Nandos...haha.

Van still....?

Again, what are you expecting? Van is on the poster. She's one of the main four cast members. It's a show about all four of them. Are they just supposed to send her home or not have her be part of the season? They're clearly building toward something with her.

---

I'm not saying she shouldn't be on the show, just that so far she has no real plot. I just am surprised she really hasn't done anything yet.

That makes sense….funny if she fell in love with Darius, who is the funniest character on the show.

Definitely wouldn't mind that either.

First episode was depressing/chilling/random as hell.

Second episode was great. The super nice police station/officers had me cracking up.

---

That actually reminded me of the Parks and Rec episode where Leslie gets arrested for fighting the Eagleton Parks Admin and ends up in the super nice/friendly Eagleton jail.

Haha yes. Totally forgot about that.

I just binged the first 3 episodes. Really enjoyed episodes 2 and 3, them being in Europe makes the show seem even more dream-like.

This show is so good. New episode tonight.

With Van, they're obviously building up to something. But in the meantime, her presence has been a bit unsettling and adds some anxiety to an already anxious Earn.

"you were white yesterday"

Interesting episode, felt like his take on a Black Mirror episode at times,
I suspect this thread may get wild

I'll say this, I feel like these non-main storyline episodes would be better off as a series or mini-series of their own.

I really dig these alternate episodes, but it's such a different vibe. Split them off and both series would be must see for me.

I don't think they have a different vibe at all. I think back to BAN from season 1 or the teddy Perkins episode and these have been part of the show all along, imo.

This honestly bought be my favorite episode ever which is really crazy cause there are so many amazing eps. The horror tone is so perfect though.

That was equal parts genius, darkly funny, and terrifying.

These hit different than prior seasons - and aren't set in the show's reality IMO.

Those episodes would also be examples of ones that would be better off being their own thing, is what we were saying. Its just an opinion

I mean my statement was just an opinion too. Neither one of us is wrong.

It would be awesome if they play out some other crazy chit going on in America, and then drop a line in the regular shows about what the hell is going on back in the US.

In Episode 3 with the fancy house, was the house owned by the investor that Earn had to hangout with or by the guy that Al played poker with? It seemed like the house of the guy that Al played poker with since he said he built the house around the tree and had a bedroom to retreat to, but then there was the picture of the investor's family with the black kid in the background that made Earn decide to be the manager for the kid scamming the investor. Was I the only one confused by this?

That's a damn good question - was it ever hinted at being two houses? My take was that the house/party described a liberal, white world that minorities now interact with.

The really rich dude playing poker owned it. The guy managing the kid that earn was with was an employee of some sort of the billionaire. Financial manager or something of that sort. He also had money, but not build a nandos in your house money.

Gotcha. I guess the picture of the investors family doesn't 100% make actual sense, but made sense for the story.

I gotta say that I LOL'd inappropriately hard during the assisted suicide scene in Ep. 2. I was half-ass paying attention and had no idea what was about to occur

The only two black guys left in the office are Willie and Lester….hahahaha.

You gotta be pretty old to get that one.

After looking up Nandos I need to find a reason to visit the DC area.

First it was hunting down that lemon pepper wet, no if it finding some boneless thighs and that peri Peri sauce.

Who do you guys think white Ernest from Ep 1 and 4 is supposed to be? Just Ern's subconscious giving an opposing point of view from what he normally thinks?

He's related to Earn in some way for sure, but the name also means "honest" right? And he's doing a huge portion of exposition in the episode so I think its a simple as he's the one white person who's being honest with himself about the situation. I think its possible he's foreshadowing for Earn as well. I would be really surprised if the show has a happy ending for Earn, so yeah.

These guys don't do **** on accident, so the name being so close is 100% on purpose.

WTF Socks??
