They don’t get it. Atlanta literally CANNOT have a filler episode as the series itself, as described by Donald Glover, is “Twin Peaks” with rappers. It DOES NOT follow a traditional narrative and wasn’t constructed to. We had full episodes in season 1 that had NOTHING to do with Earn trying to make Paperboi a famous rapper.
A whole episode of Earn in jail
A whole Episode Of Van trying to dodge a drug test
A whole episode of Paperboi on a talk show
A whole episode of Earn and Van at at Juneteenth party
A whole episode where Earn is searching for a lost jacket
We in season 2 and nikkas acting brand new
this isn’t true at all. Paper Boi needed the haircut because he needed to look good for a Photoshoot and Article in a Magazine. That’s evidence of his continued success. His career was his main reason for being at the barbershop in the first place. Which along with barber loyalty is why he allows Bibby to ruin his whole day.

Oh okay, yeah I peeked Jhene just now so I kinda figured that's where it was from. Pretty dope though.
Glad I don't read this thread or any threads on here for shows that I watch anymore.Episode had its moments but it wasn't anywhere near the Atlanta greatness that we've come to know. This was run of the mill B comedy type shyt. Bibby's shtick got tired after 5 minutes. Maybe if they used him in a single scene but an entire episode?....nah. seeing a guy do dumb shyt over and over is just not that funny. bibby was way too extra. He was basically a caricature.
Was the episode decent?....sure. But when it comes Atlanta I expect a lot more than just decent. But maybe it's time to lower my standards a little.
@ you sitting here really trying to shyt on this episode. It was an instant classic for me because my bro in-law is literally a Bibby and the accuracy of everything was excellent
Whole episode was true, one of my favorites I've seen so far from this showThat opening barber scene is fukking gold and so true
Between that and him asking Paperboi to take the wheel after hitting that lady and I was laughing loud as fukk for like a minute straight. I know too many cats that will get you caught up in some dumb shyt then try to get you caught up for it because they on probation or some other shyt.The moment they went to the construction site and he opened that microwave with the Zaxby’s... Breh no exaggeration. I’ve never laughed harder and louder at a TV show in my life.
I think a lot of it comes down to Donald Glover basically creating a new genre with this show where it can sway back and forth from drama to comedy. Some episodes will be pure drama like last week and others will be just straight comedy like this one. Seems too many people keep trying to box it in and aren't flexible enough to go where the show takes em.Glad I don't read this thread or any threads on here for shows that I watch anymore.
This episode was funny as fukk from start to finish. Mainly because of how relatable it is. Every black person in America knows a "Bibby". My wife and I kept laughing out loud as this episode played out because her brother is LITERALLY the same exact dude portrayed as Bibby.
The guy that's in to everything, from cutting hair, to having the hookup on cable, doing construction/house work, driving reckless as fukk, always busy and double booking himself for shyt and dragging you into it... to being a caring parent through all of that. Then they capped it off with the relationship a man has with his barber and how it's more to just going to get a cut from anybody.
