I encourage everybody to watch that episode, especially if you're familiar with the tragedy
I remember talking to a white person about that photo, and even they felt like it was some sort of stunt, but to understand how deep it went and see that photo now......heartbreaking. Thats why I'll never feel sorry for the white alphabet community or the "hetero" ones. I'm gonna find a way to transfer my hate to a Chucky doll when I pass so my vengeance can be carried on.That first episode was brilliantly written, and worth the wait (the second ep was cool, too).
As soon as LaQuarius put on the fedora, I got the Devonte Hart connection and my heart sank because I knew what was going to happen.
Also, the scene with the policeman was like a gut punch. When it happened IRL, some people online were calling Devonte a little coon and other names. It was interesting to see another reason why Devonte hugged that cop.
I don't want to spoil anything else, but it was definitely an amazing start to the season.

Maaan brilliant is understatement. That was one of the best pieces of television I've ever seen in my life. It was flawless, especially having knowledge of the storyThat first episode was brilliantly written, and worth the wait (the second ep was cool, too).

They had a tranny scene in season 2, but I don't remember anything else that was out of pocket.I thought the episodes in season 1 not written by Glover were the best. Didn't like the 2nd season at all. I'm willing to give season 3 a try. I feel like they are about to sneak some agenda in before the season ends tho.....
In episode one it was a B1 agenda so that's cool. Episode 2 was regular hilarious Atlanta shit in AmsterdamI thought the episodes in season 1 not written by Glover were the best.

I just see Devante as an innocent. Not a coon, bootlick or any of that. Just a child who genuinely loved everyone. Beyond a Black Prince, a Black Angel. 🙏🏽❤🙏🏽Maaan brilliant is understatement.

And yea, I love how they portrayed devante as not with all that huggin the cop shit they had him on
The tone of the show changed in season 2. It went from being a comedy, to something more akin to a Black Twilight Zone.I'm conflicted about the episodes. The ideas were cool, but not sure about the execution and its intent. For example, in the first episode, he brings all these things to light, then I felt like it was a slap in the face when he wrote up next to a random white chick.
He brought some valid things to the forefront. I also think he needs a writer's room. So far, the show hasn't been the same grade of quality since the first season. Outside of the barbershop episode, season 2 was forgettable to me. I'll see what Season 3 holds, but from what I know about Donald, it's a "black" show that caters to white liberals. ...that's just my perspective.
You're right. Devonte was no coon. He (and his siblings) seemed like a nice, INNOCENT child who was abused, manipulated, and murdered by two very evil women.I just see Devante as an innocent. Not a coon, bootlick or any of that. Just a child who genuinely loved everyone. Beyond a Black Prince, a Black Angel. 🙏🏽❤🙏🏽
very true.The tone of the show changed in season 2. It went from being a comedy, to something more akin to a Black Twilight Zone.
The barbershop episode was really the only really funny episode last season. We went from Bibby the barber straight to Teddy Perkins and The Woods. There wasn't another lighthearted moment until we saw Tracy again in the season finale.
The show is dark now.

I still don't get the hype about the Teddy perkins episode. I had white folks coming to my cubicle asking me what I thought about that episode. I was like "weird?" The best episode in the show's entirety was the one about transracialism and had all teh weird skits and commercials. I heard Donald didn't write that one and I believe it. It was actually clever and the humor wasn't too obvious or predictable.The tone of the show changed in season 2. It went from being a comedy, to something more akin to a Black Twilight Zone.

Adoptions like THIS (2 cave bishes wanting a gang of "Black kids") need to be banned GD!!!! They dont allow black couples to collect white kids like this so why is this ok for whites to do? GD the sun just needs to get 10 miles closer and this pink gutter race WILL die off.View: https://twitter.com/therunneryogi/status/1507182673814597635?t=EGo8oDPrjX_gvfpkOLTq3Q&s=19

you nailed it!! Just a show with black people in it. That's EXACTLY what it is.Its not even a "black" show now. It's just a show with black people in it.
S1 was cool but got to experimental with S2.

It went from a show with a plot to a bootleg Curb Your Enthusiasm/Seinfeld in Black face. Shit got gentrified just like Atlanta did.you nailed it!! Just a show with black people in it. That's EXACTLY what it is.
I'm not sure if I recall trannies in season 2, but there were a few trannies that were featured in some of the season 1 episodes.They had a tranny scene in season 2, but I don't remember anything else that was out of pocket.
Wow... I didn't watch the rest of the season and glad I didn't. They slid that right in there. Smh. Trash ass show.I'm not sure if I recall trannies in season 2, but there were a few trannies that were featured in some of the season 1 episodes.
Now there is an episode in season 3 that features a histrionic transwoman character that follows Paper Boy around in episode 8 though. Definitely pushing that agenda and sneaking it in hoping you don't clock or detect it. felt something was off with the "woman" character, so I did some research and found this:
The “New Jazz” episode of season 3 sends Alfred (aka Paper Boi) down the rabbit hole of seedy Amsterdam when he quickly gets separated from Darius after they eat a powerful cookie (or cannabis space cake). He stumbles into an art gallery where he bumps into Lorraine, a trans woman (this isn’t made explicitly clear in the episode, but she is portrayed by a transwoman named Ava Grey, of Pose fame) who jabs at Alfred’s insecurities, takes him to a weird club, and tells him his friends are using him for money (the beginning of the episode shows Darius getting him to pick up every bill) before leaving him curled up in the street, muttering to himself. An exchange between Earn and Alfred in the episode’s last scene reveals that Lorraine was Alfred’s mother’s name, and the record deal that Earn negotiated for Al includes ownership of his masters.
'Atlanta' Is At Its Best When It Does a Paper Boi Episode
Have you noticed the eighth episode of all three 'Atlanta' seasons is always Alfred-centric?www.gq.com
