"Master of None" has done a fantastic job at shedding light on some very harsh realities. From parent appreciation, to casual racism at Indians, to underlying sexism, it seems to be the show's trademark style. And this episode continues that train by making it about the titular subject: old people.
The episode primarily highlights our tendency to neglect, ignore, and trivialize old people, particularly the ones that we're related to. They're shut in to a retirement home and often, like Grandma Carol, aren't allowed to even go outside. As soon as they do, everyone panics, thinking that they can't support themselves in the real world, when in reality, the vast majority can.
But in terms of the episode itself, there were two highlights. The first, of course, is Parro, the world's cutest anything to ever exist. The second is the hilarious bathroom scene, particularly the line "so it's a white grandma, not an Indian grandma."
