Atlanta: It Was All a Dream (2022)
An episode with a beautiful dreamy vibe and a great ending to a masterpiece of a show
Darius is one of my all time favorite characters. I have always been envious to his way of approaching life. He is curious like a child and has a philosopher's soul. He is living on his wavelength with integrity without being a dick!
Like many Atlanta episodes it makes me think a lot. Not necessarily understanding everything or getting answers. It makes me feel something, laugh, be uncomfortable and ask more questions. And that's for me what great art is supposed to be.
But what I love the most is the vibe of the episode. Darius adventures reminds me of when I was a teenager with no adult responsibilities, just roaming the streets meeting people and having adventures. Though my adventures were nothing like the one darius is having.
The details of the episode makes it feel real but not real at the same time, just like a dream. For example the way Darius is just walking calmly to the tank place has a feel to it that the creators really nailed.
I can also see that the episode took inspiration from inception at one point especially and that was really cool.
I just love it!
