Season Two Review
Season three of "Master of None" is on the Guardian's top TV of 2021 list, but rather than starting with that I decided to go back and watch the first two seasons again first. It wasn't an easy decision. Since I first watched these episodes, Aziz Ansari's reputation was damaged by allegations during the MeToo reveals and certainly watching aspects of the season is an unusual experience now.
Following his breakup, Dev (Aziz Ansari) moves to Modena in Italy for a few weeks, to undertake a pasta making course. Whilst there he meets Francesca (Allesandra Mastronardi) and the pair strike up a friendship. On his return to the US he decides that his cupcake hosting show isn't for him, so pitches a travel vlog show to Jeff (Bobby Cannavale) the boss of the network. With things looking up, Dev still can't stop missing Francesca.
This season leans heavily into loving homages of various legends of Italian cinema, none more so than in the first episode which is an black and white ode to "Bicycle Thieves" and which deservedly won an Emmy. There are several excellent episodes in this run though, as the show often opens up to wider family, theme and even just New York in general. It's harsh to pick just one out, but "Thanksgiving" - a time hoping journey through Denise's younger life, guest starring Angela Bassett is right up there. That episode, co-written with Lena Waithe won an Emmy for outstanding writing.
It's a really really strong run, funnier, deeper and more emotionally honest than that first run. I wish it didn't have this Asterix over it and it could be taken for what it is, but that's not the case. I will, finally, be pushing on into season three of the show now.
