TYRONE GA!
So if you rewatch the episode a couple of things about Devin stand out. Every time we see Devin on camera he's alone. Earn is mad that he's not popular, but he actually has friends and girls actually like him.
  • When Earn gets on the bus he has someone to sit next to when other kids don't.
  • In science class Earn has a lab partner. When Devin does the smirk he's sitting by himself with his head down on the desk.
  • When Earn needs help he reaches out to Al who is the coolest kid in the grade. Devin has nobody to stick up for him.
  • When Earn is in the cafeteria he sits with 2 friends. One white and one black. Showing that not only does he have friends, but he's already able to navigate racial barriers. Where's Devin? Devin is eating lunch at the tail end of the table alone.
  • When Earn is running to his bus, the girl gives him a number AND his friend comes to check on him before he gets on the bus. Devin is chased to the bus alone.
This was done purposely and I believe Devin alludes to it in the cafeteria. When he's being bullied in the cafeteria his response is he's always wearing fly shyt. When Earn describes Devin to Al Earn makes a point of stating that Devin's dad is 30 so you know he always has the cool stuff.

Earn, like Devin, falls for the trap of materialism. Cool things don't bring you happiness. Just having a core group of friends in high school (IN LIFE!) that you can talk to, laugh with, run to makes you a millionaire. Earn bought the FUBU to impress his classmates, but they ALREADY liked him. They were already cool with smart Earn. They were already cool with DBZ Earn. But Earn wasn't cool with himself.

Kids don't realize or appreciate the beauty of having friends that don't care about being impressed and like the same "corny" "weird" shyt that you do.

Those kids then turn into 20yr olds posting "new year new me" twitter/instagram/fb posts.

Damn this is true. Repped breh.

As in season finale or series finale?


Its the season finale but it hasn’t been officially renewed yet.

Season 2 was renewed only 4 episodes after season 1 premiered.

I think its going to come down to Donald & Crew’s scheduling. They’ve all blown the fukk up lately.


Brian Tyree Henry might win a Tony award this year, and he’s got SIX movies coming out.

Zazie Beats has FOUR movies coming up

Lakeith Stanfield has three movies coming up.

And Donald has a huge tour coming up to promote his last Gambino album. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he writes/directs a feature film within the next year either.

Them forming like Voltron to do another 10-11 episodes is gonna be tough.
