man that ostrich egg in the piano man ep was brutal, I'm still reeling from it. But what an ep!

The Teddy Perkins episode was more rewarding to watch than the entire third season of Twin Peaks

felt so sympathetic toward Earn up until halfway through the last scene, then he got pretty much wedgied and I cracked up

― Heez, Sunday, 29 April 2018 04:01 (six years ago) link
you can tell he loves it and hates it at the same time which is a shared feeling
I’m not sure if some of the things I’m getting out of my viewing is in the story or if I’m projecting it really seems to capture how grueling it is just to live, and how doing the things you’re supposed to do to play a role doesn’t mean anything will work outEarn thinking he really needed to fight it out was so awkward

when I was in high school I had a joke about starting a company called Fujbuj, pronounced fudge-budge, meaning For Us Jews, By Us Jews. I thought that was pretty funny.
a bit high-handed maybe, but another brilliant episode.
Donald Glover had a hell of weekend.

I'm down to the last few episodes. Really good, and quite unusual. The weirdest show I've ever watched from start to finish is Mr. Robot, which ended up spinning off into a dozen incomprehensible directions; Atlanta is weird precisely because it's so low-key and not weird. I'm so used to heavily plotted shows like Mad Men and The Sopranos, where running storylines unfold over multiple episodes. I could be wrong, but I think Earn getting the cheque for the dog a few episodes after they dropped it off might have been the first call-back to a previous episode. And I don't think I've ever seen a season-ending scene as low-key as S1's (I honestly thought at first, with the prominence of streetlights, that it was going to be an extended homage to Antonioni's L'Eclisse). Probably my two least favourite episodes have been the most self-consciously weird: the PBS talk show (I was faked out by the commercials, though) and the reclusive songwriter in the decrepit mansion. All four principles are excellent--I think Darius is my favourite. A lot of great music that almost always leaves me wanting more, although the way snippets are weaved in and out is basically perfect. (None of the hip-hop is familiar to me, which doesn't mean it's obscure; I just don't keep up.) My favourite music moment of all was Sam Cooke to end the one episode--came right out of the blue.
So many quotable lines. I'll go with one from the Drake episode, which is where I left off earlier today.
Vanessa's friend: "Can you help me stop thinking?"Darius: (pause) "Perhaps."

Finished up last night. "The Woods" made me think that there's a new rule on TV that every show must have an episode where a main character or two gets lost in the woods or the desert (there has to be five or six examples now going back to The Sopranos' "Pine Barrens"; weirdest might be Mr. Robot's). The episode at the college was really good--reminded me of Spinal Tap, of all things, and I felt bad for Earn when Al hinted that he'd had enough (because basically Al was right). I picked up quickly that "FUBU" was a flashback because of the Tracy Chapman song (the time-stamp of a FUBU shirt was lost on me), but I initially thought the kid, who had kind of a roly-poly face, was Al, not Earn; sad episode. And another great low-key season-ending scene, which I had to double-check online to make sure I understood correctly what happened and what it meant--I did. I hope Vanessa's minimal presence in the last two or three episodes is temporary. Really looking forward to S3. Meantime, I will embark on the completist-driven task of collecting all the songs and burning a mix-CD or two (or three).

i have really mixed feelings about Glover overall but this is a flat out masterpieceagree with clemenza (great posts) that the teddy perkins ep. which people freaked out about was one of the weaker episodesthe college trip episode is so goodthis deleted scene from that ep. where they dance to "creep" by TLC is so cutehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYWkfMg-AvQ

yeah this thread is making me sure I want to watch it all over again. in the uk they screened it around the same time they started showing Better Things, and both are high-points of the 2010s hybrid sitcom form for me - very different shows, but both brave and loose and inspired
