Critic Consensus: Exceptionally executed with charm, humor, and heart, Master of None is a refreshingly offbeat take on a familiar premise.

It falls squarely into this naturalistic, single-camera category. And it is a vibrant, original pleasure.
The 10-episode series, co-created by Ansari and Alan Yang and arriving on Netflix this Friday, is not a cringe comedy but a comedy of manners, fascinated by anthropology and etiquette, by how we behave and how we should behave.
Master of None is so confident in its tone and execution that it almost feels like a show in its fourth or fifth year. This may be the most confident first season of a comedy since Veep.
There's an age at which being professionally and personally adrift pivots from cute to tragic and Dev is on the cusp. Then, perhaps that is deliberate too - adding poignancy to a comedy that blends sarcasm and sincerity in just the right quantities.
At a time when diversity in television is the hot topic in entertainment, how fitting it is for a show like Master of None to pop up and serve as the ideal example of what a unique voice can bring to the table.
Quippy, topical but also thoughtful, Master of None is perfectly binge-worthy and thus the ideal Netflix show. If you start watching, be sure to set aside time for all 10 episodes. Go on, treat yourself.
