I’m happy that they’re going back and I see from post that old characters are coming back, maybe tieing up some strings from the first 2 seasons🤔it’s lit

The 2nd episode was crucial

Explained so much about Earn so fast

Hope every main character gets an episode of that tier

🙏🏿Prayed for this my brother

I won

Nah lol just probably making fun of it when he was alive

Real asf for using B**** Where on episode 1

Appreciate it

I feel like the response to Earn’s actions by the characters and the audience is an example of how people tend to downplay the impact that “casual” racism can have. The show has constantly addressed how dismissive white people can be about these situations but this episode shows how Black people (like Al, Darius and a lot of the audience) can do that kind of thing as well by writing off Earn’s anger as simple pettiness. We often feel inclined to downplay the little offenses bc it’s not as bad or dramatic as the big offenses.

Being racially profiled when you’re out in public with your family isn’t as bad as being gunned down by the police, for instance. So it’s easier for people (again, including black folks) to downplay the former as just a slight everyday inconvenience instead of something that can be extremely traumatizing.

It was traumatizing to Earn, whose life was ruined at one point because of that same type of racism. And it may have even been traumatizing to poor Lottie. We don’t see her but that little girl had to witness her father being harassed for no discernible reason and her mother breaking down in tears at the distress of it.

And it’s made worse with the knowledge that Lisa pulled that stunt with every black person she encountered. But she got her comeuppance bc she ended up f***ing with a black person like Earn who - unlike most other black people - had the money and resources to actually get back at her.

Earn is truly living every black person’s fantasy, making racist cacs cry and ensuring that black people get paid in the process. I’m so proud of his development. I wanna be that nigga when I grow up fr

emphasis on L in Lisa Mahn

Earn a goat

So good to see my nigga Tracy back

Hard disagree

If the show had made a devoted effort to frame Earn as the centerpiece in each and every single episode of the show like they did here, he def could have been on Tony’s level as one of the all-time great tv protagonists. But that wasn’t nor isn’t the route they wanted to take

I at least think Earn could have been the best sitcom protagonist ever

He probably still is up there

I see he gave up the waves and grew his hair out loll

This episodes are great and they take place in ATL

I knew the season 1 vibes were back the very second I saw the title card

If it's in this show, i just expect it to never be brought back up again.

Rip Keed

No. Different guy.

Earn's therapist is the narrator who goes "FX Presents....Atlanta. The following presentation has been rated TV-MA and is intended for mature audiences"

ay bruh im only like 5 minutes in and this already s***ting on szn 3

ion wanna set my hope too high but...

old atlanta back!?!?

just wait

2 FIRE ASS EPISODES WE BACK

WE BACK

OMFG

Season 3 never happened
Atlanta truly back after these episodes

Man living in Atlanta and watching this show is a real trip. I think I’ll miss that more than anything. The context is just that much deeper when you’ve actually been to Atlantic station and understand that A) you really do always seem to run into somebody you know there and B) the parking deck is a f***ing maze
