6 reasons how 'Master of None' is pretty much your life


Aziz Ansari’s Master of None, a Netflix original series, is a swift kick in the reality for 20- and 30-somethings alike.

In what could easily be the Millennial Seinfeld, Ansari and friends deal with the mundane details of day-day-to life, tackling the issues of relationships, family and careers with comedy.

Here are 6 moments from Season 1 that capture what young adulthood is all about now.

1. When you go home and everyone asks about your love life

OK, maybe Lila is a child, but she reacted to Dev's repetitive question the same way we all want to when the relatives all break out with, "Are you seeing anyone?" over the holidays.

2. And your friends are all having kids

but you're just over here like:

3. Then your ex tells you how great his/her significant other is

4. You're totally single by choice ... for your career and stuff

You totally want to work harder, but you're always busy.

5. OK, for someone who's 'always busy' you sure do spend a lot of time on Facebook...

Ok. You should get off social media for a while. Hmm. You know what's <i>not</i> social media...

6. Aaaand just like that, you binged the whole season on Netflix.

So you started watching Master of None and binged the whole season in two nights, including the episode where the gang binges on Sherlock. It was binge-ception.
