‘Master of None’ offers a bold shift in season three but still shines

Why wasn’t Aziz Ansari in the third season of Master of None? He was the main reason that the show was one of the biggest hits on Netflix, getting acclaimed for high praise from many critics. Ansari stared as Dev Shah, a commercial actor who was best known for the Go-Gurt commercial.

Ansari’s character, Dev, explores the life of an Indian American born to immigrant parents growing up in New York, which is vastly different from his parents’ upbringing in India. Dev is surrounded by good friends, including his best friend, Arnold (Eric Wareheim), and Denise (Lena Waithe).

Season three of Master of None goes into a different direction as it focuses on Denise, a lesbian author who marries Alicia (Naomi Ackie) after seeing her success as an author. Denise and Alicia are experiencing their relationship through thick and thin as their differences grow between them.

Explaining the third season of Master of None

Master of None does a good job of showcasing a different perspective of diversity from a sexual orientation standpoint. This is important to note based on the storyline of season three.

The show does spin-off from Ansari’s character where the first two seasons were focused on a man who doesn’t get accustomed to the same path as his immigrant parents. Waithe’s Denise lives normally, like anyone regardless of sexual orientation, but sees the drama and problems that come with being a successful author, even if it comes with achieving their dreams.

Denise and Alicia are still connected after their divorce, with equity in their old house in Upstate New York. They live different lives as Alicia achieves her dream to have children of their own.

What the show conveys in the third season is that no relationship is different with the ups and downs regardless of sexual orientation. Denise and Alicia’s relationship shows that in comparison to Dev’s past relationships including with Rachel and Reshma.

Acclaimed Praise for the Show

Master of None has received high praise on Rotten Tomatoes, with over 80 percent for all three seasons. The third season may not have Ansari as the main character, but he’s the reason the show has been so successful.

Wareheim and Ackie made an impact on maintaining the theme of the show where they come from different backgrounds in connecting with people from all walks of life.

The third season may not have the upbeat tone like the first two seasons, but it could do a lot better to bring back more of the reoccurring characters.

Ansari has never lost his swag from playing Tom Haverford in Parks and Recreation and has maintained a high standard in his acting ways. He did a great job in all aspects as an actor, as a director, and as an executive producer.

The show has been able to relate to audiences, including those who are children of immigrants, and the differences they see growing up in the US and how their parents grew up in a different culture.
