Add Aziz Ansari's new series 'Master of None' to your Netflix queue, now

Aziz Ansari's new show Master of None made its debut this weekend on Netflix. It quickly became the talk of the TV-streaming town.

Like Ansari's stand-up routines, the show tackles themes around dating and relationships, how to be a functional adult, what success looks like, the role technology plays in our lives and how to find happiness.

Ansari plays Dev, an actor who does mostly commercials but is trying to land is first film role. The show opens with a bang — Dev is in bed with a lovely lady named Rachel (Noël Wells) when the condom breaks and they are off to the pharmacy to procure a Plan B pill. Dev, ever the gentleman, pays.

What makes the show unique from the stand-up routines or Ansari's recently-released book, Modern Romance: An Investigation, is the full-cast. The cast is incredibly relatable as well as far more diverse than most television shows.

Ansari's character is supported by his best friends: the token white friend, Arnold, who gives terrible advice (Eric Wareheim), his Taiwanese-American friend, Brian (Kelvin Yu) and Denise (Lena Waithe), his lesbian African-American friend who is constantly dishing out the best advice for all aspects of Dev's life.

Diversity is something Ansari comes back to time and time again. It doesn't get old, though, because you can tell that he is trying to push the dialog about representation of minorities in film, television and media forward. Consider Master of None an ode to people of all ethnicities and sexual orientations.

Personally, I am looking forward to seeing how the cast is further developed if more seasons are given the green light.

Also cast are Ansari's actual, in-real-life parents, Shoukath and Fatima.  His dad is such a dad. His mom gives his dad grief whenever talk of going to a Chinese restaurant comes up. It is an incredibly authentic portrayal of the American family in 2015.

The genuine nature of the writing and the acting is refreshing. The show was very clearly influenced by Ansari's late friend, Harris Wittels, who died of a heroin overdose in February. Wittels is listed as a producer for Master of None. He was also a producer on Parks and Recreation, the hit that introduced Ansari to mainstream audiences. 

If Master of None goes into a second season, how Wittels' death affected Ansari's writing and how he depicts friendships will be something to consider.

The first season is 10 half-hour-long episodes. I can attest that you can sit on your couch for five hours shirking all responsibilities to watch it and have zero regrets.

Throughout Sunday afternoon and evening, Ansari held a Twitter Q&A with fans. Below is a sampling of the tweets:
