    Based on a True Story

    For everyone wondering why they went this route, This episode is based on a true story look it up, Brilliant episode but sad and unfortunate that it's very true smh.

    Reality and anguish

    A mastery of storytelling; I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. I knew what this was based-a bonafide true life horror story. This is how the original news story *should* have ended. This is an elegy for those lost children.

    All hail Atlanta. We really missed you.

    Great

    Another thrillerish episode of Atlanta and its great. Also my mind is blown, I just found out this is based on a true story. Great episode, the writers can do no wrong in my eyes.

    Fire opening standalone.

    I think this season will be my favorite yet, and solidify Atlanta as my second favorite show of all time. It's like a Jordan Peele horror flick, hope Donald and Hiro do more like this later, and maybe make it it's own series of standalone horror films. With great child stars and great talented writers that care about what they're doing, ATL season 3 doesn't disappoint.

    Atlanta is back!!!!

    Oh boy this episode is so damn good. Honestly didnt expect the first episode to be this intense. This episode had "Teddy Perkins" vibes. Cant wait to watch rest of the season. Donald Glover and Hiro Murai have crafted one of the greatest shows of all time.

    • Trivia
      Loquareeous hugs the police officer while pleading for help and is later shown to be a headline story in the newspaper. This is a recreation of the famous "Hug felt around the world" when Devonte Jordan hugged a police officer during the nationwide Ferguson protests and the photo became a phenomenon. The episode loosely adapts his story through the character of Loquareeous.
