I found him to be really annoying (and as an Aziz fan I have a high tolerance.)
The acting is so unnatural and I found the ancillary characters uninteresting - except for his Dad of course! His mom is a better actor than the people they cast as his friends.
but I felt season 1 dragged on. I'm a big fan of Aziz Ansari's stand ups (at least his earlier ones). But I felt Aziz beat the whole "look at me my parents were hard working immigrants but now I'm white-washed with loads of first world problems but at the same time I can't make things work with my white gf due to cultural differences" schtick damn near dead.
Maybe it's me being an American-born son of Indian parents as wel that made me find the show tiresome, but I found that many of my Indian/Asian and non-Indian/Asian friends enjoy the show alike.
Even so, Aziz bringing in his parents to crack the usual line of Indian-FOB jokes but in a poorly acted way made for some bad television.
But again, I know I probably speak for the minority opinion.
Atlanta is a show I'm intrigued by. I saw the first episode and loved it never got around to watching the rest. I tend to be that way with TV shows in general, though.

I had the exact same take on the show. After the first few episodes, it got really repetitive.
Shame, too, since Ansari is hilarious. I think if he went in the general Seinfeld direction that show could have potential.
Pete Holmes is simply a likeable dude and this show had a cool concept. TJ Miller truly went in. This show just has real potential although it might not be Pete every season, shouldn't be lol Fuck Leif

"Crashing" on HBO gets a second season. I've only seen the first episode. Decent. Schitt's Creek gets a season 4.

He's got the ratings so I wouldn't expect them to, I just didn't find it funny after awhile. In fact, not just not funny but tedious.
