I love that you can dig deep into basically any of the guest appearances in this show and it makes perfect sense why they were used. Dunno if you've watched season 4 but one of the guest appearances in the finale overthrew Katt Williams for my favorite ever. I will surely miss this show.
@@ComeWatchTV then you probably know which cameo I'm talking about. I love her because, as was pointed out by some channels, she was in some ways the original Darius in _A Different World_ and we now get to see her in, well, a different world so to speak lol
It kind of does have a similar reasoning. Liam grew up in Northern Ireland during the Troubles and Bloody Sunday. His inclusion during the Good Friday Agreement ending emphasizes just how recent all of this was, and how it’s important to fight for peace and better lives
By the looks of it, Larry David was only on Hanny Montanny bc of his kid Cazzie wanting to be on it, considering she's there in the shot with him hahaha
Honestly to me the most “Atlanta” Atlanta episode is the one that is a series of short vignettes. They just so clearly and precisely deliver the whole message of the show.
loved the new season personally, not huge on the concept episodes but the one you discussed and cancer attack are some of the best episodes the series has done no question.
I really liked this episode and I think you too, for what I could understand from your (very good) video. I wished that this season had more clairvoyant episodes like this. I understand the point of the show, and going against it is pointless; but between episodes that don't seem to mean much (Cancer Attack) or the already very discussed "side-line episodes", the character development hasn't got much exploration in S3. Again, it's not the perfect show if you want that; but even past episodes like FUBU or Teddy Perkins told us something about the characters. Trini 2 De Bone tells us almost nothing besides the message behind the episode. Which, again, it's fine; it's just little compared to what we had in previous seasons. Besides that, really good essay about guest stars and what they should mean! Thank you
Honestly the best guest appearances was Kevin Samuels as the Robert Lee in the college tuition episode. If you don't know about Kevin Samuels look him up makes the episode a lot funnier
@@ComeWatchTV yeah that too me is what makes the guest stars in Atlanta so good is that it's not in your face you have to actually watch the episode and pick up on the joke
I’m not 100% sure but the ridiculousness of the cameo illustrates on one level just how much Van has changed. But that could be said if it is any a list celebrity acting weird.
@@ComeWatchTV I was wondering why they have chosen Skarsgård for that particular scene,like you said every guest has a reason to be there,like Neeson for tha statement about black people and Chet Hanks for the accent and the problems with his parents.Thank you,nice video.
A whole video on Atlanta and not even a mention of future GOAT Trae Young. With the addition of all star Dejuonte Murray the Hawks are now the favorites in the East. #truetoatlanta #hawksculture #gayfortrae
@@ComeWatchTV the hawks are great example of the themes portrayed in this video. Trae Young has worked hard to find his identity in his first few seasons, very similar to the themes explored in the episode and the series.Now that he has become a certified super star and top 3 point guard in the league, he needs to take the next step. While the “guest star” metaphor does not work perfectly adding Murray can help Trae take his game up to heights not before seen in the NBA. Also the show is called Atlanta and the Hawks play in Atlanta which is the same city, so the connection should be clear. #hawksforlife #iloveyoutraeyoung
I really liked this cameo but overall the whole season I found disappointing. In fact the massive irony of the season for me was that while the show is trying to shine a light on people's prejudices and stereotypes, it basically does this with every ethnicity that isn't American. The Triny episode for instance has so many cringy accents, the one with the Nigerian restaurant is the same. The European characters are really two dimensional, incould go on and on..
@@ComeWatchTV both, but mainly just is the worst of the 4 seasons. Most uninteresting, little to no character development, was overall boring. Season 4 got back to the what makes the show great
The title of this video is garbage. I clicked it thinking I was going to see an interesting bts story about how they got this huge actor to do this interesting and kinda shocking cameo. Instead I got an analysis. I enjoyed the video, sure, but it’s not what I wanted at all

Randy appreciates the FX dramedy “Atlanta” and its nuanced look into pop culture and the black experience.
Thank you for your patronage Randy
Thanks Randy

The final season was near-perfect. One of the best shows period.

Seems like Liam was on a guest star kick around this time. His appeareance in derry girls is even more random (and super funny).
It kind of does have a similar reasoning. Liam grew up in Northern Ireland during the Troubles and Bloody Sunday. His inclusion during the Good Friday Agreement ending emphasizes just how recent all of this was, and how it’s important to fight for peace and better lives
Also caught that Al saw himself passed out in the beginning of the episode and ended up in that same spot
how could you not catch that? it was blatant
That whole season was wild.
I love how the dream sequence could’ve very well been canonically real life because of how Atlanta is
This was such a good essay!! Everything flowed and was introduced so well.
I hadn't really heard of Atlanta before but Im about to start it now^_^
Thank you! And yes definitely check it out!
The week that episode came out was wild because he showed up in an episode of Derry girls aswell
I didn’t realize that was actually Chet hanks lol
New sub. And now I finally gotta get into Atlanta.
instant subscription for recognizing the greateness of james franco and bodypillow's romance

Yea. I loved the concept episodes but yea I love the normal episodes more, only having 6 of them was tough.
@@ComeWatchTV rich wigga, poor wigga is like top 5 episodes of the whole show for me. Ending had me crying laughing
Full scene on my channel
along with some excellent
comments. This was well done!
That was really insightful when you said that cameos mean something. Very wise
Thanks
Let me know your thoughts on the latest season, and your favorite guest star appearance down below

Watching season 4 now, I agree. Season 3 did relatively less in service of our characters.
Honestly the best guest appearances was Kevin Samuels as the Robert Lee in the college tuition episode. If you don't know about Kevin Samuels look him up makes the episode a lot funnier
Yes. I didn’t talk about it just I didn’t really have knowledge about who he was before unlike Chet and Liam.
@@ComeWatchTV yeah that too me is what makes the guest stars in Atlanta so good is that it's not in your face you have to actually watch the episode and pick up on the joke
Its crazy that as soon as i saw the trailer that episode, i googled him to make sure it was him and it was the same day as his passing. RIP
R.i.p
I gotta go watch this show
I loved this! Thanks for making it 👍🏽
whats's the thematic reason for Alexander Skarsgård inclusion? Thanks
I’m not 100% sure but the ridiculousness of the cameo illustrates on one level just how much Van has changed. But that could be said if it is any a list celebrity acting weird.

Great work man
Great video, please keep uploading 🫡
Will do, thank you
I was really confused about this appearance of Liam Neeson
Well now you know
Who was van with in the hotel that night?
Ha! He was wearing a Goofy hat! Good video essay Sir, subbed and liked!
Preciate it
Best guest appearance is definitely Robert Pattinson on Randy Newman’s deep inside Hollywood
He was literally the reason I got into the show
How tf I missed it was Liam Neeson lol
the actress*
Did I say actor? Im pretty sure actor is a gender neutral/inclusive noun
Everyone appreciates the black experience. Except us.
What would be considered the "black" experience?
Whos Snooky?

I don’t see how that relates to the themes of my video…

Idk show seems like the it’s trying to hard to be smart
I think that’s perfectly acceptable if you are smart
@@ComeWatchTV I’m not
Rqp is crap, love Liam Neeson.
Ppppppooppppphcycis und wir müssen Tv b
Season 3 Atlanta was trash
Like you think it’s bad or just worse than other seasons?

Sorry bout dat. Glad u still enjoyed
This was lowkey the dumbest episode of television I’ve ever experienced. Season 3 was just terrible
To each their own 🤝
garbage opinion
So was this entire episode a dream now that we’ve seen the series finale????
Who knows... I want to believe that most of it is real but parts of Al's trip are hallucinations.
Non of it was a dream.
@@paradoxlust can’t agree with that
