You’ve certainly heard people talking about Master of None, the popular American Netflix streaming series, because Master of None is one of those shows that people watch and rewatch, especially the scenes set in Modena early in the second season!
Yes, that really happened. Aziz Ansari, the series’ creator and star, came to Modena to take a break from his normal life and to learn everything he could about the art of making fresh pasta.
But let’s back up a moment.
Master of None is the story of thirty-something Dev Shah. His life in New York includes an on-again, off-again girlfriend, a very traditional Indian family, racial prejudice, friends, and career goals, all of which the series explores with light-heartedness and gentle irony.
In the second season, Dev finds himself in the midst of an existential crisis, and he suddenly decides it’s time to learn the art of pasta making. And where does he go for his apprenticeship? To Modena, obviously.
