year-old actor in New York who has trouble deciding what he wants to eat, much less the pathway for the rest of his life. Ambitious, funny, cinematic, and both sweeping in scope and intensely personal, Dev’s story takes him through subjects as diverse as the plight of the elderly, the immigrant experience, and how to find the most delicious pasta for dinner.
Why You Should Watch: “Master of None” is more confident in its second season, focusing its cinematic influences and inventive narrative structuring into a moving personal story.

"Every girl in my phone hates me," Aziz Ansari laments in the excellent new season of Master of None. "Or I hate them." The sad part: His life only gets more miserable when he turns off his phone and faces the world. In Ansari's Netflix cringe-core comedy, he dissects modern romance as Dev, a thirtysomething semi-employed actor and passionate foodie living in New York, asking himself the same questions over and over. Where is true love? Where is the best taco in town? Will the kitchen at the tapas bar...

Each episode of Aziz Ansari’s Netflix comedy Master of None is kind of like a blind date: You’re never exactly sure what you’re going to end up with.
That’s still true in the long-awaited Season 2, which debuts next Friday, May 12 after a lengthy year-and-a-half layoff. Ansari — the likable Parks and Rec goofball who writes and directs here, as well as starring — seems to enjoy defying expectations, crafting each episode of his cosmopolitan rom-com as a self-contained vignette that may or may not connect to the episodes around it. This structure is ultimately limiting in a few...

Part of what makes “Master of None” a delightful, refreshing viewing experience is how in 10 episodes, co-creators Aziz Ansari and Alan Yang continue to find new ways to surprise the audience. Whether it’s a bluntly funny song choice, the casually incorporated use of black-and-white footage, a telling change in perspective, several telling changes in perspective, or an unexpected arc in the story itself, the Netflix original series feels informally formal. It’s gorgeous, deep, and with style to spare, but the narrative flows without force, moving from topic to topic with the ease of young lovers lost in a date they never want to end.
So why spoil it?
I won’t, but suffice to say, Season 2 is as carefully constructed as it is appears to be carefree. Ansari — who wrote or co-wrote every episode and directed two-and-a-half hours of the 10 episode second season — has infused more of himself into his follow-up season,...

Aziz Ansari has stated that he will take a “long break” from Master Of None before potentially going “back to it”.
Created by Aziz Ansari and former Parks And Recreation writer Alan Yang, the acclaimed comedy-drama stars Ansari as Dev, a 30-year-old actor trying to navigate life in New York City. Alongside Ansari, the show also stars Eric Wareheim, Kelvin Yu, Noël Wells and Lena Waithe.
The show returns to Netflix for season two on May 12.
Speaking recently to New York magazine, Ansari explained his thoughts behind the hiatus: “I’ve got to become a different guy before I write a third season, is my personal thought. I’ve got to get married or have a kid or something. I don’t have anything else to say about being a...

Netflix confirmed that the phenomenal comedy series Master Of None will return for a second season, and joyful celebration was heard throughout the land. The show, which debuted its 10 episode first season on the streaming channel in November 2015, has already collected a raft of awards nominations and wins – including a Critics Choice award for Best Comedy Series. Its second outing is now expected to arrive in 2017.
Created by Parks And Recreation alumni Aziz Ansari and Alan Yang, the show is, quite simply, a breath of fresh air – building each episode around a specific subject, and seeking discussion and enlightenment on that topic through subtle and hilarious storytelling.
For example, season one episode titles include Plan B, Parents, Indians On TV and Old People. Ansari plays the lead character of Dev – a 30 year old actor, living in New York and working mostly in commercials – and it is through the lens of...

Shoukath Ansari - "Master of None" Some actors were born for their role. Shoukath Ansari had to have a kid before he could find his. Aziz Ansari's father was such a delightful presence on "Master of None," he's been making the circuit with his son to help promote the show. Let me rephrase that slightly: The "Parks and Recreation" actor who's sold out Madison Square Garden doing stand-up and wrote a national bestseller brought his dad along to help promote his new Netflix series. That's how good Shoukath Ansari is at playing Dev's dad on the show. In just a few scenes, he became as beloved as his superstar son. Congratulations to them both.

Master of None, Season 1
Created by Aziz Ansari and Alan Yang
Released Friday, November 6th, 2015 by Netflix
After a stellar first half of the season, the second half of Master of None solidifies it as the best comedy on Netflix. Aziz Ansari’s show, which he co-created with former Parks and Recreation writer Alan Yang, is a breezy binge of ten thirty minute episodes, although some episodes might require viewers to pause before proceeding to collect the pieces of their heart from off the floor. Though not as acutely focused on race as some of the earlier episodes, Dev’s identity as an Indian man continues to come up in ways that feel all too real for minorities. The show also settles on a single love interest for the latter half in Rachel (played wonderfully by Saturday Night Live alum Noel Wells), allowing it to more deeply investigate a relationship...

One of the big topic of conversations among TV-watchers this fall: Why do the major networks keep refusing to cancel their crummy, unwatched new shows? Either there's nothing in the pipeline to replace these duds, or we're reached a stage where studios and producers are thinking more about Netflix, Hulu et al. than winning a Nielsen night. Since nobody knows what might eventually become prime binge-watching fodder, why scrap a series after only three weeks? So as long as the sets are already built and the actors are under contract,...

I posted my review of Aziz Ansari's "Master of None" last week. Netflix's binge-release business model makes episodic reviews impractical (I've tried a hybrid model with "Orange Is the New Black" the last few seasons, with very mixed success), so I thought I would try something different. You already know my overall thoughts from the prior piece, so I'm going to offer up quick thoughts on each individual episode (with spoilers for all), coming up just as soon as I begin the night with an aggressive Cartman impression... Episode 1: Plan B The broken condom anecdote is pretty terrific and unusual as a way into the Dev/Rachel relationship that will play out over the rest of the season. Like so much of the show, the devil winds up being in the details, like the way the Uber driver is blasting rap music to make things extra uncomfortable for them.

In America, names are signifiers of where we come from and where we could go. It always made me sad that Kal Penn is actually Kalpen Modi. Mindy Kaling, Vera Mindy Chokalingam. It's the kind of sadness you grow out of as you become an adult and discover realities we must simply accept. In Hollywood, certain names can never become famous unless shorn. Aziz Ansari subverts that rule. His is the name of an Indian Muslim, hardly an obvious candidate for American leading man. The former Parks and Recreation star has talked about how even he couldn't land three-dimensional roles after sidestepping his way into hearts as Tom Haverford. As Margaret Lyons predicted, Ansari's debut on Netflix is about to become a lot of people's favorite show.

"Parks and Recreation" truly is the gift that keeps on giving. Not only was the Amy Poehler-starring NBC sitcom an absolute joy to watch for its seven seasons on the air, but it also helped bring to light some of the entertainment industry's brightest stars. Aubrey Plaza is stealing scenes as she carries indies. Chris Pratt has become a bonified box office superstar. Nick Offerman is the pinnacle of American manhood. And on Friday, the product of one former star and one former writer, producer and director was released on Netflix to rave reviews, touting it as one of the best TV shows of the year. That being said, "Master of None" is very different than "Parks and Recreation." Its central protagonist, played by Aziz Ansari, is no Tom Haverford. Dev is a socially sensitive actor living in the cultural center of the world, with an active interest in...

Much like his character Dev, a commercial actor muddling his way through New York City’s dating scene, Aziz Ansari’s new comedy Master of None (streaming now on Netflix) can be unabashedly meandering — but that’s in no way intended as a criticism.
The Parks and Recreation vet — alongside co-creator Alan Yang — has created a deeply specific, highly diverse portrait of thirtysomething life in New York City, with a talkiness that recalls early Woody Allen and a sentimental streak that may be the show’s greatest asset.

In Aziz Ansari's new Netflix comedy "Master of None," the "Parks and Recreation" alum plays an actor named Dev, his real parents play Dev's parents, there's a running subplot where he takes a supporting role in a "black virus movie" called "The Sickening," and there are cameo opportunities for everyone from Claire Danes to Busta Rhymes. With that description, it would be safe to assume "Master of None" would be another showbiz navel-gazer, made by people — Ansari co-created the series with fellow "Parks and Rec" alum Alan Yang — only capable of, or interested in, writing about the world that's immediately around them. But what makes "Master of None" so special — and instantly not only one of Netflix's best series, but one of the best shows on TV — is that it's the thematic opposite of that. What defines Dev isn't that he spends a lot of time on movie sets,...

If you’ve missed seeing Aziz Ansari on your TV since Parks and Rec finished up its seven-season run earlier this year, don’t worry, because he’s coming back in just a couple of weeks with his all-new Netflix comedy, Master of None. And if you were wondering what Master of None would be like, Netflix has released the first trailer for the show to give subscribers an idea of what they can expect from Ansari and his co-creator Alan Yang. The short answer: some very funny stuff involving romance, family, and Indian accents (that last one will make more sense after you watch the trailer). Here’s Netflix’s official description for Master of None: Based on the comedic viewpoints of Aziz Ansari, the show follows the personal and professional lives of Dev (Aziz Ansari), a 30-year-old actor in New York who has trouble deciding what he wants to eat,...

Despite bringing in lower-than-expected returns in the third quarter of 2015, Netflix still has plenty of intriguing projects on the horizon, including several new original series. The next series to make its debut will be Master of None, a comedy starring Aziz Ansari that will premiere on November 6th.
Master of None stars Ansari as Dev, a semi-autobiographical romantic who lives in New York City. In the show’s recently released trailer, we can get a feel for the sort of topics Dev and his friends will explore. The central theme is love, which is a favorite topic of Ansari’s; the stand-up comic and former Parks and Recreation cast member recently authored a book called Modern Romance, in which he opines on the nature of dating in the 21st century.
Other themes discussed in the trailer include race--with particular attention paid to Dev’s (and Ansari’s) South Asian ancestry--and food,...

Set against the fast-paced backdrop of the Big Apple, Ansari stars as Dev, a 30-year-old budding actor caught in the midst of a mid-life crisis. Hardly original, of course, but there are elements of the star’s blunt humor peppered in the debut trailer that have caught our attention. As the official synopsis puts it, our protagonist “has trouble deciding what he wants to eat, much less the pathway for the rest of his life.”
Netflix has issued one season of Master of None to date, with the likes of James Ponsoldt, Lynn Shelton, and Eric Wareheim all directing various episodes across its planned run. On the other side of the camera,...

Parks and Recreation may be over, but luckily actor and stand up comedian Aziz Ansari is making the most of it. Netflix will be streaming his new show Master of None starting in early November. Apparently the two have a good relationship, with his last two stand up specials premiering on the streaming site. And now the first trailer for the show has been released that boasts plenty of comedy paired with the messiness of real life.
Master of None follows 30 year old Dev, a struggling actor trying to figure out life in New York City. Ansari has taken on the challenge of making this premise that’s been done a hundred times over unique. The trailer hints that he’s done just that by exploring issues like race in comedic and revealing ways while not being afraid to draw from his own personal experiences. The show is rounded out...

Aziz Ansari plumbs the neurotic depths of dating, life and show business — while also managing to get beaten up by a small child — in the rambunctious trailer for his new Netflix series, Master of None.
Ansari created the show with Parks and Recreation producer Alan Yang, but wrote and directed the first 10 episode himself. He also stars as Dev, a 30-year-old actor in New York, whose professional pitfalls and wisecracks feel like an extension of Ansari's stand-up routines. He awkwardly offers to pay for Plan B by saying, "My treat...

Aziz Ansari is probably best known for playing the lifestyle and brand-obsessed government drone Tom Haverford in Parks And Recreation, but he’s also a stand-up comic, a veteran of laugh-generating team Human Giant and constantly pops up in other shows and movies. He’s showing off his writing side with his own series for Netflix, Master Of None, which now has a trailer. The show follows the personal and professional lives of 30-year-old actor Dev (Ansari) trying to figure out life as he makes his way in New York. He’s confronted by issues such as dating, being stereotyped at work, whether he wants to settle down and have a family and how to talk to somebody’s grandmother without assuming she’s a massive racist.It’s all loosely based on Ansari’s own life, and not-so-loosely in the scenes where he interacts with Dev’s parents, played...

On the basis of the first trailer, comedian Aziz Ansari's new Netflix original series, "Master of None," is closer kin to "Louie" or "Girls," low-key and rambling, than to his high-energy Tom Haverford on "Parks and Recreation"—and that's just fine by us. Funny and easygoing, Ansari, as a 30-year-old actor named Dev, navigates New York and a host of awkward situations. He "treats" his girlfriend (former "Saturday Night Live" cast member Noël Wells) to the morning-after pill, gets schooled in misogynist comments online, and cautions kids not to yell out ethnic descriptions of passerby. By the tables are turned on Dev by his girlfirend's grandmother, "Master of None" had us hooked. All ten episodes premiere on Netflix Nov. 6.

Read More:Where to Watch the Best TV of 2015 Looking a bit more like "Louie" than "Parks and Recreation," Aziz Ansari's new Netflix series, "Master of None," looks more like a continuation of the stand-up comedian's studies than his past shows and movies. Ansari's best-selling book, "Modern Romance," focused on dating practices in today's digitally-dominated day-and-age, traveling across the world to observe and analyze different dating practices to understand how things have changed from generation to generation. In the trailer above, Ansari's character is asked the common questions — "Do you see yourself settling down?" — while he asks harder ones, from the difference between men and women's Instagram accounts to assumptions based on age. Ansari stars as Dev, a 30-year-old actor living in New York who struggles with just about every decision he's asked to make, from where to have his Sunday brunch to the direction of his life in...

Aziz Ansari didn't have to look too far when he set out to cast his character's parents in his upcoming series Master of None.
"There's not a ton of older Indian people that are out there in the acting game, so I wrote these characters kind of based on my parents, and I couldn't find anyone who really felt like my parents, so I just got my parents to do it," Ansari tells People. "They did a fantastic job."
In the show, Ansari plays an Indian-American actor, Dev, who navigates the ins and outs of life in New York as a thirtysomething.

Today's the first day of the summer 2015 Television Critics Association press tour (here's my traditional explainer of what tour is and how it works). I won't be going to tour until next week, but the magic of the internet allows me to pass on much of the news that breaks out there, starting with a bunch of Netflix announcements from day one: * "BoJack Horseman" has been renewed for a third season, 12 episodes of which will premiere next year. Since "BoJack" is now one of my favorite shows on TV, this news makes me happy. (Interestingly, Netflix is paneling "Sense8" today but has not announced a renewal yet for the expensive, strange, but at times amazing sci-fi series. That they're paneling a show that debuted almost two months ago speaks to the Netflix model versus the traditional one — new viewers could be discovering the first season at any time — but it's still odd.

Smash has made the term “hate-watch” commonplace in television fanatics vocabularies. It seems a majority of the audience for season one were sadomasochists who loved nothing more than to be tortured by the melodramatic silliness of a Marilyn Monroe musical. Season two has promised changes like a new showrunner Josh Safran (of Gossip Girl), departures of dull characters, and a new musical. The Smash premiere breaks like this: in the first hour we are presented with industry conflicts for the Bombshell production, and in the second hour we learn more of how personal relationships are developing for the cast.

All eyes will be on Smash to see if Season 2 hits the right notes.
The main conclusion about the first season of Smash was that... it wasn’t a smash. Instead it was a strange mix of love it/hate it characters and storylines. Thankfully, NBC (like many of us) still believed that despite the first season missteps there is still a good show here. The curtain opens on a second season tonight.
With a new showrunner in Joshua Safran (Gossip Girl) steering the ship, we’ll see familiar faces like Ivy (Megan Hilty), Tom & Sam (Christian Borle and Leslie Odom, Jr.) and Julia (Debra Messing, minus the annoying first season scarves) as well as new faces in Broadway’s Andy Mientus (who we recently spoke with), Jeremy Jordan (Newsies) and Krysta Rodriguez (The Addams Family).

Josh Safran has some big shoes to fill as he prepares to launch Smash's second, rebooted season and its first without creator and Broadway veteran Theresa Rebeck at its helm. After a creatively disappointing season that spawned the creation of the dubious term "hate-watching," Rebeck parted ways with the Broadway drama she created, with former Gossip Girl showrunner Safran taking the top job. His first order of business was to clean house and rid the series of what he calls characters with short shelf-lives, including Karen's cheating boyfriend Dev, Julia's annoying husband Frank, and Ellis, who quickly became

Arrow, Season 1, Episode 11 ‘Trust But Verify’
Directed by Nick Copus
Written by Gabrielle Stanton
Airs Wednesdays at 8pm Et on The CW
Arrow‘s potential is evident in the first half of every episode – there’s a somewhat interesting conspiracy being intertwined with some light family drama, and the introduction of most bad guys are entertaining and stylish. But there’s a growing concern with the last half of episodes, where plots fizzle out, resolved in nonsensical ways quickly, with a lazy plot twist thrown on at the end to further complicate the overarching narrative. These problems are abundantly obvious in ‘Trust But Verify’, an episode that tries to juggle too many plots at once, leaving them all feeling under-cooked by the anticlimactic finish.

At NBC's executive press tour session this morning, network chairman Bob Greenblatt referred to "Smash" as "an unqualified success." When I asked him to qualify the success of a show that replaced its creator with a new showrunner, got rid of several castmembers, hired several new ones, is changing the stories and otherwise undergoing a significant creative revamp, Greenblatt insisted, "I can't qualify unqualified success." Nor could the producers of "Smash" exactly qualify the extent of the changes to the show. Creator Theresa Rebeck has been replaced by "Gossip Girl" alum Josh Safran.

After its first season wrapped, Smash — a flashy Broadway spectacle that drew rapturous reviews for its first few episodes, then, um, less rapturous reviews as the show went on — was treated to some major revamping. (Cue Dreamgirls’ “I Am Changing.”) Showrunner Theresa Rebeck was replaced by Gossip Girl executive producer Josh Safran; characters including Terrible Ellis and Once-Dreamy Dev were given the boot; there was talk of improved serialized storytelling and less emphasis on the dreary subplots that once dragged the show down.
Have all those alterations led to a Smash that’ll truly sizzle in season 2? It’s tough to tell from this super-sized,...
