    So I'm not a fan of Aziz Ansari at all, I actually find his comedy pretty easy and annoying, but I figured I'd check it out anyway. Anziz and some guy named Alan Yang that also worked on Parks & Rec came up with this. It's a meandering, life experience show. Actually decent when it's not stuck up its own a--- on a social issue.

    It's very good. There are moments where the writing and the acting don't work, but overall I really admired its heart and ambition. The storyline with his girlfriend felt surprisingly authentic. Far from perfect, but a recommended watch

    is the fact that the pilot was a--- not worthwhile input?

    Agreed. I've watched about 5 or 6 episodes and it's good. Some relatable moments and some literal laugh out loud scenes as well

    i knew the show was well received by the public but people whose taste i trust were shi--ing on it, and the pilot really was stale as f--- so i had 0 desire to keep watching

    but if swizz thinks its alright then why not

    i think swizz has a more refined taste than mano....like where Mano would watch TWD no matter how s-----y it got (and so would i, mind u), Swizz wouldn't

    This doesn't say much. If I start watching a show and it starts off ok but gets real s-----y I almost always finish watching it. There's only a handful of shows I literally couldn't stand anymore and it was mostly because of bad acting (Unforgettable, Revolution) :wow2: It's a bad habit

    EDIT: I wanna add that while I may not like every episode or storyline as much as the other on TWD, the acting is hardly ever unbearable (save Carl at the beginning of the show)
