10 Best TV Shows Of 2017 (So Far)
7. Master Of None
Master of None was already a critical hit after its first season back in 2015 but, with its return to Netflix after a year off, it makes a big leap from good to great in Season 2.
It's rare to see a sitcom with so much ambition, and even more-so to see one pull it off. Master of None is a dreamy, artistic love-letter to everything from food to Italian cinema to New York City, but also contains one of the most true-to-life - and funny - commentaries on dating and relationships.
The show deftly handles topics around race and religion, doing so with equal amounts of humour and pathos, and in the second season Aziz Ansari (the show's creator) grows into his role as its leading everyman.
He's ably assisted by a fine cast of supporting and guest actors (including a brilliant turn from Angela Bassett), and the series itself just oozes with charm and confidence. Few other shows could have a black-and-white episode, another that goes through two decades of Thanksgivings and deals with coming out in such a measured manner, and yet another that leaves all the known characters behind to follow random stories across New York, including an extended, silent, and hilarious deaf sequence.
