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.

Gen V Season 2: From Cameos to Confidence

I wasn’t a huge fan of Gen V ’s first season . For me, it lived more on cameos and ties to The Boys than on its own merits. It often felt like an extended piece of world-building rather than a show that could stand on its own. Season 2, though, feels different. For the first time, Gen V is carving out its own identity. The storylines are more engaging, the stakes feel higher, and it’s not just hanging on the shadow of Homelander or Vought headlines.  The Highs and Lows of Performance That said, not everything works. The acting is uneven—some scenes land with the intended emotional weight, but others feel awkward enough that I wondered how they made it past editing.  On top of that, the show piles on so much interpersonal drama and mystery that it occasionally slips into Scooby-Doo territory: a gang of young heroes pulling at conspiratorial threads, but without enough grounding to keep every subplot compelling. A Thoughtful Tribute One aspect the show handles beautifull...

Zero Day (Netflix): When Power, Fear, and Truth Collide

  What happens when society’s most terrifying vulnerability—our digital infrastructure—suddenly collapses?  Netflix ’s political thriller Zero Day dares to explore exactly that. Starring Robert De Niro as former U.S. President George Mullen, alongside Angela Bassett , Lizzy Caplan , Jesse Plemons , and Dan Stevens , this six-part miniseries blends conspiracy, paranoia, and deeply human drama into a story that feels both timely and unsettling. A Premise That Feels Too Possible The series kicks off with a catastrophic cyberattack that leaves the nation in chaos. It’s not just thrilling entertainment—it’s frighteningly plausible. Watching events spiral out of control, you can’t help but ask yourself: could this actually happen? Twists That Keep You Guessing From backroom deals to sudden betrayals, Zero Day is packed with sharp turns. You might think you know where it’s going, but the finale delivers a conclusion that’s both surprising and thought-provoking. Jesse Plemo...

The Handmaid’s Tale – From Brilliant to Frustrating

  When The Handmaid’s Tale first aired, it felt sharp, terrifying, and painfully necessary. I wrote about the first season as a dark and brilliant adaptation, one that used restraint, symbolism, and dread to tell its story. Now that I've finished the third season, my opinion has shifted — not wholly, but noticeably. The show is still good . Sometimes very good. But it also became frustrating, uneven, and less powerful than it could have been. June Osborne: From Survivor to Exhaustion Let’s talk about June (Elisabeth Moss, Mad Men ). I understand the idea behind her arc. She was meant to evolve — to become more confident, more assertive, more dangerous. A woman shaped by trauma who stops surviving and starts fighting back. On paper, it makes sense. On screen, however, it often doesn’t work. June becomes reckless to the point of irresponsibility. She repeatedly puts others in danger without seeming to fully care about who might be caught in the crossfire. Her actions feel impuls...
