Official 'Atlanta' Season 3 Thread

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

The ordering was way off with this episode. I didn’t even realize it was the season finale until I came to this thread

I truly hope NO ONE who said Insecure had filler is gobbling this season of Altanta. Truly the WOAT season, brehs went to the full extent of try-hard, and as I’ve been wondering - who is this show even for at this point?

Like I said earlier in the thread it was clear that the main cast had extremely little time to film 2 seasons of a show since they were busy doing other projects. With that said I liked the Gaiden stories more than the main story which is ok.

Best episodes of the main storied was the Fashion/BLM episode and the Lorraine episode.

I thought the Van mental breakdown was a weird place to end the season but its clear season 3 and 4 are going to treated as one giant season.

Atlanta has always dabbled in the metaphysical, and bizarre and has done so its whole run. I just think the focus has changed from the Black experience from an esoteric standpoint to a more broad focus as a whole. I think that's where some of the contention is coming from.

I feel like this season will be more rewatchable than the first 2

We can’t be afraid of weird outside the box stuff

Breh, stop it. This would be cool if this were some anthology show like Twilight Zone, but you can’t do season 1/2, which very much seemed like a show for black folk, be gone for 4 years and come back with this shyt, which now seems like a show for “woke” white people suffering from white guilt.

shyt is trash

I give it a 7.5/10. When it hit it hit. When it missed, it missed.

Unfortunately I can see the super stans of this show / glover gonna stay breaking down everything as some super deep shyt. Similar lane as lupe super stans

It was a decent season overall. What impressed me most is the camera work, everything is shot beautifully. The run from episode 5 to 8 was dope and I like 9 as well. My only complaint is lack of tying in the main cast. Even tying in the secondary characters like someone suggested would've been cool. They can't help if the cast are all booked elsewhere though.

I appreciated the non-linear storytelling. For me, some of the most memorable episodes from the series were not directly connected to the main story or sidebar stories.

Teddy Perkins episode
The trans-racial episode
The Barbershop episode

This show has always been surreal and never took itself that seriously imo. Fans go crazy with theories and Easter Eggs and piece shyt together on their own. This season had an IYKYK vibe throughout. The alternative episodes this season were better than the ones with the main characters.

-the emotional support bread tho
- French goons don't play ax
-ol girl that look like Brandy a freaky neaky

-R. Kelly shower

 

[Return of the Jedi]

Ok so which poster is a writer on this shyt?

We've always theorized Bino lurks The Coli


...overall, this was a mediocre season by Atlanta standards. I hope season 4 abandons the anthology bits and provides all four of these characters the closing arcs they deserve.

Season 2 is still my favorite but 3 was solid, the KS episode and the nandos episode were my top two

 

[Sbp]

This shyt ain't hitting like yall trying to pretend it is gotta call a spade a spade. Do better Donald.

 

[Methodical]

Sorry for your loss

Nah, she was a bit crazy and way too obsessed with me, wanna marry me, and wanna have a child with me, she was moving too fast, she was quick to say "I love you" many times when we only dated for like 6 months so I had to cut her off.

 

[Sunalmighty]

I haven't watched a single episode.

So season 3 is trash?

 

[Frieza666]

lol nah it’s elite everyone is just bytching over the “non cannon” episodes
