Which one of y’all made this?

https://youtu.be/-9CHtmhH0Rc

One of my coworkers sent this to me It’s pretty interesting and then it gets to a point in the trailer where it’s heavily inspired by Atlanta and I’m curious if one of y’all made this if so, well done.

CHROMAKOPIA: Judge Judy

Tyler's new album just released and has a song called "Judge Judy" on it with Childish Gambino doing some background vocals throughout the song.

Just curious if anyone has heard it and think it pays homage to the last episode of Atlanta!

Donald Glover drops so many Easter eggs!

Is anybody coming back to this series with a full on rewatch knowing what 2024 has revealed and been mind blown? Darioys and his simulation theory! The Mandela effect references! Nickelodeon....etc!

Just watched the Fubu episode, hits more than the Terry Perkins for me in S2

What do yall think? Everything in this ep from fake jersey to bullying to parents and schools reaction and lastly little Al chilling on the couch with his feet up after what happened… Man I loved and hated it altogether.

For me that’s the best or second best ep in S2 tbh

teddy perkins

i just started watching atlanta im binge watching the entire show and i feel so bad for darius in s 2 episode 6 man just wanted a piano. i feel like it showed more of darius's character cause so far i did see him be somewhat emphatic especially when he asked earn if he's alright when he needed a place to stay n didn't feel like he could say so out loud like darius was the only one to notice but other than that darius is fairly philosophical and kinda viewed as a jokester in my opinion. but when it came down to it he shared his own life experience and tried to relate to deescalate a terrible situation and idk. i feel bad for him he's def one of my fav characters.

On a scale of 1-10 how racist do you think this guy is?

The Justin Bieber basketball episode didn’t age well.

Obviously we don’t know the full context but it felt like it was poking fun at how he just did a 180 and everyone forgave and forgot some of the shit he did. Knowing what we know now about what might have been going on at the start of his career with respect to him being pushed into a lifestyle at such a young age it’s kind of fucked up. Obviously we don’t know the whole story but still…

Sense check for a first-time watcher: is Earn meant to be likeable?

I've binged the first 3 series this week, just on S4E1 and as soon as Earn comes on screen I have to go 'ughhh'.

Won't go into all of the reasons I dislike the character but I was wondering - is the viewer supposed to find him icky/annoying/think he's generally a bit of a dickhead? Or is he meant to be a likeable character? Obviously he has flaws that we're supposed to be aware of, but I feel like in what I'd heard about the show I had expected to like him (and I don't think that having flaws=unlikeable). Or maybe I just got that impression because people like Donald Glover so much?

Interested to hear other people's thoughts!

Ending Episode

I just finished the show. Wow.. I’m sad it’s over. But anyways, I noticed something I wasn’t sure anyone else knew/ knew the reason for it.

Majority of the songs in the last episode were songs that were popularized from being sampled. For example, through the fire by chaka khan (kanye sample) and the liberty by amnesty, (also a kanye sample) and one other one I forgot, but it was on the radio.

Does anyone know the interpretation behind this? I thought it was a cool idea.

Paradigm Shift being said

I’m looking for the specific episode that the words “paradigm shift” was said. I think it was a lady saying it, I don’t remember the context, but it’s for a project that I’m working on.

Which character do you relate to the most/ Is the most similar to you?

For me I'd probably say like a mix of Darius and Al
