I tried looking for one and was surprised to not find any threads on Atlanta (maybe there was one from the before times given it's been 4 years since season 2 ended). Anyone watching? The first two episodes dropped last week, the wife and I just watched them and the show is firing on all cylinders. The first episode in particular shows what Donald Glover and director Hiro Murai could do with a feature film with a budget. Really enjoying the show so far and glad to have it back. Anyone else watching? If so, thoughts?

 

Also, weird to realize Donald Glover is 38, Brian Tyree Henry is 39, while Lakeith Steinfeld and Zazie Beets are 30. Being 35, I felt like they were younger characters - nice to know I'm not so old from the outside looking in. Looking at it in that light, if Earn is also 38 years old, damn, it's time to get his shit together, you have a daughter man!

I've heard such good things about this show that I'm definitely going to have to check it out realtively soon!

One of those shows I keep meaning to watch...

 

And then I watch the same episodes of Seinfeld for the millionth time instead.

Fortunately, I don't have that problem as I'm extremely lukewarm about Seinfeld :p

 

Which is truly shocking considering your levels of misanthropy.

I have seen maybe an episode or 2 and that’s it. Although I watched the premiere episode “Three Slaps” and fucking loved it. I can’t see how it won’t get some notice come time for Emmy nominations.

Another show I’m weirdly behind on. I still haven’t seen season 2, and I’ve had plenty of time.

This is a show all of you would like or love, and it's only 10/11 episodes per season and most episodes are like a half hour usually. C'mon now, easy to binge! Seasons 3 and 4 were show concurrently and Donald Glover announced season 4 will be the end, so now's the time to get on the train.

I don't "binge" as I consider it to be immoral :p

 

 

Well however you watch it it'll go quicker than whatever 1 hour per episode 12 episode show you're probably watching! :p

Oh sure, it’s just a dozen quick episodes of this, then a few dozen episodes of Peaky Blinders, then however many seasons of Better Call Saul to catch up on before that final season, now watch all of The Last Kingdom now that it’s done and I can get ready for whatever movie(s) come after that. Plus like 30 more shows from just the last year or two that I should watch. :p Generally I love TV and staying caught up with all the big shows, but more and more lately it’s felt overwhelming, so I’ve been saying “fuck it” and rewatching older comfort shows while playing games on my iPad.

I have finally started watching Atlanta!

 

The first two episodes of the final season just dropped last Thursday night, the season has now begun - the wife and I finally watched them and they were really good. Where are you at at this point in the show?

I'm just glad someone else on the boards is watching! Thoughts so far? 

 

It's perhaps one of the most fascinating, compelling shows I've seen in ages - it's so very difficult to characterize as to exactly what it's supposed to "be"!

I whole heartedly agree with you. Once you see B.A.N., Teddy Perkins, and Three Slaps (three different episodes), the show becomes something Lynchian. The surreality and dream logic also remind me of Jodorowsky and Refn at times. You can see why I've been pushy about it on the boards.

B.A.N. and Teddy Perkins were definitely unconventional in every sense of the word.

 

Hell, Teddy Perkins could very well be one of the most terrifying pieces of media I've ever experienced!

Anyone who says Teddy Perkins isn't a legitimately scary episode of TV is trying to act tough. Glover's performance was unnerving and unnsettling.

 

Also, it's random, but some episodes have mid-credits scenes and some have end credits scenes and some have both and some have none. I've sometimes missed them and had to go back, so thought I'd give a heads up just in case!

This is more for @Commissar SFLUFAN, but if you catch up in time to see this show week to week, the Dasani bit in episode 3 got me good. I think you will thoroughly enjoy it. I'm Pakistani-American, but watching shows like Atlanta gives me such great insight into at least an aspect of Black culture and experiences, I feel like, and the Dasani bit feels like a deep cut. I hope more people watch the show "Ramy" (Mahershala Ali is in it!) to get a PA/NJ brown guy from South Asia perspective.

It's the best show on TV right now and if you're not watching, you're a bad person. Them's the rules, sorry.

 

I wanted to eat that sandwich in the most recent episode. Might try to make it.

 

EDIT: Oh, and the MF DOOM stuff in the premiere was aces. Wonderful way to pay tribute. Loved Paper Boi following the clues along to Blue Blood's music ("played" by the MF-DOOM-inspired Earl Sweatshirt!)

I am also very curious to try that sandwich now.

Just binged the whole series and got to episode 2 of the most current season. I have a TON of thoughts, but all I'll say for now is Earn has become the black Walter White with what he pulled in this episode.

I am very much looking forward to reading your thoughts on this series!

Alright, done with Season 3 and on to Season 4!

 

Season 3 was one of the most interesting/unique television viewing experiences I've ever had.  I really don't think there's a way for me to adequately describe it at all!

 

It's so good, I concur! Fans of the show found season 2 and moreso season 3 divisive. Some just want comedy chemistry with the cast and a straightforward story but I prefer this instead. Donald Glover and the crew are aware of it because their plot summaries for season 3 episodes were ridiculous when the season initially dropped. Let me know what you think of season 4 so far. Last Thursday's episode was another winner.
