It’s as endearing as any domestic tableau could aim to be. They keep each other up at night with hypothetical pillow talk about licking armpits to keep each other alive. They fold laundry and dance to “Everybody Everybody.” They have chickens. They’re at home together, with each other. The couple knows each other’s rhythms and ticks. They have a quiet life, and Ansari - who directs all five episodes - takes his time establishing the ordinary bliss they share. Alicia is working at an antique shop in hopes of breaking into interior design. Now a celebrated author, Denise has bought the beautiful rustic home they now share together in upstate New York. In the season’s first episode - one of only two that runs upwards of 35 minutes - we’re introduced to Alicia and reintroduced to Denise. The two women have built a beautiful life together that neither feels fully at home in, and ultimately, that’s what the season is about - finding, building, keeping, and yearning for the comforts of domestic life. Originally a story about Dev (Aziz Ansari), his budding acting career and his romantic foibles, the show’s long-awaited third season - now subtitled “Moments in Love” - picks up years later and instead focuses on Denise (Lena Waithe) and her marriage to Alicia (Naomi Ackie).Īlicia is new to the audience, but her relationship with Denise illuminates key ideas about queer love, heteronormativity, and monogamy. It’s been four long years since the critically lauded Master of None has dropped a new season, and a lot has changed both within and outside the show in that time. ![]()
