nikkas got to quit the fake deep shyt trying to break down people's reasons for not liking the episode or insult people's intelligence like they ain't getting the messaging if they don't enjoy it. For me I grew to love the characters on the show and want to spend my time watching with the main characters. I appreciate the theme of the season and of the first episode and this one but not what I prefer to watch and in a rewatch probably are skipping both episodes.

Did you think Chris Rock's last special 'Tamborine' was funny?

They took 3 1/2 years off so I highly doubt it was rushed lol but yea this season is def a step back imo from the second.

This was a James harden step back into a travel. Season has been ass

Breh Atlanta fans are so pretentious. I got accused of not being pro reparations because I though the last episode was bad lol

Do you think they were working on it for 3 1/2 years ? COVID and their other obligations is the most likely reason for the delay. Just look at the main cast IMDB

WTF does that got to do with anything lol. But coincidentally I just watched it last night and it was uneven as hell. The best parts were when he was talking about politics and cops and all that. Wasn't fukking with the family bits as much or the difficulties of dating. The actual Tambourine joke fell flat.

Breh Atlanta fans are so pretentious.

this, and at this point, i really have to question who's supposed to be the audience for this show...i can't take all this heavy beating over the head of woke shyt/race talk from this cast and creator in particular. sorry, but the messenger matters...

anyway, this seems more like a binge the last 6 episodes thing for me, i'm going to bed after top chef on thursdays

Then again you haven't been watching the series. This is easily debunked by anyone with an ounce of common sense.


Season 1 episode 6 (Value) Van’s friend Jayne isn’t one dimensional. Even as a WAG/Instathot she exhibits more self awareness and a sense of purpose than Van herself does.


Season 1 episode 8 (“The Club”) the bartender that Earn talks to isn’t one note or one dimensional, she’s actually the one who points out to Earn the politics of Club life and what it means to be “out and about”. She also calls out Earn on his own bullshyt and helps him discover something that he himself could not figure out (the trap door)


Season 1 episode 8 (“Juneteenth”) Monique, despite her bougie demeanor, is very well aware of the racial politics surrounding her life and within her own marriage. She made a decision to marry “rich” and live with the consequences of her blubbering white husband’s well intentioned but ultimately cartoonish “ally-ship” to black causes. She’s fully aware, cognizant, and discerning of both her situation and her place within it. Nothing one note about that.


Season 2 episode 1 (Alligator Man) Earn’s uncle Willy, though temperamental and mercurial, is also slyly intelligent (he knows the law and his rights enough to temporarily keep the police out of his residence) understanding and accepting of his own failures (he doesn’t argue with Earn’s assessment of his character flaws) and displays enough self awareness to council Earn on the self destructive path that HE is on and advise against it. There is nothing “one note” about this character.

Season 2 episode 3 (“Money Bag Shawty”) The artist Clarke County, a rapper who doesn’t smoke or drink, schools Alfred on proper business moves and explains to him the importance of having good management. He is also smart enough to understand the rat race that he’s in and how
Important it is for him as a black artist to have the connections necessary to continue thrive.


Season 2 episode 6 (“Teddy Perkins”) I think it suffices to say that if you think the character of Teddy Perkins is “dumb” or “one note” then you have no business watching tv or film PERIOD.

Season 2 episode 8 (“Woods”) Alfred’s lady friend Sierra, though initially coming off as rather loud and boisterous, demonstrates a keen understanding of how to play the “game” of being a celebrity. She understands the power of branding, which affords her free clothing and merchandise. She understands the power of social media and creating “fantasy through character” which she tries to convey to Alfred, who initially rejects the “fakeness” of her strategy before accepting and succumbing to it himself by episode’s end.


Season 2 episode 11 (“Crabs In A Barrel”) The black lawyer that Earn takes Alfred to see is well qualified, intelligent, eloquent, and can speak to his business practices . Alfred however, is not impressed, and would rather have a high level “Jewish” attorney. The point of the black lawyer’s aptitude and worthiness is driven home later in the episode when Earn directly asks a Jewish man who has a lawyer for a cousin if “there’s a black lawyer as good as his cousin”. The Jewish clerk replies in the affirmative, asserting that the only difference between white and black lawyers in their connections, which white people have for “systemic reasons”.


Later in the same episode, a black school teacher approaches Earn and Vanessa with the information that their daughter is advanced in her learning capabilities. She implores Earn and Vanessa to enroll their daughter in a private institution that will better prepare for her educationally. She had the wherewithal and the intelligence to see that there was a black child who would benefit from being placed in a better situation and made sure the parents knew that.

All of this just reminded me that I need to rewatch this series from start to finish.

........yea....this shyt should be cancelled for making me wait 3 years only to continue NONE of the storylines I was interested in
Good show... but not great and it's alot of it's fans are insufferable dikkheads.


Maybe it'll all make sense at the end of the season....

 

[the cool]

I’m really sad to see what they did to this show

 

[CBSwagga]

It’s crazy to see the polarization here. I definitely understand it though. Glover worked on critically acclaimed shows, he knows how to make good television, but he’s getting heavy handed in his need to trigger white guilt or whatever it is he’s doing. The execution is amazing but the content is very different from the original vibe of the show. I want payoff for my wait and investment. But hey maybe it will come.

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

Bruh I’m literally IN LOVE with Van. I’m a grown ass man with a goddamn crush on a girl…

BUT I’m not attracted to her at all in real life. Like the real girl Zazie Beats or whatever.

It’s the weirdest goddamn thing

So you're attracted to the carefree baby mama with no plan or job but NOT attracted to the semi-successful actress?

Van don't even be doing anything noteworthy besides looking good on the show.
