MASTER OF NONE
After a four-year hiatus, MASTER OF NONE (trailer here) returned with a stunning Season 3 that focuses on Denise (played by Lena Waithe, who’s also a writer on the show), a supporting character in the previous two seasons. A radically progressive departure from its previous seasons starring Aziz Ansari, which had much more of a comedic undertone, Season 3 follows the relationship of Denise and her wife Alicia (played by Naomi Ackie) in a breathtakingly intimate examination. A nod to classic arthouse cinema, this season is beautifully filmed in a 4:30 aspect ratio, and doesn’t shy away from long, wide and static shots. I found myself swept up in the nuanced writing, the powerful performances, and the introspective depiction of love. So if you want to check out something gorgeous that gets you in your feelings after, go watch on Netflix!
