Started watching this today, it's pretty funny. Anyone else?
 
I got some catching up to do with it but I might fall behind with Jessica Jones coming out at the end of the week.
 
Glad that this got nominated. I hope the show and Aziz win.
 
I believe they got one for writing tho.
 
I've seen the first three episodes big the second season so far. His cousin seemed to be a non-actor to me.
 
The acting in this is just terrible. Aziz is great, and I'm a fan of his, but damn, all of the other actors surrounding him are just laughably bad. That little Italian kid was over acting so much, his parents and cousin are bad, the episode of all the random New Yorkers is bad, etc, etc.

Did he spend his entire budget on a vacation to Italy, and then have to find people on the street that would be on his show for free?

I disagree about the acting. While it's clear (and a well known piece of trivia regarding Aziz's parents) that many of the actor's are amateurs, I think they do a fine job.

My only critique this season -so far- is that the first two episodes lacked the relatable quality that made much of the first season so enjoyable. Once Aziz returns to New York, things pick up again.

I thought the episode following different people around -especially the deaf girl- was outstanding. I hope the series manages to stay grounded like this. Master of None is at it's best, in my opinion, when we can follow Aziz as a regular guy trying to get by and struggling with everyday troubles. When he's at parties with John Legend or running around Italy, I start to lose a interest.

I do agree with this. Especially the first 2 episodes....honestly I started both but finished neither. I just wasn't into them at all
 
The dating app and Thanksgiving episodes were my favorite. I really thought he was gonna meet the British lady again in New York until it became obvious they weren't going that route.
 
I was bummed out we didn't see much of Rachel, but overall, it was a great season! My favourite episode was probably "First Dates" Hope Aziz decides to do S3!
 
Loved season two, thought it was better than the first. Will probably rewatch the entire show.
 
Just finished season 2 and loved it. I hope they take all the time they need for season 3 if they can keep the quality up.
