I have no idea why people are saying this feels like a different show. This is the series that in its FIRST SEASON introduced a Cult leader who force feeds his followers Nutella sandwhiches, an invisible car, a man who undergoes “transracial” surgery to go from black to white, the rap group Migos as drug traffickers, a Samurai sword that can be traded up for a canine that’s worth $5000, and a BLACK JUSTIN BIEBER.


The show has always leaned into the weird and ethereal. Its NEVER, not ONCE in its history, been a straight forward narrative about just one thing. Its got a premise that Donald Glover has said since the beginning was to showcase “What It Means To Be Black”. This series in its third season is EXACTLY what its always been. Precisely what Donald said it was.

I get what you're saying, bro, I do... and I'm a huge fan of this series but I do feel they lost a step in some of these episodes. This last episode was whatever to me, funny here or there, and I didn't even finish the episode previous to that. Taking that 4 year hiatus wasn't the move in my opinion, even though I understand why it had to happen. This season would have been more palatable if it aired the following year after the previous season instead of there being such a huge gap. With that said, I'm still a fan and looking forward to seeing where the series takes us.

Yeah, I didn't see it as a pass either.

Dude said he still hated black people and because he's white he didn't have to learn a lesson if he didn't want to. He said some fukked up shyt about black people, took the hit, and things went back to normal.

The only lesson he learned was not to voice his hatred of black people in public. He didn't care enough to learn why that was wrong because he didn't want to.

Man it's brave of Liam Neeson to take this part in Atlanta, real brave. It can be a really good look or a "well what do we have here, hold up" moment and I'm not sure which it is yet.:patrice::mjlol:

I think he's being saved cause everybody is talking about Kevin Samuels right now. If this had been any other week... :ufdup:

the only reason it feels like a different show to me is that pape was way cooler in season 1 :damn:
