Giving game to lames since the 90s
Im not saying its bad...I sat through the first 3. But Wtf???? I'm on episode 4 and I don't even know what I'm watching anymore. I really wish they would have gave this a different name or something cause ive seen Aziz twice and this whole 4th episode is based on his friend's girlfriend and I don't even know her name. I guees they can go back to the Dev storyline next season but I just don't get the point or purpose of this lil mini season
I feel that if they swapped Lena and her girl for Aziz and whatever girl, but kept the same exact premise, that this season would've received universal acclaim.
Like if Arnold had that fight with a girlfriend at Aziz's house, and Aziz's girlfriend had a miscarriage that led to an eventual divorce, people would actually be talking about that.
Needless to say, i really enjoyed this season. I personally feel that the Francesca storyline was some bullshyt, so it's nice to see them take this step creatively. It's also only like 5 episodes, each of them a different total runtime.

Yeah I’m kinda bummed they didn’t go that route. It felt like they were building up to this when Arnold cautioned Dev on the possibility of the Francesca love interest becoming a total shytshow.
Either way, I’m glad with what we got and this grounded aspect was much needed. I agree. Past two seasons were good but were romanticized to a point where it felt like a millenial’s fantasy. Like, I often asked myself how Dev could afford to pay NYC rent in the first season.
How did Lena snatch this mans show like this?
wait this is about her? yeah im going to skip
Finished the season.
This was season was on point for me. I had NO idea what women had to go through to get pregnant through artificial insemination. That was a crazy episode.
I hope when they inevitably come back they do hop back into Dev’s story. But I enjoyed Moments In Love for what it is. The writing was phenomenal and that chick Naomi Ackie chick is about to be a STAR.

So this new season is about the dyke? 
It's literally called Moments in Love breh
Hit the nail right on the head.
Season 1 at least covered a pretty good range of topics, but I could imagine that the writers grew fatigued after they wrapped up season two. To have the storyline so driven by that flimsy relationship that was going nowhere quick, I'm really glad that they took this detour for at least five episodes.
What I'm realizing from reading through this thread, is that Master of None sort of became an 'easy' viewing show for many people. There's nothing necessarily wrong with that, however it does help make sense of the reception so far. Again, I applaud how ambitious they were in taking a shocking step away from everything that made this show so popular in the first place, and I really enjoyed the final product as well.
I see it as a deeply personal piece of work. The first two seasons were clearly more naive and innocent in their portrayal of romance in your 30s, while this season carries a much more somber and serious take.
As it turns out, there are, in fact, much more serious things in life other than briefly running into your ex on the street, or not being able to get with the silly Italian woman you flirt with.
Stalling careers, miscarriages, divorce, and malaise from the uncertainty of it all, are just as real as all the good times enjoyed in the first two seasons.
"We used to have it so good. Running around New York, doing whatever we wanted, having fun every day. I never realized, how good I had it."
It's a theme I've spotted a bit more recently, but it's certainly not unique to this generation. Living a decadent life, only to become burnt out. We certainly see Dev going through that, and we also see Lena's character go through that, albeit both in different ways.
There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that they could've kept making the same show, but these episodes demonstrate their growth as writers and people.
