I still have two episodes of Masters of None to watch so no spoilers but this fictionalized extension of the book Modern Romance shows Aziz Ansari in his glorious irony.
I strongly suggest reading the book first. Most books by comedians, even the good ones, are just written versions of routines or a riff on a topic that they are known for cracking wise about. Modern Romance is more sociological, more historical and more about his own life and family then it is funny. And that is despite the fact that it is really funny too. The chapter about breaking up in the modern age of smart phones and emoji’s is really illuminating about how different my crew of Gen X’ers handle life versus how the Millenials do. God how I hate typing those stereotypical words but they get the point across.
Once you have finished the book, move over to Netflix and watch Master of None. Inspired casting and big themes that can come across a little heavy handed if not for the fact that they aren’t talked about outside of Amy Schumer. Dealing with parents, dealing with sexism and how to date talked about in sitcom form but still bristling with points being made. Good stuff.
When it comes to beer, since phones are so prevalent in book and TV show, how about 805 from Firestone Walker or Goose Island 312 Wheat Beer would fit that bill and are both easy to find.
Food plays a role in both as well so how about a Jalapeno Sculpin from Ballast Point or Seme Della Vita from Monkish Brewing with pistachios.
Frankly any good session beer that you can drink while binge watching 10 episodes would work too.
