My wife and I did the same and reacted basically identically to you and yours. I think the problem is that the show is usually novel in its approach to a given subject, so turning into an earnest love/drama just emphasized the cliches for us. It didn't help that the next to last ep was a double length one, so the whole of the last two episodes was basically just a movie. When we started the show, we were happy that Francesca was just his good friend, since it's easy to assume like, immediately, that the show would go down the usual route. If the first 8 episodes had been the whole season and those last two were some sort of unrelated movie, the show would've been way better off for it. I don't wish that the last two eps weren't around at all, since they were well shot and interesting enough given different context, but as it stands they just kinda stick out. If they stood on their own and we got two more appropriate episodes of Master Of None (or even just the 8), I'd have a much better feeling coming out. Also the Chef Jeff storyline end was kinda annoying in a similar sort of way, but it was minimal for the most part anyhow, so I'll give it a pass.

the whole thing. Ultimately the whole build up of their relationship felt both realistic, and obviously idealized--sorry Aziz, but that girl was way too perfect and drop-dead gorgeous to be believable for you. It's like Favreau and ScarJo in 'Chef' all over again.
