I'm a week behind but the special effects involving the feral hog attack where weirdly good. That whole scene could have looked very corny but they pulled it off somehow.

This is the Reddit post I mentioned where he discusses the "It's all a dream" theory earlier in the year. quote:This "theory" is honestly more than a theory at this point with the amount of times the show has confirmed it already. But I believe it's a dream/simulation (google: "MKUltra"; the girl he meets in S3E3 name is MK) they're living in. The first calling of this was in the pilot episode. Darius makes it very clear that the whole episode felt like "Deja vu, from a dream I had." And says something about how it feels like he is still dreaming. Then, It is confirmed that it's a dream in the first episode, because Darius talks about how there was a dog in his dream "with a spot that looked like Texas on him" and he looks for it, and BOOM! The dog is there confirming his Deja vu, isn't actually that, but he's really consciously dreaming.

They experience a lot of surreal things because they’re characters in a surreal television show, which could be considered a “simulation” in some sense

Big interview with Hiro Murai in Rolling Stone: https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-features/atlanta-interview-hiro-murai-finale-1234626450/ Did Donald go Method-y in between takes, or was he acting like his normal self under the prosthetics? We referred to him as “Teddy” the whole shoot. Keith didn’t know who Teddy was for the first three days of shooting, and nobody would tell him. He was so uneasy! He basically interrogated every crew member to figure out who he was. And every time he asked me, “Who is this dude?” I go, “It’s Teddy. We got the real guy.”

It's just kind of a fun meta bit and they've repeatedly told people not to nerd out about "solving" the show. Also that's a neat interview.

lol The Ringer did an episode ranking and seven of the bottom eight are from season 3. That’s just boring listmaking even if you agree. https://www.theringer.com/tv/2022/11/11/23449717/atlanta-fx-episodes-ranked-best-worst-season

It is a decent list overall tbh except for season 3 getting wildly underrated. I’ll probably do my own ranking at some point. But yes also every Atlanta episode is good

ruddiger posted:The minoooooots thing was twin peaks spooky. We are like the dreamer who dreams, and then lives inside the dream. But who is the dreamer? Great show, great finale. It’s amazing how fully realized the universe they created was, that they could do an episode about literally anything and not even have the characters from the show in it and it’s still “an Atlanta episode”. I think the Lynch comparison is apt, because he’s one of the only other people that could pull that off while keeping the viewers on board for the ride.

Rich Wigga Poor Wigga is in the top 10 best episodes. It was almost the finale of season 3 it's so good.

Their top 3 was my top 3 so I can't hate. I'd put trini 2 de bone below rich wigga poor wigga but honestly I thought all the s3 anthology episodes other than 3 slaps were weak compared to what the show usually brings to the table.

Woods is great but would probably sit just outside of a top 10 for me. The other two are obvious GOATs

I really don't like B.A.N. That, and Trinnie 2 da Bone would be in my bottom handful of episodes. Rich Wigga, Poor Wigga and Terrarae would be top ten material. Still need to finish Season 4 though.

Yeah, I don't want to pick at the list too much because I started trying to make up a bottom 10 and found it was pretty hard (and obviously stuff like the anthology episodes are divisive), but B.A.N. and Juneteenth being that high seemed off to me. Although it'd be interesting to see how the Juneteenth episode feels now. They had their moments but there was a lot of better competition. And "Go For Broke" in the bottom 10 feels off. It's simple, but Earn's dinner plans going array was funny and the meeting with the Migos in the woods was great too.

Go For Broke would be in my bottom 5 and B.A.N is absolutely an all-timer for me haha I actually don’t know for sure that Teddy Perkins is my favourite episode these days. It probably is but it has some insanely stiff competition from like, the s3/4 premieres (one of the worst things about that list is how low Three Slaps is! c’mon, son!), Goof, Crank Dat Killer, New Jazz…….incredible how many 10/10 episodes this show gave us

Yeah, it's kind of impressive that there were so few truly bad ones I can think of. Trini 2 De Bone is probably the worst for me, and even that was just because it was nothing special or interesting. If it was in some other anthology series I'd say that it was decent.

I thought I liked Teddy Perkins a lot more than Barbershop when I first saw them live, but rewatches have shown that Barbershop is the superior episode. Not that Perkins is bad, but once you get the "wtf is this" out of the way it's not as impactful

Barbershop is definitely up there as a contender and Teddy Perkins really isn't. It's a good story, I mean everything in Atlanta is good, but Teddy Perkins just doesn't hold up. I could watch Barbershop now and be entertained, but if I watched Teddy Perkins now i'd probably skip through a bit. Edit: Also this made me realize that Brian Tyree Henry really excels. It's not surprising he is absolutely killing it mainstream more than anyone else on the show. I just watched a movie with him and Jennifer Lawrence and he carried it.

Rich Wigga, Poor Wigga - both the blackness interview and the loving end shot where he looks at the camera - is the hardest I've laughed at this show. I don't know if it's my favourite episode, but The Goof Who Sat By the Door is definitely one of the most enjoyable ones for me. Just, a legitimately well-done fake documentary on top of everything else. The finale of season 3 was also incredible. Alexander Skarsgård killed it. The worst episode that comes to mind is probably the Migos one in season 1. Just didn't really do it for me.

I appreciate the attention to detail in The Goof Who Sat By the Door but it's not anywhere in the realm of one of my favorite episodes.

An episode of Atlanta cannot be a fav unless it features Paper Boi being put upon and exasperated by life's circumstances. Goof is a banger, but I don't think it would be in my top 10.

rewatching 3 and 4 all the scenes in Three Slaps building up to the fostering are so loving well-written and then after that it’s so beautifully creepy. hitting your kids is still bad tho second episode has a slightly too broad Darius occasionally like more typical stoner lines but otherwise is basically a 10 for me, the slow way they reveal the time skip and Paper Boi’s rise in fame/Earn actually managing good is very effective, and Al in jail/the Tupac funeral/every time Brian Tyree Henry has to react to blackface are all perfect

So few US-based (or even EU ones) shows understand how truly weird and idiosynchratic Europe can be sometimes, but Atlanta pulls it off without any effort. This is one reason why I hold season 3 in such high esteem. I also enjoy the futility of discussing whether the show is a dream or not when the final episode is literally called "It Was All a Dream". Obviously there's more to it than that because the show is what it is, but Donglover knows what he's doing.

The Darius subplot in 303 is so funny and then Jai Paul showing up out of nowhere would be the perfect capstone but they still top it with “her mum can rot in North Korea for all I care” hahaha. The thing with the black artist scamming the rich white dude isn’t the strongest storyline (at least until you get to the First Bank picture) but the Al stuff is great too. I feel like as funny as the Tupac funeral scene is to us it’s definitely meant to have been super traumatic for Van
