Malia Obama was in the writers room like "lets make a joke about vegetables and eating healthy again keep them on their toes "

Yo I’m still f***ing laughing at the “nigga… Twitter” scene

Jesus Christ that s*** was funny

I could always count on Atlanta to make me laugh uncontrollably atleast once per season

Very refreshing to have this happen again on a new show

Wanna kiss kiersey Clemons in the mouth

Don’t know what you’re talking about

Show could have done a whole lot more with its premise. I feel like the writing wasn't strong enough to inspire better performances from the actors and that led to an overall underwhelming show, especially when you consider how much better it could have been if it's execution was handled with more care.

Had to stop lurking and post on the alt

@ShintaroKago lol you going in in here. Kinda disagree with you about the mental health trope. Don't think they over did it

you talking about finishing Atlanta?

because if you are please dont let this show put you off it the last season of atlanta is great

Don’t think they overdid it ? I mean I would say it was just right until unreliable narrator “ twist “ that was clear throughout show. Like ending just didn’t really land saying a whole lot of anything to me . That wasn’t made apparent for most of series . It was in many ways redundant but whole time I was marathoning I would think “ they about to take it another direction say something and land “ .

I mean I get some loving the reality documentary episode but viewing it as genius baffles me some cause he has done it before and other shows have as well. The unreliable narrator reveal or knowing she is seeing delusions is and was already apparent throughout all of series . Even if we are led to believe the she killed marissa theory or anything this show just feels missing something anything

Will give it a chance then

You said people don’t like surrealism when episode 6 took away from a lot of the surrealism with its execution. Yes I get why have an episode 6. But feel it over over explained

Main character acting wise did well with what they gave her and some sides

Part of what I got was that we prefer the surrealism too than the true crime story . We like the fiction where it looks like a meme more than the reality . Which would also obviously apply to a Dahmer like situation or any true crime marathon vs fiction tv show . People can marathon true crime shows all day and be looking for the “ why” as the detective said like what moment made her “ crazy “ . When in her case the fandom replaced her reality and her family . Some of which worked for me whether it was their intention or not . The levels the internet , tv and delusion augments reality or in her case her favorite artist made her feel empowered, special , acknowledged, loved where other characters shunned her or called her weird and didn’t value her

It again just felt like so more with it for me . Not a terrible anything though to be clear .

@saveme

Was thinking when she met nija it was really her and the cop in a cop car

which episode you talking about? i might do a rewatch cuz i missed some details as well

Last episode last scene.

Yea def rewatching cause I forgot Marissa died in the first episode

Goofy Episode GOATED you trippin.

Agree with the killings getting repetitive and there being no real stakes. I still need to finish the show tho

Lmfao

Never came back to tlou thread but did the thread like the ending?

Overall ? Yes . Some show only felt it did a lot fast . No major grievances with finale itself . People were just a lil mixed on season overall or loved it with more potential for next

Heard that too.

I know people have their issues with Invisible Man but I was so glad it wasn't all in her head

I hated it in Joker lol

True lol it’s really so much it’s done in now always meant to be like “ what a twist “

Yeah it’s definitely a crutch that’s used to muddy the waters / hide things from the audience by just lying instead of sleight of hand/misdirection which I’m not a big fan of.

where for me in this case we kind of from beginning knew she was an unreliable narrator . She magically went from social outcast to serial killer . Like the whole show you give them suspension of disbelief so I’m confused on the reasoning

Atlanta is probably the best show ever made. Swarm is more American psycho than atlanta. Atlanta is its own thing
