We were not aware that this was based on a real story from a few years back. Thankfully too, it wouldn't have been funny at all. Ugh.
I felt gutted when I found out about the real story. But the guy asking if Hugs was his dad was fucking hilarious 🤣
yep, folks in ATL recognized it immediately, as well as the actual Lake Lanier warnings (still claiming bodies this year). There are some pretty good thinkpieces around this episode and about how racism is this invisible fabric of malice woven into the reality of Black Americans, capable at any time of spawning horrors both real and supernatural. Which is what Jordan Peele tapped into, and others have since copied. In this case, we have the spectre of a poltergeist like situation where vengeful spirits snatch people. And in the other, these a couple of faux liberal white women have found a way to work the system by exploiting black (in this specific case) children in need of placement.
@@gr8esthandleeveri legit didnt catch that line the first time i watched the this episodes..i legit just started crying..Lmaoo
And the opening on the Lake was a reference to Lake Lanier here in GA, if you hadn't ever read about it's history it was basically another Black Wall Street/Tulsa/Rosewood situation where a lynching in 1912 caused the displacement of ALL 1,100 black citizens. White girl was graped and killed they accused blacks and Emmitt Tilled a number of black youths 1, they went straight & stole him from the jail amd lynched him others were tried by all white juries and ofc found guilty and subsequently hanged in public even though that was outlawed at the time, *Nightriders* which is essentially the Klan came through told the blacks they either leave or die and the one's who didn't...died. properties went into white ownership.
People say that it's haunted not only because of the many deaths of drownings that's happened over the years, but the bottom is literally a Ghost Town! It displaced 250 families with it's construction and you can still see the schools, roads, churches, and many cemeteries(whom many bodies have been displaced as well)
It's a terrible history but I remember watching the episode and knowing exactly what Donald was going for when that happened.
Jimmy. I live in Oregon....and when I tell you that goddamn photo of that black kid hugging that officer was almost in every school,every hipster coffee shop that had a BLM sign in its window,and on every white ladies Facebook page. Even my sister,who is white and 20 years older than me due having a different dad,had this shit posted on her Facebook. I never bought into that photo and thought it was weird,and low and behold years later as I watch this episode I learn about the horror story that was actually behind that photograph. Straight up white Lesbian Slavers bruh and the fact that the story of what happened to this family isn't a major story in Oregon after all these years is insane
Hi black guy here and I lived in Portland when this was happening and you are absolutely right! Use to live in the Hawthorne area and every bar to music shop had that kid's photo
I found it interesting that when the social worker showed up at Loquarius Mom's house she had an police escort, the social worker checking in on the white ladies showed up by herself.
Yeah, it show what society sees as a threat vs. the real threat!
I love it when Atlanta does its Twin Peaks / Jordan Peele thing. This show has added a ton to the surreal TV canon.
I love the A24 ish approach they took with the series. But I can understand why fans recoiled from the turn
We actually waited nearly 4 years for this. Season 2 ended May 2018 and Season 3 premiered in March 2022.
I could only imagine how frustrating it must’ve been to wait 4 years to return with that episode
If you aren't from GA, you can't really explain how fucked up Lake Lanier is. The bodies it's claimed. It's no joke. And people keep swimming in it lol.
Yep. Always refuse to go near it lol
Yea I'm not FROM here. From Louisiana but I've lived here a while, and I always mention Lake Laniers crazy history, I mention plenty of other things this country has done post slavery because it seems some feel that JUST because slavery ended and all blacks didn't become successful people it's all our fault and absolutely nothing else could be even a bit of a factor. Black Wallstreet is the most used example of massacres and shit that's been done to our successful communities Watchmen series showed it but I feel because that's the only one they talk about it's seen as "the only time it happened." Nooo that's not the case and I just seen them talk about it again the other day on the news a survivor Viola Fletcher who's 109 was 7 wheh it happened became the oldest person to publish a memoir in July. She advocated over the years along with her brother who also was 102 before he passed in recent years, testified in congress over reparations ofc denied.
But I digress I always say we can't only use 1 example! Lake Lanier needs to be talked about just as much. We've built up great communities post slavery and the white man didn't say "good job niccas for being productive" they wanted to steal it as well and could get it through legal means or by *illegal but legal" means I.E. murdering them.
I also always mention Bruce's Beach in California, a black man in 1912 bought up property to have a resort places where blacks could go they had dance halls, lodges, etc. Cool place, but whites didn't like blacks being so close to *their lines" and just few years later in 1924 they stole it using eminent domain to "build a park" razed the buildings to the ground including their own family property guess when that park got built? Damn 60's only after the city got scared the family would sue. This has only been resolved recently the area wasn't named "Bruce's Beach" until 2012 obviously a token gesture as they(the city) still owned it. Then in 2021 they voted to give it back to his great grandsons ofc the climate we're in and Cali being as liberal as they are can't still be profiting from well documented stolen black property and only last year 2023 was the transfer completed. That means they got almost 100years of stolen millions maybe even billions black community dollars that we apparently can't build ourselves according to some. The grandsons sold it back for $20M and I'm fine with that however the family should've been awarded more than that anyway because stealing profit for a century then just giving back the property aren't equal at all. It also still happens today you might have heard but locally I THINK Gwinnett County? Don't hold me to that a white group is taking advantage of a 90+ year old black man with dementia trying to get his property that's been his family's for over 100yrs. He's already sold them some land, and they kept coming back trying to get the rest, the family told them stop He's not even fully aware he's not there fully to be negotiating and they STILL went behind their back trying to get it from him lowball offers at that. Not only that but they then threatened to get it through you guessed it eminent domain! SMH and I think it's for some BS zoo, water park, muesum idk some shit like that, but only after it ofc got backlash when people heard about it did they back off the eminent domain threats however last I checked they were still wanting the property.
I take any chance I get to bring awareness to these nefarious ass atrocities that not just happened but CONTINUES to happen today, maybe not with the murder but still happens because I get tired of them saying my people can't make great communities NAH BIH! We been making them, and every time it's some bs introduced from outside the community members that bring it to ruin.
Jamie Neumann is the actress who plays Gayle. I've only ever seen her in two other things: Lovecraft Country and Jessica Jones. Very good screen presence. All three very different roles & I remember all three being absolute fucking menaces.
She was also in The Deuce playing a far more sympathetic character.
Even lil homie gettin slapped its from a real story remember seein it on world star shit is hilarious
Pretty hilarious and entertaining that a lot of the absurd stuff that happens is based on real life events lol
The first time I saw this episode, I immediately knew this was inspired on Devonte's (and the other kids) real life horrific story
the first season had B.A.N. the second season had Teddy Perkins and FUBU, i never found the anthology episodes out of place
Well, none of those are actually anthology episodes, seeing as they still deal with characters we care about. B.A.N. is a surrealist meta-parody episode which features Al and still takes place in the world of the show (whereas "The Big Payback," for example, definitely is in a different continuity), . Teddy Perkins is just a Darius solo adventure with a truly memorable surrealist character (parody of Michael Jackson among others). And FUBU is a flashback episode. They are definitely self-contained and surreal, but Atlanta has other episodes that do this too besides the three you mentioned.
I actually never looked at the anthology episodes as being in a different continuity (though they could definitely be a dream) even the big payback alot of that episode is though Marshall eyes where for him his life is changing, but like another character said it doesn't effect everyone. I only talked about those 3 episodes because for me they had the same feel as the anthology episodes later in the series, even if the "characters we care about" were in them
Thank yall for reacting to this show. This is my favorite season. This episode was semi-based on real events.
Fun fact "Gail" was also in TV show Love Craft Country and she was memorable in that too!
Based on Devonte Hart story in California....so sad.
This show is incredible.
I think the issue with season 3 is not that the anthology episodes aren't good - they're all very well written and acted. The issue is that they come after two seasons of semi-serialized storytelling and worldbuilding and character development, and are interspersed with 5 other episodes in S3 that are continuing that story in a way that is also extremely surrealist/magic realist. So the season really doubles down on being trippy and surreal while also giving you half as much time with the characters you care about as previous seasons did.
Thematically the whole season fits together quite well, and tonally, but it's just hard to motivate yourself to watch the next episode when you know it's going to be an anthology one, and probably pretty depressing viewing too. Another way to put it is - how many Atlanta viewers would have signed up to watch a half hour live-action anthology series that's primarily focused on race and is darker than it is funny (although it is pretty funny)? I can only speak from my POV as a white dude, but I would imagine not many.
I think S4 strikes a much better balance - still having plenty of really surreal and thematically challenging episodes, but being much more refocused on the characters we already care about. Still, season 3 is incredibly well made and has some really fantastic moments. Each main character also does have an arc that runs through it - it's just not entirely clear what that is for all of them, at first.
Dude you nailed it.
I binged seasons 3 & 4 so I didn’t have to wait. Had I had to wait it would’ve frustrated me
this episode was real horror
“This is Earn’s dreams.” 🤔🤔
Who’s gonna tell em
I like Gayle…oh wait.
I hope these kids seen the movie “GET OUT”
I love how the cops didnt show up "for safety" when the black social worker rolled up
This episode fucked me up
season 3 is based
yo, the final episode of AOT is out. When are you going to do a reaction?
This episode reminds me of the hart family 🤐🤐🤐
