Master Of None: 10 Reasons It's The Most Underrated Netflix Original Series

4. It Has Gorgeous Cinematography (Not Only For A Sitcom)

The first season already showed the ambitions of the creators of creating something bigger, unseen before. The show was shot in large part outside, on the streets, and it had a dream-like quality about it that is rarely found in sitcoms. This aura is best conveyed in the second season, in the Thanksgiving episode, which presents past in a "foggy" way. It almost physically separates the innocent past from the more serious present.

Coming back to the great cinematography, the praise regarding it especially applies to the second season and the aforementioned episodes The Thief and New York, I Love You. The former is in black and white and looks like an old movie, with shots almost taken from critically-acclaimed Italian pictures of the 1940s. The latter would put many indie classics to shame. Honestly, these two episodes provide the viewer with a truly cinematic experience.
