  • In this video essay explaining the meaning of the show "Atlanta," I’ll be going through various tv and movie examples to demonstrate how doors can be effectively used to tell a story and to figure out what these otherworldly doorways tell us about the surrealist world of “Atlanta.”
    In "Atlanta," a door is never just a door. I would describe this video as an Atlanta analysis, Atlanta breakdown, Atlanta explained, Atlanta theory, Atlanta breakdown, and writing analysis.

    To me in terms of the DeAngelo episode, Ern's journey was a take on the well known man on the mountain parable. Ern's journey to seeing him involved self actualization and instrospection, DeAngelo didn't have the answers - Ern did. Love your work and eagerly await more!

    It's like this show is written in 3D but watching it on screen jumps it to 4D. You'll watch it once to get the top layer meaning, a 2nd sometimes 3rd time to catch the 2nd layer (since the weirdness is out of the way) then, a few more times, another layer will get exposed. You'll go to YT comments or get other ppl's opinions & realize other layers that you didn’t even think of but, it'll be so obvious, you'll think "how didn’t I catch that before"? To me this show is the definition of a "rabbit hole". You'll wonder if it was written w/ all of these layers meant to be found & if so, Donald & his brother are really giving the audience credit for wanting to do this constant digging. I literally thought of this yesterday: you know how you're talking to someone, they bring something up & you're like "that's a whole 'nother conversation that we don't have time for"? I feel like there's a lot of those points in this show that end up unlocking a new meaning. Masterful writing especially for only 20 something minute episodes.

    I was not really a fan of the “it was a dream” theory but man the way you tied it together and particularly with it maybe just applying to the last season or two kind of made me a bit more of a believer. Particularly calling out some of the specific details and incorporating that into my own recognition that much of the last season has callbacks to earlier parts of the series it really kind of makes a lot more sense and seems to very much be something that was intended

    God this show is gut bursting hilarity. I almost choked a couple times with some of these turns. Especially that one episode with the serial killer and the piano. God this show is a masterpiece I'm sad to see it end after only 3 Seasons. Hopefully they decide to do another show

      the blue blood ep was a big hint when they exited the mall and the girl followed. the last ep when london was was wildin out. she knew she was dreaming thats why she did that crazy shyt lol and the said 'this is all your fault". the nepalese ep where paper boi passed by himself. thats the only explanation i believe that can account for dissrupting time in that way. the crank dat killer ep where the guy shooting at paper boi looked nothing like the killer they arrested. which must mean that he really was a guy from high school that was mad at him and htf did the gps take him to the exact spot where paper boi was??? back to the last ep where darius was in the pharmacy and spoke with the lady, it confirmed my suspicions
