Netflix Series: Master of None

Aziz Ansari, an actor of Indian descent, plays Dev, an actor of Indian descent, trying to find work in New York. He's constantly disgusted by the roles offered to him: taxi driver, owner of a 7-11. He refuses to do "the Indian accent thing" in auditions. He's considered for a buddy series (called "Three Buddies") but the producers also like another Indian actor, and they can't have two Indians on the same show or it'll turn into "an Indian show." "Why not?", he asks the casting director. "You can have two white guys on a show and it's not 'a white show?'"

Yet Ansari's series co-stars Lena Waithe as his black lesbian friend. No tokenism there.

The writing is kinda one-dimensional and sitcommy. In one episode he undertakes to watch a friend's kids for a couple hours, to see if he'd be interested in having kids someday, and they run him ragged. Oh ha-ha, didn't see that one coming.

But it has some funny lines, and pokes fun at all of the right targets.

And as Mrs. NoCo pointed out, there's not a single Indian girl on the show. Dev hooks up with several blondes, but never with someone his own color. This happens on African-American shows as well -- bagging a white chick is still, unaccountably, a status symbol.

His parents, on the show, are played by his real-life parents. They're perfect.
