‘Master of None’ Season Two Is A Triumphant Masterpiece

The first season of Master of None immediately propelled Aziz Ansari’s critically acclaimed dramedy to being my favorite Netflix original series yet, it’s that good. Though with time it’s slipped slightly from that spot – Stranger Things takes the top spot, and BoJack Horseman just manages to edge it out for number two –  it’s remained at a comfortable number three. (For reference, Love and House of Cards round out my top five at a distant number four and five respectively.) Ever since I first finished season one, a day after it premiered, I’ve been eagerly awaiting season two, so when Netflix dropped it yesterday I enthusiastically binged the series in its entirety. After my first complete viewing, I can loudly declare that Aziz Ansari has managed to top the work he did in season one to deliver viewers another fantastically crafted ten-episode story.

In case you want to go into season two completely blind, I must warn you at this point that there are some very minor spoilers below, in terms of episode premises. I don’t discuss anything in enough detail to ruin any surprises, endings, or overall episodes, however.
