    Bad timing=/=bad writing

    The only critique I have about the episode despite finding this season to be it's best is that we REALLY waited almost 4 years for this, only to have half the episodes be one offs, while the others are so focused on the other characters, we don't really get to see Earn do his own little thing which is what I imagine others have been waiting for. It comes across as very underwhelming and while yea, you can't expect anything normal from Atlanta, I could see very well why this season turned so many people off.

    Season 4 is really gonna make or break this niggas claim of being the best on TV, bc the anthologies help with that though it needs to really be brought all together.

    Yeah but he said S3 and S4 is the best tv of all time besides Sopranos.

    Does anyone in they right mind think S3 is THAT great? Yea the show as a whole is great, and in hindsight maybe S3 will be placed as my favorite. But it’s a big difference between a great show and THE GREATEST show ever.

    Show already top 5 of all time in terms of comedy and this 3rd season some of the best s*** on TV rn so he made heat even when he didnt want to make it

    But did he make the best tv ever? Only second to Sopranos?
    Idc about this show being the best currently rn. That wasn’t his statement.

    Tbh, only time will tell but yea, it's not unreasonable to say that it was great because it took a risk most shows wouldn't take, which personally I respect.

    Other than Sopranos, I strongly can’t say this show is better than The wire or Breaking Bad.

    I'd put this up there with the greatest shows ever yeah.

    I’m a big character person, character and dialogue. Tony Soprano and Walter white are literally the pinnacles of great dynamic characters and are taught in screenwriting classes. They are a huge reason why the shows became what it is.

    As much as I love Atlanta, none of the characters have as strong of a characterization as other great shows. Not even current shows like Succession or Barry.

    Some can argue “but those shows had more seasons” but by the end of S2 of those shows we had a great understanding of how amazing those characters were. Al and Darius are cool characters, but they aren’t amazing.

    Aint too many shows bold enough to even attempt to do something like Three Slaps and that was the FIRST episode they came back with.
    This show is a rare breed

    Bruh I dont think in absolutes when it comes to TV like that lmfao

    Listen, Donald made a very big bold statement and I’m tryna see who agrees with that. So far I haven’t seen anyone who agrees.

    Yes there’s an elite list, but that list might consist of 5 shows, 10 shows, 20 shows, even 50. Those numbers are a big difference from being top 2.

    So Van literally having no reason to wild out other than feeling “lost” isn’t SAFE, PREDICTABLE, and BASIC as f***?

    What are u niggas talkin about.

    We're talking about two different things. I'm talking about the folks who want the show to follow the traditional TV format and have every episode follow the gang and focus on the "plot" with a beginning, middle, and end like it's the walking dead or something.

    Nah yall can’t do that bro. Y’all sit here and praise how disconnected and weird the show is. If somehow the writers did run with her being dead, y’all would enjoy it. Don’t say it’s stupid now just cus the theory came from fans on Reddit.

    In all honesty Van being dead theories make more sense than whatever the last episode was.

    In second thought Van is dead theories could STILL be true and this last episode served as a visual to purgatory. That’s not how I feel, just an example how you can literally stretch things into your own meaning with this show being the way they designed it.

    No I'm saying it's stupid cause their was nothing to support the theory. Hence why I said it fell apart with the slightest scrutiny.

    That light post didn't go through her. The light behind her shining through her thin hair made it look like it did. Optical illusion.

    The whole group and random civilans been talking to her and interacting with her, how she dead bruh?

    But that still doesn’t make sense because Earn mentioned Lottie to Van the last time they was together.

    So she was very aware of Lottie recently, magically forgot about her again and went into a crazy world of madness, but now when she gets reminded of Lottie AGAIN it all sudden clicks?

    We don’t know for sure those episodes are in chronological order but could also just be the laziness of the writers since they all wrote the episodes separately

    Wasn’t it said that Donald wanted to end at S2 and basically only did these last 2 seasons cus of fans and studio asked him to?

    I just don’t get how you can feel so confident that you created the best 2 seasons in the history of TV of a show you didn’t even care to continue? Like no one is that talented to say “meh I don’t wanna continue writing this show, but what the hell here goes the best tv show ever”

    Well his ego probably did the speaking there then for both those things tbh 🤷‍♂️

    I don’t believe she’s dead, just saying the theories didn’t just come out of nowhere.

    They just randomly made Van a meth growing hand selling weirdo, so thinking she could of been dead isn’t far fetched at all when it comes to this show.

  • May 22, 2022

    The sopranos thing was just a blatant lie because he was feeling confident in his work no way he rlly thought its best ever

    Are you saying it’s possible she did all that madness first and then the episodes of her and Earn are later?

    If that’s the case that’s even worse, so she finally snaps back into reality and remembers her daughter and still doesn’t go back home and stays in Europe longer?

    Also I thought in E2 it shows when Van first arrived in Europe and Darius picks her up

    Facts. Creatives need to learn to say less and let the art speak more.

    “iTs NoT tRaDItiOnAl” excuse doesn’t mean the writers can just do whatever they want. You can be non traditional and still be succinct. Read any type of post modern literature which is completely unhinged and left field but it still follows rules that have been around for quite literally hundreds of years. Rules that will be untouched and used till we burn from the sun. You still need to write well and there are many things in this season that shows the laziness and it comes off as amateurish. I enjoyed most of this season don’t really have a problem with finale and happy they tied some stuff up with the anthology like episodes but the laziness is quite obvious. Also the over barring “OH WE’RE WEIRD” is getting in my nerve. Most of my critiques from earlier on in the season in this thread still stand.
