A few moments were good satire, or commentary, like the women running the Ig shot booth, or the DJ (you knew it was a finesse when he stepped on the scene) or the guy who was following her around, but I thought the episode pulled too many punches, and didn't seem like as sharp as the satire, even displayed a few episodes earlier with the studio scenes, with Clark County. Not bad, just not the edginess I expected. Maybe it was needed coming of something heavy like Teddy Perkins.

I thought the couch scene was off too, and the tone was uneven and just odd. I don't quite know what the "joke" was. Maybe there wasn't one. Though, if you read it as a defense of Glover's own experiences, maybe it makes more sense.

Yo, this is maybe the 3rd or 4th time y'all complain about an episode LIVE knowing when you think in retrospect it's underline brilliance. By now, I would of THOUGHT y'all realize Atlanta is more than trying to make jokes and laugh at pure fukkery. It puts in a multi-layered messages and create allegorical narratives to address several real-life issues that black people experienced. In this episode, for example, it is CLEAR that the entire allegory is summed up by Darius by explaining that life is a simulation, everything is fake to which Van sees it herself and realized that the entire time NOBODY WAS REAL, even the party itself was phony. Every person in there were fake AF and doing shyt to front, acting in a type of behavior that's FAKE. Everything that occur, that was shown, and was perceived was NOT REAL. I do not have to seek for laughter to peep game in what they are trying to see. Y'all may still seek for that, but Atlanta EARNED the right to be more than just that.
:dead:

This episode was written by sum guy named Ibra Ake who i have no knowledge of so uugghhh whatever. But Donald didn't write it so anyone thinking the whole white girl interaction was cuz of him is wrong

Anyway next week should be much better tho cuz Stefani Robinson is writing it


This is 100% Donald Glover’s Show. He signs off on every single script and also serves as the show runner and story editor. That shyt didn’t “escape” him.

I actually think that specific interaction of dialogue would’ve went over MUCH better had a black woman wrote it. I’m actually semi shocked they didn’t have a Stephanie Robinson write or edit this particular episode....
