No lie. This episode gave me anxiety lmao teddy gave me the craziest creepy vibes like bruh he was really about to abduct my man lmao
Yep I concur
I thot it was some KKK stuff when he said," I chose you"
I couldn't finish it in one sitting, it was stressful.
I thought in the episode teddy said he would kill him and tell the cops it was a forced entry. Close to abduct, and probably just nearly as scary what with how loopy teddy is/was.
I got some “Get Out” vibes.
Darius is probably my favorite character in the show, so I’m glad he had kind of a solo episode. It wouldn’t have been as dope if it was any other character in the show in this situation.
100%
hiro is just as much a genius as donald glover. he deserves his credit.
For sure. Donald seems to get all the credit, and granted he deserves a ton of credit, but he gets his results by collaborating with some very talented people like Hiro, Ludwig Göransson and others. The art of collaborating is an art in itself.
He deserves an Emmy for this episode!!🤗
Actually a lot of the episodes are written by his brother.
Having the privilege of money and opportunity makes it 'easy' to create other opportunities and collab. And people..the masses always need ONE face/person to adore or idolize..since people dont really tend to like 'complexity'.
I agree, he's a hero....
He has directed the greatest music videos ever. I was a fan of him before this show, and he really outdid himself. I can't state how amazingly visionary this show is
I'm *STILL* having Teddy Perkins nightmares.
Yo fr tho?
This episode was a masterpiece, when it ended I was just blown away. We need more films like this on TV.
Exactly that's so true
We don’t need TV. I’ve only ever watched this show on HULU. Now that the idiots obsessed with accessibility and appeal don’t have as much input, shows and movies can have their own artistic integrity.
Teddy and Benny were blown away too!
Yes...👦Flames!
"I'll move it?" is such a sick line lol
😂😂😂😂😂 ong
It's hilarious now that I think about it
Simple but effective
You know, as soon as they said it was donald under the makeup, I couldn't unsee donald under the make up, and I couldn't unhear donald doing a falcetto
fr
This actually helps me understand writing as well as directing and shadowing. I love videos like this.
Same
Lakeith deserves an award for this
He deserves award for everything he is in..a brilliant actor!
The show would not be the masterpiece it is without Hiro Murai’s fantastic direction
Rory Carey-Stronck or Glovers fantastic writing/acting
Nah. Paperboi carries the show.
terenteren teren yeh especially this episode
Yes
It wouldn't exist period without Glover bro
Never fully understood this episode.... I felt mindfucked and on the edge of my seat the whole time
I felt that way during this video lol still no clarity on what the episode was truly about.
@@briaphilpot5964 It's just storytelling. The writers probably came up with this cool idea for a horror story and decided to try it. Unrelated to the main plot, they just used the fictional world created for Atlanta to serve as the framework for it.
you cant convince me that tedy saying "i love this song" isnt a reference to that michael jackson meme
Denisa Avram I was thinking the same thing. 😫😂clever
Which meme??
Im onboard with this theory
@UhRoachOh wow soo much help😂😂
Isn’t it based off of Michaels experiences and pains
Atlanta meets GET OUT
This is why I love this show. It so aware of it's self and it's not affraid to push the envelope with out going too far.
They also referenced the movie, when Teddy takes a picture of Darius with the flash on.
Maximiliano Guajardo this episode was the direct inspiration for the movie, not the other way around. That’s why in the opening of Get Out they play Gambinos “Redbone” as an homage to him in what they were trying to emulate
@@summerraylene Get Out came out in early 2017... this episode aired in April of 2018, I think you just made that up
funniest thing is theres another episode in season 1(?) called "juneteenth" that's a very obvious homage to get out (black man trapped in a house with suspicious white people)
This episode is what showed me the depth of Laketih Stanfield as an actor. I truly love him. Donald Glover is phenomenal. Literally chills.
Atlanta is a masterpiece 👌
Ikr it's a brilliant TV show
I'm upset that it takes a while for the seasons to come out... but i can't even be mad. Have never once said "wow wish it was better episode"
@@austinmartinez2312 season 3 was postponed because of COVID but they said it will come out during the first half of 2021
Yes. This show deserves all of the awards it has received and more. Love the actors, direction, and writing.
Darius doesnt easily get spooked. So you know this episode was something special
The way Glover holds and moves his eyes while playing Teddy is just perfect
Definitely one of my favorite bits of television. Just so unsettling.
Scariest episode of TV this year this stuck with me for awhile
*me too*
John Eihl listened to the Stevie Wonder song a bunch too
Hiro is a huge inspiration to me as an aspiring filmmaker , he has amazing style. It’s also cool how he started in music videos, that aspect of his career reminds me of Spike Jonze.
Vinny H. That’s cool, I never knew that! Another film maker that I find very inspiring. Thanks :)
Same with Ridley Scott, who didn't make his first feature till he was about 40
David Fincher also started with music videos before he got to helm Aliens3
This dude sounds like a great director, gave a lot of insight & creative speaking into the shooting & editing process of this episode. I definitely need to rewatch Atlanta before season 3 drops. I hope this man has a long & great career.
I really hate that I have to watch this show alone. A few of the episodes this season gave me night terrors including this one. Genius how hard this show hits reality in a fictional trippy way. Kudos to the cast and crew.
Night terrors? Like, you see him???
This episode was so messed up
Zbbbudi no I love it
I watched this episode in the middle of the night and it had me paranoid for the next month
My favorite episode! they should make more episodes similar to "Teddy Perkins", I love how mysterious it is.
@SJ Brooks never heard a white person say this before.
Without question, one of the most chilling episodes in the history of American television. Cheers.
as a non creative its always so shocking and mesmerizing how much craftsmanship and thought goes into making media like this
This episode was so anxiety inducing and scary, that I had to stop it a few times. It was the darkest and most sinister episode of the entire series. It really gave me chills. I do want to know if Darius ever got the piano, or if he could actually play the piano at all!?!
Glover & Murai are an absolute dream team. They bring out each other's genius.
Thank you Hiro. As an up-and-coming director I will use the things that you've said in my upcoming pieces.
Best episode of Atlanta hands down. Love the whole series, but this episode put it over the top for me. Fantastic job by the whole team behind it.
What an AMAZING director. Wow!
Emma G ikr he did the conjuring as well (: crazy
It's a birthday present for me and it's not even my birthday y'all
aaayyye Dom you lit
dommmmm
A Masterpiece of episode in an already jewel on Tv.
Great episode, Atlanta was what the 2010s needed
Most definitely.
One of the weirdest episodes but thoroughly enjoyable. Hands down possibly Darius' best episode. I really hope we get another Darius centred episode in series 3 and 4.
The last episode season 4. 😢😊😂
Teddy: knuckles deep eating ostrich egg, playing his personal reminder audio messages
"wash your hands... *immediately* 😲
😂🤣
For me it was summer, I had the apartment dark and cold. I had to get out after for a car ride and get some sun light and processes what I had just watched. I was kind of in a shock like state, and I actually love horror movies but this episode was something else.
I wish there were more breakdowns for the rest of Atlanta episodes.
*What an incredibly talented person he is.*
GIVE EVERYONE IN THIS EPISODE THEIR EMMY RIGHT NOW 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 this was the best thing that happened in 2018!!!!!
Oh... i'll moV E *I T* (?)
I loved this episode. This is an iconic episode. Genius stuff right here.
Atlanta is addictive even though i didn't understand that episode i couldnt stop watching
WEIRD: I just got finish binge watching ATLANTA yday and this pop up on my recommendation 👀?
Same! A yr later
Teddy generates so much interest, why not make a movie and fill in the story for us? We obviously want that.
@t b details. Tea. Horror movie music?
The whole second season felt like a bizarre dream, really enjoyed it.
The jacket reminded me of Jack Nicholson's The Shinning character.
Do you think they will get an Emmy for this episode?
Jon Jerrell Evans I hope so.
They got nominated so I'm happy enough
They've already got Emmy's & Golden Globes for the 1st season
Yes
This is definitely Emmy worthy!!👌🏾
I wonder how Michael Jackson's kids felt watching this episode
Monk Bop you see how Paris turned out...
It's a fictional story. How should they feel about it?
It's obviously an exaggerated version of Michael Jackson, which is why I ask.
Huh? Whatever do you mean?
It's an extreme exaggeration of the "Michael Jackson" the media & so-called psychoanalysts portrayed him to be. He's not that guy to them.
one of the most important and unique episodes of a comedy show period
The anxiety I felt this whole episode, I Fr didn’t know what was gonna happen to Darius 😭 genius all the way through
This episode was crazy
This is when Atlanta turns into Legion
I would love to see an entire breakdown of this episode by Hiro!
This was my Favorite Episode so far!!!
One Of My Favorite & Definitely Most Memorable Episodes!
This episode was crazy! Sit still and watch the jaw dropping ending
When I first saw it I actually guessed it was Earn just in disguise playing a prank on Darius. I just thought the features matched Donalds
hiro murai is one of the best directors today
not the episode to watch alone in the dark at 1 in the morning
Fav episode in the season next to the barbershop episode.
I was on high alert whenever teddy was on screen.
this dude is a genius... Atlanta is so good
Fax
Fact.
Not one mention of MJ? We all know this is heavily inspired by Michael’s story and he deserves credit
This was my fav episode of all of the seasons/episodes!
Asian Excellence
+ black excellence = quality contenent but underrated asf
Daniel Casttillo no
khayle05 Human excellence
Soul too sensitive
They couldve used any director simple (copy the shining) ...not anyone couldve made teddy realistic...
Best episode of all time
great episode, love the breakdown
too much brilliance in the idea, cinematography, performance and direction
hands down best
I would love to watch a feature film directed by Hiro
When i first saw the episode, i had to check twice to see if I was watching Atlanta 😅
This Was The Scariest Episode Ever Idc
My favorite episode on a great season.
I still don’t understand how so many people had no idea it was Donald Glover playing Teddy. The nuances in his voice gave it away almost immediately.
Thank you Murai-San for this masterpiece!!!!!!
This episode was definetly one of my favorites, full on horror/thriller
I could watch Hiro break down all the episodes of Atlanta.
This is the thing of nightmares! Super well done.
i knew it was donald off jump lol
Andrew Toscano Yeah, I figured it out almost right away. I'm not sure what it was, but it was very subtle. The way Donald's face looks when he smiles, or his dentition. That's what gave it away for me.
Yep, his voice and eyes are what gave it away
He sounds like his old old video black peter pan
By far my favorite episode
Excellent episode. One of the scariest films I ever saw - definitely the scariest TV show episode .
This man is a genius of our generation and most people don’t even know it
They really need to bring hiro murai back for some more interviews.
I always knew Donald was playing Teddy. There was so many giveaways lol
wataloopus when I first saw it I found out it was him by his mouth. Dont get me wrong it took me time
That fat head was a dead giveaway
His voice was the give away for me
I never had a clue. I was so confused and scared the entire episode.
wataloopus the voice being the most obvious give away
GIVE THIS GUY A MOVIE
Got very big “Get Out” similarities
I think this might be my favorite episode in TV history.
One of the Creepiest episodes I've seen on tv.
You clearly haven't seen Twin Peaks or the Twilight Zone
@@olivermutalemumba2913 your point? He clearly said “one of the creepiest episodes” that HE’S seen. Not you, so your comment was irrelevant😄😌
I first noticed those kinds of 3/4 in the corner with the negative space behind shots in "Value" when Van and her friend were at the fancy restaurant, and the first thing it reminded me of was Mr. Robot, because they utilize those shots to such an extreme in some scenes on that show, especially during one-to-one dialogues. Like, I remember there was at least one shot where a character was all alone in the extreme corner in 3/4 perspective, and they had ALL this space behind. And because they had done those types of shots before, this one felt like it represented a build-up of them.
i think this was the 1st or 2nd ep I'd ever watched of Atlanta and it FREAKED ME TF OUT. I could barely get myself to watch more of ATL bc I was so scared lmaooo, this sht gave me nightmares, so props to Hiro and donald for making something so unique/harrowing that really GETS to the audience
Teddy the scariest dude I’ve ever seen in my 13 years on this planet
This was one of the finest episodes of the series, episode 6 season 2. Brilliant and haunting!
Everything about this show is deserving of some award. Every actor, the soundtrack, the story line, and most importantly the random unexplainably hilarious scenes like the kid w white face or the alligator man. “Them children ain’t lying I’m the alligator man” I cried laughing at that😂
This was AN AMAZING episode. Love him
I remember watching this episode thinking this ish is so bizzare. Very strong MJ vibes 😩😂
probably my favorite episode
So glad they got Hiro in for a video, love this series and love Atlanta
Break down all atlanta episodes please
I really love how he recognises that authenticity is often the better option than emmulation. He needed a bit shot on Super8 so he shot it on Super8. He didn't overcomplicate things, he didn't burden a VFX artist to go and recreate the look of Super8 projected onto a wall, he did none of that. At all. But what he did do was make things a lot easier and a lot more authentic.
you don't realise just how much thought and creative genius is put into the cinematography of good shows, you just feel the effect. Hiro is the unsung hero (lol) of so much of Atlanta's impact
