B.A.N.

This episode is very funny and bold. I like how Donald Glover had the balls to take shots at the media and point how you can't say something is weird without being attacked by the media. Also the Dodge commercial was all too real.

This is episode felt weird and disjointed from the rest of the series. It's fine if the creators want to break convention and do something different, but it was a bit jarring to go from the end of episode 6 and being interested in seeing the aftermath of Van losing her job to...whatever this was. Oh well, I'm assuming the story just continues in episode 8.

As for the episode itself, I probably would have had a higher opinion of this episode had I watched it when it came out. Seeing it almost two years later shows how dated it is. The issues discussed have already been debated ad naseum so I was honestly tired watching this episode. After a while I just gave up trying to figure out what point the show was trying to make and just decided to treat the debate as comedic nonsense.

Not to be a total downer, the commercials while weird were pretty funny.

It seems a lot of people really enjoyed this episode, and I can understand why. Though, I just found it to be kind of unnecessary for a show with a season of 10 episodes. I will say, the episode was certainly creative and I appreciate it when creators try to break the mold and try something new.

1. Alfred's on an interview 2. Dodge commercial 3. Harrison gets a bang

I love this episode. It's super meta, being a tv show in a tv show and it's so full of satire and irony. Every single ad of the Black American Network in itself is funny and offers a social commentary. It only features Black Americans in its ads and it almost looks unnatural to seem them act in a way that you would see in a normal TV ad. I also found the whole interview hilarious. The age-old debate of the rap community being homophobic or transphobic was featured and Alfred's take on it is probably the most common opinion. The reaction of people being easily offended or misinterpreting the person online is so real and it was captured hilariously.

In a comedic tone, this episode also questions you about your own biases before trying to preaching diversity to others. Harrison, a black man who thinks he's white, asks other to embrace his own trans-racial identity but he's transphobic and homophobic himself. I don't think Donald Glover necessarily interjects his own opinion or make a value judgement. He just tries to captures the conversation that happen in real life in a TV format. I think comedy is great in that sense because it expands the spectrum of the dialogue by allowing it more room.

While this episode steered from Atlanta's usual format, it's high class satire with a unique lens. Loved it so much!

I died laughing when the swisher sweet and mickeys commercial

This episode is really good, i think i really like it because of how experimental it is/ was. Donald Glover does a great job with the Entire Atlanta Show ( This is my First Time watching the Show, but this episode deservers 10/10 stars so here i am reviewing it. ) the episode is unique and had me laughing, no matter if it was the commericals just being so honest and funny, the dodge charger arc was hilarious ( JUST WATCH IT!) the talk show with paperboi and the lady is hilarious aswell, and the fact they made a full on cereal commerical is so funny, the entire episode feels like a love letter to television, give it a watch. You might end up wanting to rewatch it.
