It reminds me of the Cover Girl “CG” logo - I’ve never been able to see that buckle without immediately thinking “why would someone wear a makeup brand logo as a belt??”

People pay craploads of money to become walking ads. I applaud the brilliance of that scam.

G belts have been “a thing” at least since Tom Ford started at Gucci (so, you know, at least 25 years), but ok.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely?

Why is it unfair for his victims that she got half his money?

Her focus is on her kids - that they now have to be subjected to the humiliation of it out in the press and social media. He had a massive amount of entitlement that allowed him to abuse power and be downright disgusting. She didn’t think she married THAT man. He may not even have been like that in the beginning. He…

Monique is the second female friend of Van's that we've met, and both friends have traded themselves to men for money. Like there's this subtle pressure on Van to do the same. It's really interesting.

I'll start off by saying I'm aware some of the feelings I had watching this were super uncool and pretty racist but I can't quite shake them.

Foolhardy and optimistic is covered by Paperboi and Darius. Earn's jadedness adds necessary balance. _Nobodoy_ getting jaded about this stuff would read as fake.

This really is a weird show. The awkward social comedy reminds me of what Netflix has been reveling in. Atlanta would fit right in their library, with stuff like Master of None or Love. I also wonder, with the criticisms of how jarring some threads get dropped or called back, how much more suited this might be for…

Watching this and Insecure, I'm reminded how much otherness there is in being an ally.

Not the funniest episode of Atlanta, but it had sooooo much going on in it that I need to unpack. If I had to sum up the ideas in the episode with one phrase, it would be "should have".

I thought the whole Craig arc was really interesting and multi layered. I might be reading too much into this, but he was the most genuine character at the party. It is easy to cringe as Craig gets too heavily invested in a culture that is not his own, confidently states he understands the one true meaning of what…

Pretty sure the white faced child was just for laughs/creeps.

Oh for fuck's sake, no it is not. However, your question suggests that you are a racist (not so obliquely either) which is a much better indicator of sociopathy than smoking weed.

Jayde ordering the Snapper and the Snake Bean salad when Van just ordered the Pad Thai, said so much about how much they feel comfortable spending.

That's when you transition to trophy wife - maybe not of a pro athlete (unless you get pregnant) but some C-Level executive or professional (lawyer, doctor, etc.).

Slightly longer than average groupies. She's a sophisticated world traveler who knows her shit. She wasn't kidding with the value part.

This may be controversial but this was the best episode of the series so far. It made amazing points within a short amount of time and with very few words. What I like most about this show is its comments on day to day life for people in their mid to late 20s. It doesn't bash you over the head with its themes like a…
