they are his real parents. giga was fucking with me.
I don't think it was spot on at all. My parents would have slapped me upside the head and yelled at me if I refused to help them. Pretty sure all of my Asian friends would say the same thing. Other then that it was pretty true though
Fucking giga.

Really? Ironically, both of them are portrayed the same age as I am right now, and I have serious doubts that a 60+ year old parent will slap upside the head of their 30 year old son. Yell? Probably. The disgruntled flashback of them knowing what they've been through and reflecting how different it is for their kids, much more conceivable.

i'm wondering if i'll be able to watch jessica jones with my mother. she enjoyed daredevil very much.
I thought Hello Ladies was a lot more by-the-numbers obvious comedy, personally. A lot of chuckes, but rarely a proper belly laugh in my time watching it.
This show, however, I've been in stitches a few times at some of the less inyourface jokes & I'm finding it a lot more charming too, though I'd put Happy Endings, Community, Kimmy Schmidt & Parks above it on charm-factor.

yeah most of my close friends are either 1st gen or immigrants themselves and Im an immigrant and it just felt fucking spot on. All my friends I talked to about it agreed. That ep had me dying
I made the decision early on to not watch Jessica Jones with my mom. I ain't dealing with that awkwardness

Not a Aziz fan but the show is legit. Show made me realize I need to add a down lesbian to my squad. Great production values as well.

Some episodes. Others are by Aziz.
I'm not watching Luke Cage blow Jessica's back out with my mom

but we don't know how graphic it's going to be.
"blow her back out"...haven't heard that before

The unfaithful episode was alright. I thought Dev in his underpants with that little potbelly was hilarious.
Aziz' outfits are on point though. Has dope taste in jackets.

Just finished that one (episode 6) and had to come comment. What a sweet, heartfelt episode. Such great interaction between the two. Very entertaining. Favorite so far!

Just finished it. Really enjoyed this show. It felt in touch with culture of our time and of course also had some hilarious moments. Would absolutely watch more of this if they ever continued it!
Episode 5 was great,
, the show seems to have one hilarious joke per episode to me til this one,it turned out to be one of the funnier one's with Colin Salmon adding an odd but funny story line.
Episode 6 was good, basically a 30 minute Richard Linklater film by way Aziz Ansari, funny and cute but not overbearingly so.
Episode 7 was good as well, I'm liking how self contained the episodes can be, they focus mostly on one subject and it works well like in this episode.
I'm not really getting the 'Louie' vibes that some of you are going on about, the feel is so different
the King Kong Banana Split gag was hilarious

HA, that is a great way to frame it, and no doubt one of the reasons I loved it so very much.
Really dig that it wasn't trying to be cynical. Modern culture really pushes a lot of "trying to out-blasé each other", whereas this was very happy to regularly celebrate the good moments in life.

man this show is by far the best thing aziz ansari's ever been involved in imo. i'm pleasantly surprised seeing as how I found parks and rec merely decent at it's peak and his standups kind of corny.

Just finished Ep 8 ("Old People"/Grandma Carol). This show is amazing. Not hilarious all the time, but it has moments, and the emotions are super real
One of my favorites of the year by far

yeah i feel the same way
parks and rec was always a solid 7/10 for me
his stand up was so and so but master of none is pretty top tier
I get more 500 Days of Summer vibes than Louie from this tbh

Just watch 500 Days for the first time this morning. That is such an accurate comparison

Decided to give it a shot today, ended up seeing the whole thing. Really good.

Yeah, all my friends have agreed with it too.
My parents may have done that when I was a teenager but in my twenties, they'd just yell or just look at me with disappointment.
Just got to episode 9. That was a lovely bottle episode. A lot of this show hits close to home.

the last 5 minutes of the last ep was both subtly hilarious and genius.

Does anyone else find it funny that Aziz's character is an Indian commercial actor
but has like the flyest clothes and a sweet ass apartment in New York?

Just dropping by to say this show is awesome. Binged it on a day or two, no regrets. Anasari made himself the perfect show. A way more balanced character than Tom Haverford for sure, I want more of this.
Not sure how much money there's in that business, but he does seem to do pretty high profile commercials.

I work at a production company. There's no way he's making that much lol

He had a major national commercial that ran for a while. That can pay quite well.

That's the only thing that threw me off. Money is not a factor to his character and if it isn't, why not think that the world is your oyster?
I guess that engenders my main problem with the show which is that everything flows too neatly. There's no real consequence for a show that portrays a lot of the choices the characters make as risky. It's a nice fantasy, but real life is much messier.
That being said, I don't really think those issues bring the show down. It was true about a lot of things and on a broad enough level to make sense to everyone in the target audience. The show knew what it wanted to be and pulled it off with a ton of charm and style. The soundtrack is probably the best I've heard from a TV show. It's definitely my favorite sitcom of the fall.
And I know it might be a stretch, but I'm hoping

Yeah I found that odd as well.
But that typically goes with shows in New York... It's like everyone can afford everything in such an expensive city.
I also thought a lot of the characters were overtly confident about them selves... But I guess that's kind of what our generation is known for.

Finished last night. I have some issues with the way things ended up how they did but overall loved this show.
