don't you hate when you have a nice date only for your girl to turn into a ghoul and wreck your whole life and give you a Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde complex
Here the series is really going on full steam and there's so much to love. It's still as funny as always, but there's also an incredible depth, a great sense of melancholy and some spectacular ideas. Plus, the Late Show storyline is amazing.
What an unexpected but welcome cameo.
Because a tiny part of you wants to jump
With Trakt's 1-10 rating scale I've reserved the Totally Ninja spot for only those shows that I consider perfect, or as close to perfect as a television series can be. So far only The West Wing, Arrested Development, and The Wire have been good enough IMO, to reach that spot... until Louie came along.
The writing, acting, and directing of every episode is pitch perfect. Just go watch it!
Very sad episode, sad vibes
Pretty cool! Shingo Natsume and his team did an excellent job following up on the work of Masaki Yuasa and co.— some of whom also make an appearance here, most notably, Natsume himself. This fits almost seamlessly with the 2010 series, certainly more than the 2017 spin-off film.
Serviceable shonen flick with some absurd monster designs and entertaining gore every other episode. Both pacing and tone have been remarkably uneven. The quality of the animation and taste in direction is remarkable, but it looks like the manga’s charm came from its rough presentation and screwball B-movie feel. In other words, there’s a chance this anime adaptation could be too lush and polished to convey the mood of the source material, that the images are not matching the tone.
The horny humor was particularly hard to take, although it’s not as insistent in the second half of the season. People keep saying that things are going to get deeper and deeper, but other than a few directorial choices here and there, everything so far has been playing along the usual anime stereotypes. Even when they attempt subtle visual storytelling, they always have to explain the obvious and spoon-feed characterization and emotional stakes instead of relying on the audience’s imagination.
I liked that they bothered to create different ending titles for each episode.
A good introduction to the actual ending, but Hange’s death was stupid as fuck. They just wanted to kill off someone at this point otherwise nothing would have happened in these 60 minutes. Fine with not wasting the titans, but what about the other useless guys? Shouldn’t they have helped? Or at least offered to? Sometimes they try to be realistic with casualties, sometimes they purposely kill off popular characters for dramatic moments, and sometimes they wrap a dozen plot armors around other characters.
cant wait for the new trailer for AOT the final season part 6 chapter 2 prologue 5 part 5 the final part part 7 the special 4!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!1!1 :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
Not a typical Atlanta episode, but a beautiful one and honestly: Who wouldn't fight for Van?
the last scene where lottie looks at her parents and smiles :')

There's just so much here that I will have to rewatch it to give a full review critiquing/examining its content, I will need to rewatch to make sure I understand it and make a new review. For now, I'm giving it 9/10 for being such a stunningly accurate portrayal of a documentary, as well as evidence of how the television landscape has changed since S01.
After the steady decline in the quality of the 'anthology' episodes of last season, it's easy to forget that for all the misses, when this show gets high concept and hits, it really hits. A masterful mockumentary in just 37 minutes, it's somehow both emotional and comedic at once. The way it both ratchets up the fraught tension of Thomas while at the same time hammering in his resemblance to Goofy until both hit a glorious crescendo just left me dying. But it's also a commentary on the black creative, on feeling the outsider, on how we project 'blackest movie ever' on a movie-one I love!- by a bunch of white people and afford actual black stories much less grace and visibility. It's an outrageous premise delivered so sharply and so concisely that it says so much in a short time. And the cast... they made a broken Goofy laugh both haunting and comedic by delivering it with every ounce of emotion they had. Just an excellent episode all around
Everything in this episode is masterful. Story, animation, action, voice acting.. everything.
Watched this on a hot summer holiday at my cousins when I was 15. Was a fever dream I won't forget... or maybe I will... not quite sure what was happening, but I loved the song used in the credits.
I can safely say that Twin Peaks is my favourite show of all time. It's magical, funny, sad and stunning. Dale Cooper will always be my favourite character and I'm sure that I will revisit this amazingly weird world many times throughout my life.
Twin Peaks is indisputably one o the greatest shows ever, however you have to watch it at the right time and recognize a few things.
First off, if you get to the end of the 3rd episode and you still don't like it, then it may not be your type of a show. That third episode is really the point where you find out if you'll like the rest or not.
Secondly, if you watch it and don't like it, then wait a couple years then come back. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have liked it if I watched it a few years ago.
Thirdly there is a noticeable drop in quality about halfway through the second season. Hammer your way through these episodes, do not skip them. I know they are painful to watch but the payoff is worth it. The show eventually does get itself back on track just in time for the final episode to be the greatest episode of any television show ever.
I recommend this show to everyone but that doesn't mean it's for everyone. Give it a shot though, it's really fucking good
this is better than IT FOLLOWS
Now this is more like it. Surrealism grounded in deft social commentary
Very special show. If you want to understand modern African American culture this is where you need to be. High end TV
Truly the most unique thing to hit the small screen since Twin Peaks. Donald Glover created something so cinematic yet wildly hilarious that deserves to be spoken about as much as dramas of the last two decades. Atlanta might be the most pivotal piece of fiction to define America since the Trump era. It's insane to see how simple some episodes could be yet alluring us by how unconventional reality can be at times. Anyways, wild! A work of art!
Louis C.K. has redefined comedy for me,and I don't want to go back ever !!!
For all the Slice of Life Genre fans, this is the one you must watch!!!!
“I haven’t paid for my own meals in 73 police shootings.”
Killer lines, and great parts for Alfred and Darius. Alfred getting invested in the thought of actually doing something and rubbing into the walls of the meaningless PR social Justice sphere when it’s funded by capitalism. And Darius just trying to exist and share something he enjoys and as ever the world pushing back on it. They’re hilarious, relatable, and tragic in their own ways. They know how this shit works, but they can’t help but want better sometimes, and then it reinforces their detachment. Earn’s and Vanessa’s storyline is a little more typical, but still engaging enough.
the actor that played that kid was so good
As enjoyable as that was, I want the alternate version where they look through the mystery rooms with Darius leading the way. And Socks just likes to watch the world burn, huh?
This might be the most traditional episode of television this show has done since early season one and it’s still absurd by so many standards. Needed more Van, but she still stole the show in her big scene.
