I loved this show...
Just watched episode 1, but it lost me about halfway through.
White, liberal women are the worst. I fully understand that. I don't want an entire episode preaching at me about how awful white, liberal women are.
Does it better after that?

Eps 2 & 3 get back to the characters.
Sure hope so. Episode 1 was a total tap out, and boring.
Six was my favorite so far. Best "fish out of water" episode yet, and all the corporate bullsh*t was spot on/hilarious.
Starting to wonder, though, how Earn/Van are going weeks on end without either of them seeing their kid, and what kind of grandparents would be this cool looking after their grandkid for this long.

Felt more like the kind of episode that I think got most people interested in the show. This season has felt, to me, like it has featured paper boy a lot more than Earn, which is interesting.TCTTS said:

Yeah, this show is definitely a little too far up its own ass right now. I don't know what they're doing. Or, rather, I have an idea, it's just pretentious as hell.
It has started to make me wonder if he is not sure where he wants the actual story to go, or if he knows where but not how to get there.TCTTS said:

No episode has been even close to bad, it's just not what I personally enjoy in the show.
Every third episode (starting with the first) has been some kind of meditation in/vignette of relatively annoying, "privileged," or sometimes malicious white people having their lives upended by or harshly exposed to black culture. And if that pattern holds, it'll be four out of ten episodes devoted to episodes without the main cast. It's not the racial stuff that's bothering me at all, though - it's honestly scary how hilariously accurate some of that stuff has been - it's the pretentiousness in thinking your show that everyone knows and loves can do without its characters or plot that everyone knows and loves, for nearly half the season. I think Glover & co know exactly what they're doing/trying to say, I just think they got a little too high on their own supply, thought they could get super artsy/experimental, and we'd just go along for the ride no matter what. And look, I'm not knocking artsy/experimental in and of itself. I'm just saying, if you're going to go that route, at least do it with the characters/story we show up to watch each week. That shouldn't be too much of an ask.

I don't know if you have heard Glover in the past few years, but I get the impression that he's pretty narcissistic with anything he makes, and doesn't particularly care one way or another if people like it.
That last episode wasn't even very thought provoking like the other whites are bad episodes. That same scenario has been played out umpteen times.
Glad TC is finally coming around on my "why is Van" on the show this season, leaves her kid right before Christmas?
Kid is probably dead due to something caused by Whitey.

Yeah, I've heard all the interviews and what not. It's just that when he posts something like "Sopranos only ones who can touch us" on Twitter, it might help having an awareness that at least one Soprano was in every episode.
I honestly don't mind it. I can understand why it annoys some people, but I'm honestly here for whatever journey they want to take me on.
Glover basically said the show Dave is a good hamburger whereas Atlanta is Waygu Beef.
Hmm..infers Dave is a ripoff using other people's shows as the recipe. I see what he's saying but Dave is a damn good burger.
While Glover said "Dave" can be whatever it wants to be, he takes issue with that show being compared to "Atlanta." As Glover said, "I think in entertainment or art it's important to know the difference between things. Like, Anthony Bourdain wasn't pretentious, but he definitely knew the difference between a dry aged wagyu and a smash burger. Neither is better or worse than the other. They're just different experiences. And I wouldn't want to have either every day. But I would never confuse the two. I expect the same of my audience."
Glover used a food analogy to conclude his thoughts on "Dave," saying, "It's a good burger you should eat fast because the ingredients are fresh. By a guy who didn't study at a culinary school, but paid close attention to other burger spots and has the plug on good ingredients."

Felt like another twilight zone episode, which is fine. Idk, eps 1 and 7 were nowhere near as good as ep 4 IMO. That's a problem when you keep deviating from the main storyline, because you aren't even getting basic development with the characters and story. Also, I am starting to get the feeling of a home run hitter just at the plate, squatting and hacking away. First time I've had that feeling with Atlanta.
I thought the Chet Hanks cameo was pretty clever.
That was pretty good.
Now that there has been 3 out of 7 as one-off "Twilight Zone" type episodes without the main cast, I wonder if this is maybe a compromise between Glover and FX to give them a full season (and one more left) while dealing with how big the cast blew up and COVID the last few years.
Okay wtf was the airdropped photo during the funeral about? What even was it a picture of? I saw the send we was "Gooch Lickman" which is pretty funny. Never got brought up after the dad opened it though.
I'm enjoying the season overall, but Donald Glover is pretty insufferable, and that part of him seems to be bleeding into this season. His ego rivals Kanye's but without the production.

Atlanta alone is better than anything Kanye has ever done and I say that as someone who loves the first 5-6 Kanye albums.
Photo kinda looked like some animals anal sphincter?Aggie_Boomin 21 said:

Yeah I thought the same thing. Just meant to be a joke someone was pulling on him?

No. And Atlanta makes up the majority of what Glover has achieved, so "Atlanta alone" is still most of his body of work.
I'm gonna have to disagree, dog.
I thought it was a funny/crude joke too, after seeing how the scene played out. That funeral scene was so damn awesome.
As in Glover has achieved a higher mark with just Atlanta than Kanye has ever achieved with any of his works. Not as a collective.Aggie_Boomin 21 said:MBAR said:

Tough to say Kanye doesn't take it for me. This Is America is one of my favorite music videos of all time, just with all the intricacies involved in it, but as far as a complete album, it's hard to say anything Childish has ever done is better than MBDTF.
Let alone all of Kanye's other stuff, clothing, his new stem player, etc.

I agree, none of Glover's projects top MBDTF, and if you include Kanye's shoe line as a project, it is worth a couple hundred million.
Glover is great, but I wouldn't overlook the impact of Murai and Goransson on his end result.

Well no *****
How do you compare a 3 season tv show that will have 31 episodes to an album that is shorter than an hour and twenty minutes…

Lol why are you so angry about my opinion? You just compare them. I think one is better than the other as a piece of pop culture. It's not that hard to understand. Or serious. You are welcome to disagree.
