Three episodes into the new season of "Master Of None", and I'm reminded why I loved season 1 so much. This is just a perfect little show. Every episode feels like it was written and directed by Woody Allen, and Ansari has a masterful comic touch.

Yes! I love this show. Also big bud Eric Wareheim's dynamic with lil' bud is just fantastic.

Yea, I'm enjoying it as it really hits where I feel I'm at in life right now.

I'm liking Master of None, but I can't get over how stilted the dialogue still is. Most of it feels like line readings, and there's so much unnatural space between lines in the conversations.

I agree that every actor seems very stilted in the show. However, I get used to it as I'm bingeing.  And the second season of MoN is worth bingeing.

Four episodes in and I am struggling to care about this season of Fargo. There are some wonderful performances and some great humor, but the story just isn't compelling. I'm also bummed that Carrie Coon's character gets so little screen time (save the second episode).

I hope this is heading for some weird Repo Man-esque antics, but I might hop off the train before it gets there.

I can't imagine that there will be better one-off TV episodes better than "I <3 New York" or "Thanksgiving" on Master of None, season 2.

I wasn't immediately hooked like i was for season 2 but I'm all in now after the first 4 episodes. It's everything i expect from Fargo.

Fargo still has promise, but I see the frustration. Certainly doesn't have the punch of season 2.

It's The Americans that I'm sour on this season.

Didn't care for I <3 New York, but Thanksgiving blew me away. Then Amarsi un Po was really beautiful.
