Donald Glover's FX dramedy ATLANTA

to see this show is to love it, is how i break it down to an extent

i have really mixed feelings about Glover overall but this is a flat out masterpiece

agree with clemenza (great posts) that the teddy perkins ep. which people freaked out about was one of the weaker episodes

the college trip episode is so good

this deleted scene from that ep. where they dance to "creep" by TLC is so cute

love this show so much i almost am jealous of people who get to watch it for first time

Man, I've never seen that deleted scene! Thank you for that!

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

Season 3 trailer!

yaaaay

Good, show is genius.

Finally settling in to watch this. (Thank you, library DVD section!)

Good timing, I think season 3 premieres at the end of March. and they just announced that the already filmed season 4 will be the final season.

This show is wild.

The invisible car!!!!

<3 so amazing

Oh man I must’ve watched that clip a million times.

I burned through the first two seasons in two days

the invisible car bit is so great because the payoff hits juuuuust long enough for you to forget about the set up

*just late enough

he does that again with the "drake is mexican?" bit

It’s really all about Darius, isn’t it?

he’s the special sauce in the magic Atlanta burger

The suffering girl in “FUBU” - who has a good day, and then a bad day - makes me think of an episode of The Wire, late in Season 4.

I don't wanna wait as long as we just did for the next season but man, those two eps was more than worth the wait

best TV show

Just amazing. Credit to FX. This and Better Things are the two most unique things going right now.

We were watching ep 1 and thinking wow this is over the top but of course nope.

Did this start up again and I missed it?

I need 300 pieces of fried chicken
All legs

Yeah that first episode. Was wild and had some serious Jordan peele vibe and halfway through my wife was like wait, I think this actually happened.

just started watching and
what. the. fuck. did these white women do to that chicken

Enjoyed the first episode, have learned about the real-life connection, but how was it connected to the show's main characters? This is just a dream Earn had? Confused.

Not confused--baffled. Did I miss the connection?

it’s a dream of Earn’s — or is it?

I don't want to deprive anyone of this: I will say that the cut to Earn made me gasp--a jump-scare that wasn't really even a jump-scare. Something they did with the sound.

it was a dream within a dream, nolan style

this show has completely primed us for an episode that doesn’t feature any of the main characters at all. that public access tv episode was basically that, with a brief appearance from paper boi

I had a dream last night that involved African-Americans. I was sitting in the audience at the Academy Awards and--never mind, it's so far-fetched it's not even worth describing.

still cracking up at "is Hugs your father?"

And the dog is named Corn Pop.

Also wtf with that suicide machine? I cannot imagine a worse possible way to go. Please tell me that isn’t a real thing. I’m not googling it.

lol

that series of events combined with the chime ringing made me laugh harder than I had in a while

I have to say, this show is amazing at setting up a series of very serious events immediately followed by something insanely absurd

then the perfect drop of "hail mary" lol

With the noise from the beginning of the song played by the guy!!

S3E1 is dark AF

Lol @ S3 ep3 where they agree about everyone hating Moby

S3Ep5 was so good -- I feel like I need to watch it again. When will we ever get to see Paper Boi perform on this tour?! It's so weird to me how we keep getting closer but we still don't get to watch a performance. The venue & characters especially in this episode.

feels like it's deliberate, I as actually surprised we heard as much of his music in this episode as we did.

Amazing episode. Amazing season. Amazing show.

it has to be deliberate -- everything about this show seems very on purpose imo
we did get a tiny bit of performance and a LOT of Darius dancing <3
