Episode 2 was straight but not as good as one. There are some good things but action wise, it's kinda feeling redundant.

Two episodes in & this is probably one of the most miserable experiences I’ve had watching a show

I almost wanna say fukk the team behind it because I feel like they’re just trying to spite their audience sometimes

quick thoughts

Don't get me wrong Chloe is thikk, so I ain't complaining. But she doesn't look as toned as she usually does. Her acting is ok. Not great. Not horrible.
Damdris has the same type of accent he does on Snowfall. Not sure why he went with that.
I like that it has the same look as "Atlanta" with the camera, lighting, etc. Don't know the technical term for it.
They picked the right person for the main role This chick seems like she may be off in real life. She's the main draw so far.
:mjlol: They really got somebody to talk like Beyonce. That has Donald Glover written all over it.

I'm optimistic that those who wanted him to dip in horror will be satisfied. But I'm tellnig you right now, I don't trust "reality" to be "reality" in here. After Atlanta I don't trust him. I'm of the minority theory that Ern and Paperboy died the first episode.

They got Franklin and Chloe out the paint quick :damn:

I think he switched up his voice pitch and he speaks a little faster. The cali drawl isnt so pronounced due to that.

It's cool

A darker Atlanta

Main character crazy as hell but I found myself sympathizing with her...kudos to the actress and writing

With the main narrator being unreliable dont know what's real or imagined

3 eps in, overall decent watch so far

Said it in another thread but yeah
That’s pretty much the best way to describe it. This literally feels like it takes place in the “Atlanta” universe.

Finished the entire series an hour ago and it was an okay watch. It was cool and interesting for the first 4 episodes but then shyt got old and too unbelievable..especially the ending.

Episode 6 was a real mindfukk towards the end because they really made you believe this was based on real events. Even had a phone number you could actually call and give information :ohhh:

Had me googling Andrea Greene’s name to see if this was actually legit :gucci:

Paris Jackson, Chloe, and Billie Eilish did a great job with their acting performances.

Dominique Fishback did a GREAT job as the main character.

As far as the ending
No lessons were learned. She gets away with murder and lives out her fantasy of getting up on stage and seeing her “sister” as the Beyonce like figure.

You didn’t see her get caught up for the murders or anything. And by the end you don’t know if this is reality or HER reality and nothing was learned :francis:

I will say Gambino and company really did hold the mirror up to Stan culture and how dangerous it could be. But the sad part about it is that they not gonna listen..

Even though the Beyhive have calmed down a bit. The real problematic Stanbase are The Barbz, especially with how Nicki leads them.

By the way this series is, it looks to be an anthology series. If Donald Glover is gonna do a season 2, it would be interesting if it focuses on a mentally ill nutcase Nicki Minaj like figure and how she leads her Stanbase like Trump :lupe:
