Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

bisho27 Actually this TV show is super good. It's not a pute comedy, it has this very well balanced mix of drama and comedy "there isnt lots of drama and not lots of comedy". It really depicts lots of aspects we face in real life, thats why its engaging and you can binge watch it. "The comedy touch helps alot"

crazyleonard My Favorite show... Actually just a top 4 show of mine.................

Matt Johnston I waited until I finished the second season to review this one, partly because I wanted to give it as much chance as possible. In a nutshell, yes, it's funny and it's well written and acted. It's by no means "roll on the floor funny" though. Rarely did I laugh out loud or feel the need to re-watch a funny scene (bad habit of mine). It looks like I'm not in the majority, by any means, with most people falling all over themselves to praise it, and although I DO enjoy the series, it doesn't meet the high expectations of a show with so many high rated reviews. Watch it, and if you don't go in with any expectations, you'll be happy and like the show too.

screechy_jim I like Azia Ansari, he's a pretty good stand up comedian but wasn't sure how this show was going to pan out. Generally, I really like it, but I can't say I understand all the acclaim or rave reviews as it even though it is certainly improving, it still has a way too go before reaching the real potential that is on offer here.Early episodes were average but there is a lot more substance to season two with good plot and character development bringing a far better rendition of an early skeleton presentation. I think a vacuum in the market with any racially diverse material can be partly attributed to the success of this one. Ansari and Yang have done a good job to capitalise in this area, but it still needs more work.The show is funny, there is a genuine good humour that pervades even in the episodes that deal with some of Dev's more pressing issues. I love the way they have realistically embraced aspects of city life outside those tackled by other more mainstream sitcoms and Dev's life has a far more realistic feel to it than those generally portrayed on TV. There is no question that Ansari & Yang are great writers, but I think they need some staff writers on board to help flesh this one out a bit. Their style is a little too rigid for my liking and I think some input from elsewhere would go a long way to expanding their notions, building on the comedic potential and making this a better production.As I've said, for the most part this is a pretty good show. Production quality is great and this one could go places if the production team plays their cards right. However there are some real problems with the show too. Most notably the acting. Ansari is a great stand up comedian but his acting is leaving the production wanting. Casting himself in the main role may not have been the wisest thing to do but I do understand why it made sense with a vanity production.He plays the quirky fun loving guy with lots of expression quite well, but needs to tone done the physical aspects of his performance and dial in a more proportionate delivery for TV. On a stage when physical emphasis really underscores delivery, especially with stand up, I understand, but in main stream TV constantly gesticulating like a street mime while using the range of facial expressions more appropriate for a mother and toddler group just doesn't work that well. I think a little direction would go a long way fixing this and bring a more polished performance in line with the show's other good aspects.Lena Waithe who plays his gay childhood friend Denise is another poor choice. Her acting really has few redeeming qualities and her lines are always forced and her performances awkward. This makes her character obtuse and an ill fit to pretty much every scene she's in. The Thanksgiving episode nicely highlights some of the issues faced by gay individuals in the American black community. Angela Bassett is excellent as always, and does a great job with her cameo as Denise's mother, but Waithe is once again the weak link in a very strong chain of performances. Thankfully she is featured less in series two and the best thing that could be done is to re-cast her role in season 3.There is absolutely no hope for the actors who play Dev's parents especially the mother. It's as if she's reading from a teleprompter. yes its that bad. That dad has his moments but is still clearly out of his depth. Way into season two the casting team/person/party, still haven't picked up that they are killing every scene they are in. The rest of the cast is really good and there are some great performances which really emphasises the disparity between competence levels in the cast.In my opinion the show has too much emphasis on racial issues, or perhaps makes too much of some of them. I understand that such issues exist and much of them should be addressed but the show seems to want to crusade every instance of racial difference that occurs in everyday life. I'm certainly no authority on societies racial mappings but I think this show has a disproportionate perspective to the tolerances experienced in everyday life and a lopsided criteria on what often constitutes racism. Sometimes saying a black guy is a black guy is just being honest, upfront and certainly not racially motivated.That's pretty much it from me. I still really like the show and certainly recommend it. Yang and Ansari are really on to something here but in its current form its still a bit like the great invention that's been constructed in a garden shed and needs some the refinement and tempering before going into production.Still gets the thumbs up.
