is it jus me or is this new season not hittin

like things feel really random & the comedy not hittin

can't tell if my taste changed or it's lowkey becoming mid

Just you bro

Doppelganger episode would be fire

it took a minute to get into the 2nd episode but this s*** is definitely hitting

Episode 4 about to be WILD

Might hit for you once the whole season is done

Your expectations for what this season was going to be might be interfering with your enjoyment

Maybe try taking each episode with a clean slate and taking it for what it is

Or maybe your taste actually changed

I haven't watched the first 2 seasons since they aired so I don't remember them perfectly, but I feel like the show used to have more plot. especially season 1. now there's basically none (so far). the show has always had really well written parables about life and race, so it's not like that's new, but I can see how some people might not feel it as much without plot mixed in. some people want a show about paper boi & earn's career rise and all that

Until Season 3 proves otherwise

The Barbershop episode in S2 is the funniest s*** they have ever done

wb B.A.N.

Classic

that’s Top 3 funniest episodes no doubt but bruh the barbershop episode pure gold

bruh need to come back as Paper Boys designated barber or something

Season 1 didn't have a plot. Season 2 didn't really have a cohesive one until like the last 3 episodes.

Oooo that's a good ass idea

yall think vanessa gonna smash darius?

Nah

Would be a betrayal of both characters imo but I got uneasy at that idea even being an option early on

i feel u but im honestly not that invested in paper boi’s career i like that atlanta can be many things at once and the main characters just serve as the vessel of the story

I could see Van trying but would be very disappointed if Darius did

Seems so outta character for him, i feel like he would recognize van is in a vulnerable space and not take advantage of that and also not betray Earn. A serious ex is off limit fasho

But I do think they’re gonna keep teasing that idea just to fake out and have Earn and Van end up back together

The mob mentality in the last episode was wild. Darius be havin' the most compelling scenes, I prolly woulda reacted like him too

Facts

I felt the tension thru the whole episode

If this season of Atlanta is not hitting for you, it might be going over your head, or you're trying to relate to the experiences of people you cannot really relate to rather than trying to really understand them. If that makes sense. (You can understand one without being able to relate to one imo)

I haven't seen a peep about some of the deeper layers presented in the last episode. Nobody peep how Paperboi, the black rapper, is trying to get his 40 back from the white billionaire? The white billionaire pretending to be asleep to this call and closing his eyes to it? So in turn, the black man/rapper starts sawing down things that this white billionaire holds dear? In this case, the tree.

Bro, every scene in this episode has layers like that. Stop looking for jokes. The reality we live in, which the show is trying to reflect is the joke. That's why scenes might often feel more uncomfortable than funny to some, as that's because you're being made to admit to yourself that reality currently is ridiculous. At least to those who are aware of it.

Is there any YouTube channel or blog or specific person that breaks down each episode? S*** be having so many layers and connections that I miss and would love to a***yze some breakdowns each week

Thank you for breaking this down

I’m gonna watch again
