FX & Donald Glover present Atlanta Season 2: Atlanta Robbin' Season

[Youngdev]

The way Clark was talking, I don't think that manager took that shyt willingly at all, Clark was basically like fukk that nikka.

I feel like they were hammering home the survival point. Clark had to survive

But then again Clark did call him over. Either way I don't think the manager was on some Clark I got you type shyt at all. Clark probably threatened dudes family or some shyt.

 

[Bigblackted4]

but Earn always needs Al to bail him outta shyt

That’s the point, who is there to bail Al out of his shyt

 

[AquaCityBoy]

This is the same Clark County who had nikkas beat up his engineer for fukking up.

I don't think it's unreasonable to think he made his manager take the fall.

Atlanta kinda reminds me of shonen anime...

A lot of filler episodes and stakes building...but in the end...it's underwhelming...

They could've really deleted like 4 episodes and nothing would've changed...

Like that fukking Drake episode...the Barbershop Episode...the Darius Episode...had absolutely nothing to do with anything whatsoever...


Season 2 was trash...treating each episode like a one shot when you got an 11 episode season and each episode is 23 mins long is fukking stupid...

The finale wasn't even a finale...

It was just another episode...like that shyt could've been the opening episode...or the episode in the middle of the season...

The Atlanta isn't a sit-com...sit-coms have like 20 episode seasons...and you are stuck with the same 3 characters...

Atlanta is a drama...that likes to make every character feel like like the protagonist...but...there are rules to storytelling and you can't just resolve some shyt with a gun in a backpack...

Like the season should've just ended up with Earn getting the fukk beat out of him and Al looking at him like...

I agree with this. Atlanta has broken a lot of the regular storytelling rules, it's kind of infuriating as someone who loves exposition.

I think there is a Curb Your Enthusiasm element to it where Glover wants to make what he wants with no thought to the storyline.

I agree that the episodes didn't flow. The season finale wasn't a finale lol.

Naw, yall aren't getting the show.

Almost every episode has a point and gives more background and depth to the characters than season 1. The show deals with character growth. All episodes deal with how the characters deal with life. As the characters progress, so does Al's rap career.

That's some twitter shyt. They wrote philosophy books based off Friends and Seinfeld, I'm supposed to believe they're really deep like that too huh?

 

[Ziggiy]

This and Game of Thrones are the only two shows I care about. Don't really watch any tv. Music mainly and some play-offs otherwise.

What a great season. Who knows when season three gets released and Game of Thrones is on it's last season

Yep. Atlanta, GOT, Insecure, and Black-ish are all I give a damn about


Edit- Can’t forget about Black Lightning. That show is soooooo much better than it has any right to be

 

[Diyhai]

Took it willingly.

exactly
people harp on all the racial issue but think they gonna take a black rappers word over a jewish lawyer
His manager took that L for the team

 

[KingBeez]

This may not make sense, but “Crabs in the barrel” was a perfect title for this episode.

When crabs are in a barrel together, the crabs as a group will pull down any crab that starts to climb out of the barrel in an attempt to be the first out of the barrel that holds them in. For humans, some people will attempt to stop the shine of another person due to fear, competition, spite, or envy.

In this episode, we’ve seen many themes of unity and togetherness within the black community (the passport agency talk with Ern and Darius, the plane talk with Ern and Al) as well as separation (Paperboi wanting a Jew instead of a black lawyer & Ern trying to plant a gun in Clark County’s bag, thus kicking a fellow black man off an overseas tour that can make everyone involved more money and gain more fame).

I’m also high while typing this, so if this sound like some Darius shyt, please let me know

This has been a great season, and I wouldn’t be mad it it ended on this note.

that's sad as fukk

Mogs soak up game from fukking TV shows and not the actual books/pieces that influence the works

 

[thaKEAF]

I hope this isn’t the end

 

[PortCityProphet]

Man its crazy how I feel like AL wrapped up every episode and brought it all together when he was talking to Ern on the plane saying we black we got to do whatever we got to to survive. It hit me that every episode is about survival and someone doing what they need to do to survive. Uncle Willie releasing the gator to get away from the cops, van switching her whole style up in Germantown, al running in the woods, bibby and his odd jobs to make money, the convo Clark County had on the studio saying it can only be 1 chosen black person for commercials, Teddy Perkins (still trying to think that one through), the FUBU shirt incident, ern putting the gun on Clark County and then Clark putting it on the white boy.
It was all about survival IMO not robbin.

I read where Don used tiny toons my summer vacation as inspiration for this season and I see it now.
I'll have to rewatch with a different theme in mind and I think this season will come out better the 2nd time.

 

[WesCrook]

at all the folks that kept sayin al fired earn 2 episodes ago

Well, he did.....and changed his mind.

Typical family stuff.

 

[TRY GOD]

I don't know if anyone was paying attention, but the FUBU episode really set up the narritive for the final episode this season.

It shows that Earn is willing to let someone else take the fall in order for him to get ahead. Earn probably stopped giving a fukk after he realized he helped contribute to someone's death at an early age. There too you see Al's mom's influence when she told them they are family and they need to stick together

Teddy Perkins is easy.

Teddy went insane trying to survive the abuse that was inflicted upon him by his father. Who in Shakespearen irony, was trying to give his sons the tools needed to survive in a country that bases the value of black life upon its entertainment factor. Teddy in turn became a reflection of the very monster that his father was desperately trying to help him overcome (white supremacy). Teddy adopted the white features, white mannerisms, white thinking (as evidenced by his dismissal of Hip Hop) and ultimately, the white strategy of murder by manipulation and lies (his plan was to say that Darius was a burgler who killed Benny.)

Darius attempted to survive this by reasoning the merits of love and mercy. This ultimately proved useless as you cannot debate, argue, or reason with White Supremacy. The only thing that saved Darius was violence.
