dogg724's review sums up what I was thinking about this series when I explained to a buddy of mine how I feel about it. It just tries to be too many things at the same time, that's how I feel. A comedy, but with romance, and then the minorities squeezed in there, but also the slice of life parts with his job and family, all serving different aspects and facets of the show. This makes it one mashed blur afterwards and you don't really have really a highlight, because everything is half-baked because it tries to be so much. And when I think of the different parts of this show, I think of other movies/series that solely focus on those parts and for that they excel at it, making it memorable.
It's not a bad show per se, people liking Aziz will still dig the show and I think they get what they expect, kind of. The acting and format is great, as usual for a Netflix show. It's Aziz' first big show as a creator, and for that it's pretty okay. A lot of potential obviously there, but nothing he will have to regret in the future.
Overall it combines all the good thing about Netflix shows with a mash of different genres, maybe trying to serve to many people at the same time and that's exactly what it suffers from. Nonetheless a decent one-time watch, especially if you're an Aziz fan.
