Atlanta (Donald Glover, FX) TV Show • Page 47

All caught up now. The bottle episodes are amazing.

 

This was the best episode of the season. Perfect show.

 

Overall really enjoyed the most recent ep, but i did feel like some of it was kind of too broad (“after this, is racism over?”). Not that the show has ever been especially subtle.

That said, i love the dreaminess of the season and the class element of the commentary being examined from this new angle of the core characters success.

 

Great episode. Darius’ storyline really hit a solid funny/sad in between. Perfect example of how the often boasted “melting pot” aspect of some countries becomes ruined by appropriation and gentrification.

 

We’re all from some hood

 

I’m wondering if the dude who gave Earn the new room has done voicework. He sounded just like the announcer from Destiny Crucible

 

such a good episode but man I can't stop thinking about Cancer Attack. maybe my favourite episode of the whole show

 

Finally caught up on the season. The last three episodes in particular were fantastic. I was dying at the "Racism will be over by 2024!" line. The Alfred & the kid's one on one in the stolen phone episode was such a beautiful, quiet moment. The payback episode was also great. I loved how every white person was digging deep into their ancestry.com to try and prove they've played no part in racism.

 

I’m just now starting S3 and the first episode fucking rocked

 

apparently this has been something Donald has thought about for awhile

 

Really interesting one. The Chet Hanks stunt casting was genuinely hilarious, and the story of the rich white parents not really knowing their kids that well and being surprised when they're more ingrained in the culture of whoever actually raised them was one I haven't really seen tackled very much. The ending was creepy as hell too, I basically took it as the "ghost" of Sylvia showing them that she was basically his real mother? That's how I interpreted it at least, ghosts have been an extremely common theme this season

 

Thought the first half of this episode was a bit slow, but it got a lot better once they were at the funeral

 

I’m a bit torn on the anthology episodes. I’ve really enjoyed each one, but I can’t honestly say I prefer any episode of Atlanta that doesn’t feature the characters I love so much.

But I think I’ll like this season more as an entire body of work when it’s done — it’s just hard not to be a little disappointed tuning in and realizing there’s no Paper Boi or Darius, no matter how brilliant the one-off episode ends up being.

 

This was the weakest of the stand alone episodes for me, but still solid. Loved the Chet Hanks cameo and just the cluelessness the parents had to their own child along with their struggle to relate to anything relatively outside their comfort zone.

 

Honestly I like all the standalones more than the normals at this point. But every episode has been stellar this season.

 

Great ep but yeah I wanted to see more of Van and what’s going on with her

 

The stand-alone episodes have been great. Major Black Mirror-type vibes.

 

As good as they are, I think I'd enjoy the stand alone episodes bit more if they were part of an anthology show where each ep follows different people/stories. I probably wouldn't say that if the main cast wasn't so damn good in the regular eps. I just want to see more of the bs that Earn, Darius, and Al get themselves into each week and it feels like the stand alones take away from that a bit even if they are great.

 

can anyone tell me what the image was that was texted to the white guy at the funeral?

 

I think it was an anus?

 

A "white asshole"

That's how I interpreted it at least

 

That did not even cross my mind, good call

 

did not enjoy this episode at all, first miss all season for me. laughed when the dude tried the spicy mango but that was about it

 

Yeah this is where I'm kinda at, it's odd that there's never been a single anthology episode like this and now all of a sudden 3/7 so far are anthology episodes. Feels like a COVID move (I know they said they wrote it all before then, but eh).

My other gripe is the official episode descriptions on Hulu not being actual episode descriptions and just comments about the episode. Rick and Morty does this too.
