3 reasons why Aziz Ansari took his critically acclaimed new show 'Master of None' to Netflix

Aziz Ansari's new series, "Master of None," found its home at Netflix for several reasons.

The former "Parks and Recreation" actor and co-creator/star of "Master of None" participated in a Reddit AMA session on Thursday. During the AMA, Ansari explained why the streaming video service was the perfect place for the series, which critics have rated the best new show of fall.

Co-created with Alan Yang, "Master of None" follows Dev (Ansari), a commercial actor looking to make the leap to TV and film. Along the way, viewers meet Dev's ecclectic group of friends, his parents (played by Ansari's real mother and father), and the women he dates.

Here's why "Master of None" landed with Netflix (in Ansari's words).
