After traveling abroad, Dev (Aziz Ansari) returns to New York to take on challenges in his personal and family life, a new career opportunity, and a complex, developing relationship with someone very meaningful to him.

Release Date: All 10 episodes will be released on Friday, May 12th.

Official Trailer.

Reviews:

Alan Sepinwall - Uproxx

Look, I can’t pick just one installment from the new season as the best and/or most representative, because they’re all great, and because most of them are great in incredibly different ways, as if Ansari and co-creator Alan Yang were determined to prove they’d transcended the “jack of all trades, master of none” cliché that provides the show with its title.

Matt Zoller Seitz - Vulture

Maybe the best description of this series that I’ve heard comes from a friend who keeps recommending it to others: “When I describe it to you, it sounds like one of the sitcoms where you would say ‘nothing happens.’ And it kind of is. But somehow everything is important.”

Jeff Jensen - Entertainment Weekly

Framed by the opener’s themes, the second season tells a well-designed story of character-driven comedy about the demeaning lengths we’ll travel and sink for livelihood and connection. The show now leads a new wave of artful, ribald cringe-coms — Catastrophe, Love, You’re The Worst — that work blue and bluesy to survey not just modern romance but the ethics of modern living.

Cast:

- Aziz Ansari as Dev Shah.​

- Eric Wareheim as Arnold Baumheiser.​

- Lena Waithe as Denise.​

- Kelvin Yu as Brian Cheng.​

- Fatima and Shoukath Ansari (Aziz's real parents) as... Dev's parents.​

About Spoilers:
Because Netflix is releasing all the episodes at once, please use spoiler tags to discuss anything related to the story. (I don't know for how long this will be, if anyone can help me with this one haha).

There you go. Enjoy.

 

[Luke_Wal]

I'm so unbelievably excited for this. Season One is one of my favorite seasons of TV ever - I can't wait to dive into this this weekend.

 

[MMarston]

Do we have an exact time for the release? I assume it's 12PST.

[Stumpokapow]

Wow, wait, judging from the cast list Noel Wells actually left the show? Wow.

 

[JTripper]

Just learned this new season is releasing tomorrow. Absolutely loved the first season so knowing this drops tomorrow makes my weekend. Pumped.

 

[valeo]

Wow, wait, judging from the cast list Noel Wells actually left the show? Wow.

Damn. I didn't know the names of the actors but I was hoping Noel Wells was Aziz' friend (apparently Eric Wareheim). Annoys me so much.

 

[Dereck]

On the first fucking page, that means I mean business, let's get it.

 

[Draper]

Wow, wait, judging from the cast list Noel Wells actually left the show? Wow.

Wait, what the fuck

 

[The Artisan]

I was up at 12 and just saw this was coming out, then I saw that it won't be till 3am.

I will enjoy this show some other time!

 

[Tankard]

So freaking excited. Master of None was one of the biggest surprises of last year, these reviews got me even more hyped to watch the new season later.

 

[Ledbetter]

Wow, wait, judging from the cast list Noel Wells actually left the show? Wow.

I actually haven't found any information about her returning the show. I want to believe that there's going to be a surprise about it, but in 3 hours we're going to find out.

Basically the chemistry between Dev and Rachel is what made S1 great. But with or without Noël, it seems from the critics that this season is good too.

 

[dcassell]

Aziz's dad makes me so happy in this show. I can't wait to watch this.

 

[Dynamite Ringo Matsuri]

Yesssss. One of my favorite series on Netflix. So happy this is getting an S2 and that it seems to deliver.

 

[stenbumling]

Season 1 was just incredible. Can't imagine season 2 topping it, but I'll enjoy watching them try.

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

Wow, wait, judging from the cast list Noel Wells actually left the show? Wow.

Was she supposed to be in season 2?

 

[Lulubop]

Was she supposed to be in season 2?

That's what I'm saying. Left? Seemed like the end of her chapter.

 

[Heckler456]

Hope there's even more Eric Wareheim!

 

[MMarston]

Hm, it's pretty much midnight, but I think I'll sleep this one off until tomorrow morning. I'll read some of you guys' impressions too.

 

[War Peaceman]

Wow, wait, judging from the cast list Noel Wells actually left the show? Wow.

I thought that her story was clearly resolved.

Though I wouldn't be surprised to see her appear in some final scene of this season.

 

[daffy]

Downloading this now for breaktime tomorrow!! Cant wait. Really enjoyed season one

 

[darklin0]

I am excited, glad I stuck with the show after that first episode.

 

[firehawk12]

Haha, the dating episode.

Wow, fake Bourdain. lol

 

[Boogs31]

2 episodes in and I'm really liking it. So far it's on par with season one. Really funny script, great chemistry between the cast, beautiful scenery, delicious looking food.

Episode 1 had a really fun homage to "The Bicycle Thief".

Really was digging the electronic soundtrack in episode 2.

 

[War Peaceman]

episode 3

Spoiler

Naveed is such a bad actor lol. But the dad doing the modelling poses

 

[CoolOff]

Nice hearing positive things about it. Will burn through it over the weekend.

 

[jon bones]

awesome! loved season 1

 

[War Peaceman]

It is way more experimental than season 1, for better or worse.

 

[JoJoShabadoo]

Season 1 was hit and miss for me. Aziz and his GF were good but the rest of the cast were pretty bad.

 

[killertofu]

Thought season one was pretty damn bland (besides Indians on TV and Parents).

Besides those two episodes, it's just another show about a late 20s/early 30s millennial.

 

[cubicle47b]

Episode 3 is fantastic.

 

[Jake.]

i loved the first season, but really hated his supporting cast of friends. none of them can act (including eric, sorry) to save their life.

edit: wearing $5k YSL jackets, head to toe BoO, etc when you're supposedly a struggling actor also bothered me a bit.

 

[kottila]

The first two episodes is almost like an aziz take on "the trip" (without the parodies)

 

[RockTurtle]

I had to sledge through the second half of season 1. The cast was just a dull blob of ho-humness with no energy and forced interactions.

Ill give season 2 a try but im not expecting something grand.

Allora...

 

[nOoblet16]

I'm liking this season, it's very different from the first and each episode is its own little thing. Episode 6 was a bit random and strange and I didn't see the point of it tbh.


Also Francesca is very cute.

 

[Chase Lebowski]

Damn, his italian is very very good. A bit goofy, but that's the way he is, and far better then 99% of the time someone pretends to be italian in a US movie.

 

[LionPride]

I'm excited for this. Watching now

 

[SamVimes]

Damn, his italian is very very good. A bit goofy, but that's the way he is, and far better then 99% of the time someone pretends to be italian in a US movie.

The script in Italian didn't sound natural at all though. Talking about the first episode, which is the only one I've watched.

 

[J@hranimo]

Oh snap, I thought this dropped next Friday not today! Definitely need to watch.

 

[Chase Lebowski]

Yeah some parts were off.

And I'm very impressed by Alessandra Mastronardi.

 

[Spitz]

5 Episodes in loving it so far the music is ace must add more 80s stuff in my playlists.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Watched episode 1. So glad this is back.

 

[Karu]

Not done yet, just finished the Thanksgiving Episode, but so far this season has been crazy good. The dating app ep was ridiclious.

 

[chaislip3]

Halfway through the season, and it's really great. I think I might like it more than season 1.

 

[Auctopus]

Wow, wait, judging from the cast list Noel Wells actually left the show? Wow.

The message that was trying to be communicated at the end of S1 was for Aziz to live for himself/follow his streams. That's what's Noel Wells character did so it would be sort of weird for her to just come back unless they've been filming in Tokyo as well.

I liked the intention of this, in giving voice to lots of little people in NYC but it just wasn't that entertaining until the final group.

 

[firehawk12]

This season felt a bit like the "Woody Allen" season of Louie, particularly in the second half. I'm not sure which season I liked more... although episode 6 is pretty great.
