Season 3 Thoughts?

Season 3 was trash however you want to look at it, but especially bad compared to seasons 1 and 2

I liked the stand alone episodes. Good writing is good writing, regardless of the lack of familiar characters.

I knew DG's head was too far up his own ass when I saw his comments complaining about people who compare Lil Dicky's show to his. Yeah I thought the first two seasons of Atlanta were better than Dave but feeling the need to publicly say how great your show is at the expense of someone else and specifically having a problem with black people who might prefer Dave? Come on.

Anyway, I don't even mind the idea of the anthology style episodes. The problem is I thought two of them were two of the weakest episodes of the series. So not only are you not getting the main crew but you're getting disappointing episodes in their place. The finale was pretty bad. Just because you reference a film like Amelie and use it as a metaphor for Van's mental health doesn't mean you're not watching really subpar television.

I noticed almost every episode was written by someone different (except two by DG I think) and that might have been part of the problem. You have a bunch of different writers trying to make their own unique mark but also hammering home the same themes. On one hand it's all over the place but at the same time you feel like you're getting the same message over and over.
