This feeling, every cinephile’s drug, settled on me during the closing scene of Master of None’s season 2 episode ‘The Dinner Party’ (dir.
Eric Wareheim), in which Dev (Aziz Ansari) gets an Uber home after another effervescent night out with ostensible friend Francesca (Alessandra Mastronardi).
I defy anyone who’s familiar with the late night Uber home not to feel work going on in their heart at this point.
The promise of a nice soft bed at home but not one warmed by a lover.
