Master of None - a sample of life

 


Dev is an actor. He fights to make a living out of his acting gigs while deals with his personal life and emotional growth. A character anyone can relate to.

The show is about more than personal development, though. It focuses on trending topics such as racism, sexism, lonely elders, and so many others explored in a simple, straightforward way. 

Decisions, the basis of life

Through most episodes, we watch Dev struggling with the life decisions he has to make. Who never? I’m sure that most young adults can relate to the tough calls sometimes we must make because now we are adults. And, what does that means? Who knows? Most of us don’t feel any wiser than before.

Dev shows so many doubts before the options life has for him. He doesn’t know what’s best. What he really wants? That can change quicker than we would like to admit.

It is time to make decisions. It is hard the feeling that time is running low. It’s hard to know that you’ll not have the same amount of options later if you choose wrong now. Can't you relate?

Master of None is quite realistic, and I feel that it is the greatest quality of the show. That’s life.

It’s very much… life.

This show is very much like life itself. Things don’t always go well to Dev, as they don’t to any of us. He doesn’t reach anything outstanding, but he doesn’t get anything horrible either. Dev is just living, one day after the other, trying his best in each one of them.

Master of None is a light, funny show that deserves that you take a look. I, personally, liked it. It is not the kind of show I’d binge-watch, but it is a good show.

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting. ...

Young Sheldon – A Heartfelt and Hilarious Journey

  Young Sheldon is a delightful surprise, blending humor, heart, and a touch of nostalgia. As a prequel to The Big Bang Theory , the show offers insight into the childhood of Sheldon Cooper, one of the most iconic characters in modern TV.  A Show That Grows Beyond Sheldon While you may start watching due to curiosity about Sheldon's early years, it soon becomes clear that this is not just about his childhood.

House of the Dragon: Season 2 - a Matter of Good Characters

  As a fan of the original Game of Thrones , I approached the second season of House of the Dragon with high hopes. Unfortunately, I found it a bit boring compared to its predecessor.  The intricate political drama and the rich character development that made Game of Thrones a global phenomenon seem to be lacking here. Still, the show features some compelling characters who hold my interest. Daemon Targaryen Daemon Targaryen remains one of the most intriguing characters in the series. Although his arc in this season isn't as strong as before, he still commands the screen with his charisma and unpredictability.  Daemon's complex personality, oscillating between villainy and heroism, keeps viewers guessing his true intentions. His relationship with Rhaenyra and his struggle for power add depth to his character. He is, no doubt, a central figure in the unfolding drama. Aemond Targaryen Aemond steps into the spotlight in the second season, bringing a new level of intensity ...
