Forget the Louie comparisons: Master of None (http://www.tvinsider.com/article/54960/give-kurt-sutter-credit-for-recognizing-it-was-time-to-end-the-bastard-executioner/) has a lot in common with Sex and the City — except for the diversity. As Allison Herman points out, "That’s because both Master of None and Sex and the City take place in a fantasy of New York, one that’s all the more compelling for being recognizable as the actual city rather than a studio soundstage, à la Friends.” She also notes how both comedies use friends as "more constant and reliable companions than the romantic partners we’re conditioned to think of as our endgame.”
