As much as i like him he is definately the weakest actor out of the main 4, looks like hes sleeping half the time.


I kinda think that part of the point of his character.:patrice:

I don’t think he’s supposed to be portrayed any other way. Like so many other cats are kinda over the top but he plays it straight..... typically like someone really would in the situations he’s put in

I’m not even sure it works or his character would fit if it was played any differently

I wouldnt say the weakest, but I just feel he got the acting nom and award because he was the biggest name of the cast.

Bryan tyree Henry was the star of the season if were being 100% real but i guess he wasn't #relatable enough lol.

I hope they let lakeith stanfield flex his skills and not just be the stoned philosopher, he has a lot of range.

Zazie is great too, I liked the episode focused on her.

The amount of talent on this show is crazy in front of and behind the camera. I hope they get what they deserve and it helps FX get more recognition as well


It’s not just that. It’s the fact that he writes, produces, and directs as well. Literally EVERY facet of the show comes from him. The judges and committees who usually vote on the Awards circuit love
auteurs. It’s why Anziz Ansari gets a lot of love for Master Of None when it could be argued he’s not the most interesting character on the show. It’s because the other characters were created and written BY him.

He writes himself as that character in damn near everything he makes :manny: it works to have a grounded person amidst the fukkery

Good points.

I'm just saying he deserves all the accolades but he got out acted (could have been by design).

Master of None is way overhyped imo. shytty acting across the board that really invalidates some strong writing :hhh:Aziz is constantly rejecting his own culture in favor of the white way and white women, which is a big negative for me and a reason why I feel it got so popular so fast.

This is a big reason why insecure and atlanta are better is that they fully embrace their culture and show how it effects each aspect of their life directly or indirectly, good and bad :wow::salute:. And in the midst of that insecure in particular still comes across relatable to all demographics with those realistic relationships and professional life :blessed:. Nobody dikking around going on trips, people gotta go to work everyday

Plus Aziz is getting his rape on :scust:. I guess that's one part of being Indian he couldn't let go :troll::pachaha:

I mean it's cool that a black breh got the role instead of white washing it, but this is a bad casting imo.

How is a black guy supposed to portray this guy in live-action?

One of the first scripts I ever wrote is wild eerily similar to this :ohhh: almost 5 years ago.

If anything, lets me know I'm at least 5 years ahead of these Hollywood dudes and it was a damn good idea :francis:
Do a webseries, and hopefully you'll get picked up by a network. Before issa Rae got insecure with hbo, she was doing her own web series called awkward black girl.

I got some stuff in the works and still writing. I have to give Donald Glover and Issa Rae a lot of credit for opening those doors
