He's making episodes that standalone for a reason.

I feel like he wants content that can be viewed by anyone regardless of them watching the show before.
I think it was because of COVID lockdowns and the tight schedules of Glover, Brian Tyree Henry, Lakeith Stanfield and Zazie Beetz. Atlanta was their only thing when the show started. Now they're superstars in the MCU and DCEU and shyt

Being half Trini, this ep hit different:wow:I related so much cause my Moms used to nanny for white kids too when she came to the country.

The way all three solo episodes this season addressed black parenting vs white parenting:wow:Black Gen X really the last of a dying breed.
Best episode of the season and Top 5 ep of Atlanta for me:wow:Damn near cried when Bash was vibing out to Trini 2 De Bone.
Them bible verses stuck with Bash and he on God's path now:wow:He gon be playing steelpan in Carnival when he grows up.
Showed my Moms this ep and she loved it too.:wow:Atlanta for the family.

I feel like Donald Glover always goes left and keeps you guessing when it comes to the content he puts out

just look at his music videos

they always abstract and somethings have nothing to do with the song

these stand alone episodes allow him to be more creative and tell new stories

not saying the actual character episodes are boring or worse but episodes like this week just hit different and make you think.

also some people on here probably never knew what Trini or Trinidad is before this week :manny:

Episode was :wow:

Like for example my grandmother basically left Haïti to work in the US and left my mom with her grandma. Which in a way she kinda resented her mother like Princess did(my dad explained it to me in a talk a few years ago).

Like immigrants don’t have a choice really to do this to help their kids life become better. Meanwhile them white parents with Nannies have more of a choice since they got lots of funds to be in their life and they opt not to to make more money and think they can just throw money at em
