did donald glover actually write this or is his name just attached to it?

lemme check

*edit*

creator, director and writer…I’ll give it a fair chance :ehh:


He co-wrote the pilot and directed it. He’s the co-creator but the show-runner is Janine Nabers, who wrote on Atlanta

The series DEFINITELY has Glover’s fingerprints all over it

Just finished ep 3


:francis:


Wasn't good.


Ep 2 & 3 just seem like they was just doing improv and didn't really have a script.


Hope this improves.


Season 3 of Atlanta was terrible to me but season 4 was good so maybe this will be the same way and pick up.

Not trying to get it to live up to Atlanta. But I'll say this. The side characters needed a whole lot of work.

Dre carried this show like Steph does the Warriors. You had some good characters like this :dame: clerk I believe in episode 4.and this :dame:
White dude. But it wasn't alot of side characters they made me like wow. They're memorable.

As far as ep 7
i said un my first post that I didnt trust reality to be "reality". Because of how he ended Atlanta. And sure enough he got this whole fantasy going in. She find "love" and gets with a woman who hates her favorite singer. She fully gay (they implied she was called a dyke as a kid. Kissed Chloe arm. Franklin called her a virgin). Then Beyonce embraces her. I mean, you can see this ending a mile a way. No surprise and so predictable if you watched Atlanta.

Watching this off the strength of Donald Glover affiliation but it’s basically precious meets zola :heh:

Let’s see if I make it past episode 4.:sadcam:

Edit: this show is WEIRD! :what:

What a waste of a good cinematographer/DOP and whatever amazing camera/lens they were using. Looks like film :manny:
