Why don’t I like Van?

I’m halfway through S2 on my first watch. I know it’s just a show, and the writers wrote her character this way on purpose. But I really just can’t stand her dialogue. She brings zero humor or joy to the show.

Yes, her character has depth, and yes, she certainly has reasons to be unhappy. They’ve explored her identity issues somewhat. At this point in the show, we’ve met her one friend who lives large and hangs with pro athletes, and her other friend who is dating a white guy and introduces her to other people as “Lizzie’s mom”. She doesn’t have any actual friends. Maybe that’s part of why she’s always frowning?

This is not to defend any of the other characters, they all have flaws, Earn especially. Since her character is mostly written as a companion to Earn, it does make sense that she’s unhappy, because Earn is lame. But idk, her character just annoys me.

I saw a few other posts like this and the comments overwhelmingly supported her character. So I’m prepared to be roasted. But I just wanna know, does it get better? Does her character ever have a legit moment that makes the viewer laugh or even smile?

Episode where guy was nice then mean later.

I just remember a guy being super nice to a character maybe at work or something. Then later outside of work the character sees the same guy and the guy tells him to fuck off.

Do you ever skip any episodes during rewatches?

Do you ever skip any ep during rewatches? If so, which ep (or episodes) and why? Someone doing so stupid it borders on self sabotage, or the ep is just generally unpleasant and doesn't bring anything new

S4E10 - thumping in the house was the same thumping from another episode?

At the very end when they’re getting ready to roll you hear a thumping sound before the judge Judy reveal, it’s the same thumping paper boy heard on the episode where he was being hunted by the Soulja boy killer. Did anybody else notice this?

Season 4 | Episode 10 (Song Request)

Anyone know what song was playing at the very beginning of the episode, while Judge Judy is playing on the TV and right before Liberty by Amnesty starts playing?

Drake exposed in season 2 episode 7

Kendrick got me rewatching and idk if im trippin or not but At the beginning of the episode the girl van hang out with says “he would make a great father”. Mind you this is in April 2018 before story of Adidon was released. Also the whole episode is a bunch of men creeping on these women from the positions given to them by Drake. The girls are lured into his house to meet him but he isn’t even there. They are seperated and lost throughout the house the whole episode. And then I think about how the whole show is kinda about how somebody can become white with access to money and power and white adjacent which is kinda what Kendrick’s claim on Drake is too. Idk if I’m trippin or not yall lmk

What'd y'all genuinely think of The Homeliest Little Horse

I don't mean the episode, but the actual story that Lisa wrote herself. Personal opinion aside, did it deserve all the criticism, or was it decent enough?

Do you like Flo Rida?

Kicking it way back to the pilot and the guy who worked at the radio station with his Flo Rida story.

What do you think? Do you like Flo Rida?

Yes? No? Don't feel strongly either way?

IT WAS ALL A DREAM

Okay so season 4 episode 10, it really was all a dream. Simple- Darius was a selfish person he had a brother whom he never visited who was sick and not in the best of conditions. He asked about their mom as well, meaning he didn't even know how his own mother was.

Cutting to the last setup - everyone is sitting eating Popeye's he was so sure that he was still in the tank that he even did a crime and was enjoying with the gang. Everyone walks out for J. But Darius waited to see judge Judy's ass and was happy in the end. Indicating that it really was his imagination.

One more thing added-

Season 3 episode 8

Nepalese honey cake, that episode was focused on AL but just one thing pointed out from that episode, how Darius was just letting AL pay for all the stuff without even hesitating. This shows a bit of the side where he is just using Al.

Would love to know your thoughts

Should the show have continued without the main cast?

We all loved Atlanta. And many of us enjoyed the mysterious ending.

This cast had gotten so popular, we were lucky to have had them for as long as we did.

But would you have wanted another season of just stand alone episodes?

Would that have been good enough?

Shows like Atlanta

I know there are loads of posts like this but I’m looking for something specific.

Atlanta was perfect for me. Had a bit of action, comedy, real life, great characters, great chemistry between all the actors, was very trippy in a lot of places.

I need something that fits most those categories. Nothing too dark either.

Comedy isn’t a definite unless the programme touches really dark subjects and has comedy to soften it.

Anyone have any good suggestions??

Edit: thankyou everyone for suggesting reservation dogs. I like it already

Whats your favorite episode for each actor?

For me i think:

LaKeith Stanfield - Teddy Perkins (S2E6)

Zazie Beetz - Tarrare (S3E10)

Brian Tyree Henry - Cancer Attack (S3E5)

Donald Glover - Helen (S2E4) and honestly also cancer attack, i think with that episode they did a great job developing the characters

A portrait I drew of Darius

Favorite character from one of my favorite shows. Always impresses me how Lakeith Stanfield has the ability to make me laugh and break my heart in the same breath. (Still not over that finale.)

This show is driving me nuts, and I love it.

Just finished season 3. I have to say, 3 was messed up. How much was real and how much was some weird fever dream? Sometimes when I'm watching certain episodes, I'm like "This is so dumb" and then when it's done, I keep thinking back on it, going "Hmm. That was actually quite intriguing."

Donald Glover has got some weird talent.

If atlanta video games are released?

When the Atlanta video game comes out, it will be a strange game, reminiscent of an episode of S3, with no Earn or Paper Boi. What atlanta video game would you like to play?
