This particular episode, Parents, written by Ansari and Alan Yang, won an Emmy this week for outstanding writing for a comedy series, and deserves serious applause. They end up going to see Dev’s dad and, after finding out a little about his backstory, decide to take their parents out to dinner. The histories of the immigrant parents are predictably varied coming from different worlds and cultures, but the intersections are natural. “You realise fun is a new thing, right?” Dev’s father asks. Their first-generation sons, meanwhile, comparing them to demonstrative “crazy nice” white folks, feel emotionally withdrawn from their own parents.
