Aziz Ansari in Master of None

Aziz Ansari is contemplating fatherhood in the pilot episode of Netflix's new series Master of None.  The episodes were posted yesterday (November 6), and after watching the first half hour episode, called "Plan B," I am already hooked.  Ansari plays a single man in New York watching others grow up around him.  The pilot included googling during sex, a birthday party for a one year old, babysitting, divorce, and plenty of contemplation.  It was a full half hour with him roaming around New York in a Louis sort of way but without all the zaniness.  This trailer shows you some of the highlights of what is to come.  

The show was created by Ansari and even stars his own parents playing his character's parents. And this character is very different from the one he played in Parks and Recreation where contemplation was not really one of his strengths.  His new character is someone more of us should be able to relate to.

Critic Hank Stuever in the Washington Post sums the show up in this way:

...the overall effect of “Master of None” is one of fullness and fun. It doesn’t amount to any meaningful hill of beans, but, as I understand it, that’s no longer the point. This seems like a long way of invoking the Seinfeldian concept that “Master of None” is another show about nothing, minus all traces of the inherent distrust and disdain of Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David.

The show is worth a look.  You won't be disappointed.
