Atlanta's been a little too out-there this season.

There, I said it.

    what I do appreciate about atlanta is that it takes characters that could be excruciatingly annoying and makes them funny. like the barber or their new friend

    Are you watching Legion? Atlanta looks like Friends after watching Legion.

    I thought that Atlanta episode was solid. I like how they take weird approaches like that to character or story development. It seems clean Earn is gonna get fired from being his manager.

    Yeah those things have been funny. But Teddy Perkins, Woods, and even the Drake one were just strange and didn't really progress much of a story line (although you could argue Woods did a little).

    Just seems a little more than last season, when that one talk show episode with the parody commercials was about as weird as it got.

    Legion was one of my favorites last year but I'll be perfectly honest, I really have no desire to watch this season because I know it's going to be really fucking weird and I don't have time for that. I'm going to binge it all once it's done.

    I'm getting frustrated with how abstract and absurd it is. It's not enjoyable to not comprehend the storyline. There's so much to it that's just absurd for the sake of being absurd. I don't care what the writers/creators had in mind for some of the symbolism or whatever they're using. It's trying way too hard to be weird this season.

    That said, I'm giving it two, maybe three more episodes and if it's not coming together anymore I'm dropping it. I can only tolerate so much.

    Barry is getting more interesting. Nothing outstanding about the show but it definitely keeps you watching.

    I haven't watched the most recent one (watching it tonight), but this is how I would describe the show too. I'm excited to watch each week even though it's not really that great.

    I just thought there would be more comedy in it. Its a light hearted drama, thats the best I can describe it. It doesnt have any high peaks but overall its definitely a solid show, will depend on where the story goes this season. I dont know if this show has a long shelf life though, maybe 3-4 seasons absolute max.

    It's much more absurd, but it's honestly just as good (if not better) than Season One.

    ugh. don't tell me that, Clay. I loved Season One. I'll try and binge it all once it's done. I don't think I could do week to week again.

    I love Legion and all it's weirdness. Awesome aesthetics - costume, set design, cinematography. Non-linear plotlines, philosophical questions, Rachel Keller. So many positives in my book. I can see why some who prefer more traditional storytelling would not enjoy it, but this show hits all the good buttons for me.

    I love weird, but I don't really enjoy weird for the sake of weird or just incoherent weird, if any of that makes sense.


    edit: I've never seen any of Legion, just kinda thinking out loud based on how y'all are talking about it. Thinking it might not be for me.

    It's been weird. The last episode was not funny at all expect for the interaction between Paperboi and the girlfriend.

    The last funny episode was the barber episode....and that was fucking hilarious.

    So to answer your question, I have no idea.

    Thing is, I viewed Atlanta pretty much as Donald Glover's version of a Louis CK show from day one, and there's been an entire episodes of Louie that didn't have a single overt laugh in it, and they were fantastic. That Atlanta was never going to be anywhere remotely close to a straight comedy. Plus as I remember telling someone else in here a few months ago when they asked, I'm not sure where the actual quote is now, but that way back at the start Glover said he wanted to make sort of a black "Twin Peaks".


    also, any of you guys who have been watching Legion since the start but are now giving up, ya'll are crazy One of the best shows on TV, still. It's not at all "weird for the sake of being weird", and I mean that's the type of thing I feel like I've always been sensitive of. I can't stand things that are that inauthentic. and Legion is not that at all.

    This cannot fucking possibly be real. PLEASE tell me we're all just "living" in a simulation right now, cause I just give up.

    actually at this point, anything in Legion makes far more sense and is less surreal than the real world.

    Season finale of McMafia was great. Have no idea how that was doing ratings-wise, but really hope it comes back because I loved it.

    I saw an ad for that last night and thought it looked intriguing. I've only done one other IFC show (Maron) so I don't really ever tune into that station to see what's new for them.
