*raises hand* I'm white.
Great show, it's going to suck when it's only one 30 minute episode a week. For some reason my damn DVR didn't record it at 10pm, thankfully I woke up for some odd reason shortly before midnight and recorded that rerun.

Yeah I'm here too, not even American so im pretty far removed from the show but it makes a point whilst not being preachy, great story and characters, funny when it needs to be, touching, earnest and just quite beautifully made.
I actually hate Glover for how talented he is sometimes.

I think it will lead up to showing that you can't be successful and still stay in the hood. It's why they all get out and just visit maybe

Caught the first episode via youtube.
Man, that bus scene. I've interacted with some weird bus people, but none offered me food.
I cracked up at that universal "Nah, I'm good" expression on Earn's face.
And Dave. I've also had to deal with a few Daves growing up.

I'm not gonna lie, I lowkey hate Childish Gambino the rapper, feel like he is the ultimate cornball, but I really dig this.
I'm latino so I can relate to the feeling of having your feet in different cultures, how it can be to your advantage but you can still feel like a outsider to all sides in the end.
It's also pretty funny.
"Man, later just means you ain't gonna let me do it..."

Probably tomorrow or Friday. Timing could be a little wonky because Monday was a holiday.
Drake and Jermaine
Darius really is the GOAT, I love him. I feel like he is gonna be the other connection to the weird shit that's going on. Like the man with the nutella sandwich and the dog who people swear is in the jail. Imma have to rewatch. Also Darius sayin he got Deja Vu because of the scene from the beginning versus the end of the first episode.
I'm down for this weird shit
The dude livin with his baby mama and fucked himself over by not saying I love you at the start, it's gonna be messy
The dual/dueling identities is a pretty staple part of his work. Makes sense it carried over here. I'm assuming Princeton will come back later in the season, they mention it a lot.
Agreed. It's also why the Dave joke worked. Because Glover doesn't feel like the stereotypical hood kid, Dave felt like it was safe to use the word nigga around him.
Nah, the meta of the Deja Vu scene as someone mentioned earlier is that the same scene that's at the beginning is also at the end.
She was pressed for an "I love you" while already having a date planned.
Was Low down, I wanna know what lead to Ern having to be in the situation he's in now. Where even his momma won't let him past the porch. Ya dad, it's different. But your Moms doin that to you? Then you livin with ya baby mama who ain't ya girl. Wild
Descriptions of the show says she's his best friend. So, I'm guessing they must been friends for a while before realizing they had feelings for eachother. And still remain together as friends even if they didn't work out. Not the worst situation, but I don't think Earn's ready for the possibility of other dudes being around his daughter. And he's probably just extremely lazy. Black mom's forgive a lot, but they can't tolerate a lazy ass thinking they can just lounge around and mooch.

Just realized when the cop is taking pics with Paper Boi he's pointed a gun handsign at him
I don't get why you would think he didn't have it in him
Donald Glover is
Good at music
Good at writing
Good at comedy
Good at acting
Combines all of them together, and people are surprised it's good. Even if he's not to your taste - and his earlier stuff was all a little corny and over the top - dude always had talent and drive. You don't get the kind of opportunities to work with people like Fey and Harmon because you're lucky.

His early stuff was great. Don't diss mystery team.
Where did I diss his early stuff, I'm just talking about how people perceive it, not a judgement call. I was there when Mystery Team dropped.

i haven't seen mystery team. and to be fair i forgot he worked on 30 Rock.
but yeah i think his music is trash and his standup comedy too. so i really didn't see this coming. was his sketch comedy like this? anyways regardless this is a great show so far.

What music of his have you heard? His old sketch comedy was NOTHING like this, and neither was his work in Community. If you want to see something somewhat similar to this, you should see some of the concept stuff for his album Because the Internet. Stuff like "Clapping for the Wrong Reasons" or his actual conceptual script for Because the Internet.
The music videos and the films above were directed by Hiro Murai, who also is directing Atlanta so there's a consistent style as well.
Didn't know Hiro did Kiwanuka's Black Man In A White World. Such a awesome concept and video.

Its the same dog that was following the Sandwich Man after he got off the bus. It could be a different dog, but they used the same breed in both scenes so I have a feeling its no coincidence.
So because you don't like his music you thought his show would be trash?
That makes no sense.
