00:00Hey, naturally curly world. I'm Evelyn. Welcome to Watch and Go, the show where we review things that we watched while we do our wash and goes. We do our hair care routines. In this episode, I am going to review Master of None, Season 2.
00:30Products. I am going to detangle my hair. Hmm, because it is rough. With whatever I have left over of the DivaCurl One Condition Decadence Conditioner, Anassi Naturals Soothing Mint Clarifying Shampoo, Obia Naturals Babasoo Deep Conditioner, Camille Rose Naturals Coconut Water Leave-In, with the Styler,
00:59Shea Moisture, Satcha Inchi Oil, Omega-369 Rescue Plus Repair Twist and Lock Gel with Quinoa and Rose of Jericho Extracts. Girl!
01:12Master of None is a Netflix original show by comedian and actor Aziz Ansari. You might know him from Parks and Rec. He was Tom Happerford. Was that his name?
01:25It centers a lot around relationships, romantic relationships, the relationship you have with your friends, the relationship you have with your parents as you get older.
01:36I will say that it is shot beautifully. It really made New York seem like a pleasant place to live. Season 1 ended with him going to Italy, and Season 2 begins with him in Italy,
01:51in which we find a new love interest, who is this Italian girl. She is not interesting. She is very beautiful in Italian.
02:00I'm really struggling to encapsulate, encapsulate. I realized that Master of None is not a good show from a plotline perspective.
02:15Everything I love about Master of None has nothing to do with Aziz, his shenanigans. I enjoy his parents, because it's his real parents who play his parents in the show.
02:27They remind me of my parents. But other than that...
02:30So for example, my favorite episode in Season 2 of Master of None was the Thanksgiving episode. And that is where Denise, played by Lena Waithe, it's like the story of her coming out to her mom.
02:45And her mom is played by Angela Bassett. What?
02:49Dev was still there. You know, it kind of showed their friendship of how Dev and Denise grew up together.
02:54I don't know. I felt more emotionally attached to a not main character in one episode than I felt for Dev, Aziz's character, in the entire Season 1 and Season 2.
03:11I used to be one of those people that thought Master of None was the greatest thing ever, just rave reviews all across the board.
03:19And then, especially with Season 2, and the boringness of the whole Italian girl.
03:25I can't even remember what her name was. And I watched this last night.
03:30And I realized, oh, it's just diverse. That's what I was in love with. I wasn't in love with the plot, because it's not that compelling or interesting.
03:40I was in love with the fact that there were people of color everywhere. They were the extras. They were in the foreground. They were in the background.
03:48They were in characters that were important. They were in characters that didn't really end up meaning anything.
03:53Oh, so this is this feeling that I'm feeling inside. Inclusion.
03:57Okay, so I'm going to wash my hair. And I'll be back.
04:04I'm going to apply my Obie Naturals Baba Sue deep conditioner. Obie is my cousin, in case you didn't know.
04:12He does meet this black British girl in Italy. And I wanted them to explore that avenue. What about that avenue, Aziz?
04:23She seemed, I mean, I'm biased. But she seemed a lot more interesting than, I'm going to just call her Limoncello.
04:31What's the name of that soda?
04:34Pellegrino.
04:36We're going to call her Pellegrino.
04:38So, I am going to let this deep conditioner sit in my hair. And I'll come back with my final thoughts, which is really, I mean, girl, you'll see.
04:47In review, I give Master of None season two, and I mean Master of None in general. In terms of content, I would give it a firm three.
05:00In terms of the refreshingness of including non-white people in everyday stories, I would give it a five.
05:10And I think people are so enamored by the second part, by the diversity, that they forget that it's not really that interesting.
05:22If they asked me to be on Master of None, you know I'd be on that show in a heartbeat.
05:26Again, it would only be because I appreciate feeling like I see myself as a person of color, as a first generation American.
05:34You know what I'm saying, with immigrant parents and ting.
05:38So, they are definitely lulls.
05:40Definitely people that I don't care about.
05:42Sorry, Pellegrino.
05:44That's my review.
05:46Let me know if you feel the same.
05:48We post, watch, and go every Wednesday.
05:51So, subscribe, like, and stay tuned, and we'll see you next week.
05:55Bye.
