Woody Allen: Jerry Seinfeld and Demand Neuroses

woody allen: Less a topical harangue and mainly just a good hang, it promotes the idea that the pursuit of happiness is right up there with life and liberty, according to Hamilton Spectator. The templates set by Woody Allen and Jerry Seinfeld and Louis C.K. demand neuroses and irritable responses to the human condition from its New York funnyguy bachelors, yet Ansari's show cannot help but see extroverted sunshine and potential friendship around every corner, even when it stops to chronicle bouts of heartache and rejection. Yet Master of None, which returns to Netflix for a thoroughly enjoyable if less impressive second season on Friday, is just as noteworthy for being one of the chilliest shows around. Which is why season 2 opens on a note of such studied ebullience that Ansari had to film the first episode in black and white, lending it the dreamy, escapist feel of classic Italian cinema. Recall, if you will, that at the end of season 1, Dev was reeling from his breakup with Rachel No l Wells and for a brief moment it seemed he might chase after her to Tokyo. Like a Fellini short for foodies, we catch up to Dev in a suspended state of Bella vita in the small city of Modena, Italy, where he's serving as an apprentice to a matronly pasta maker.
