Rich Wigga, Poor Wigga

The series is set in Atlanta and follows Earnest "Earn" Marks, as he tries to redeem himself in the eyes of his ex-girlfriend Van, who is also the mother of their daughter Lottie; as well as his parents and his cousin Alfred, who raps under the stage name "Paper Boi"; and Darius, Alfred's eccentric right-hand man.

According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 0.225 million household viewers and gained a 0.1 ratings share among adults aged 18–49.

A boy named Aaron (Tyriq Withers) is playing video games and gets into heated arguments with his online team members, and uses racial slurs even though he himself is biracial.

At high school, a millionaire alumnus named Robert S. Lee (Kevin Samuels) appears as a guest speaker.

He states he will donate a million dollars to the school and will also pay every senior's college tuition.

Aaron calls out the panel for only handing the money to black people, stating he is light-skinned.

Aaron then decides to make a homemade flamethrower and heads to the high school, intending to burn it down.

Lee finds Felix being carried away by the ambulance and tells him that getting shot by the police is "the blackest thing", and grants him the money.

His advances well-received, Aaron then gives the camera a knowing look before the frame freezes and the credits roll.

"[7] Alan Sepinwall of Rolling Stone wrote, "If Glover wanted to go full anthology with a new project — to succeed where Jordan Peele mostly didn't with his 2019 Twilight Zone revival — he has more than earned that right.

But it is getting harder with each Season Three digression to avoid wishing that we were back in the familiar company of Al, Darius, Earn, and/or Van, regardless of how strange the individual circumstances may be.

In an age when film and television worship the idols of plot, interconnectivity, and theory, does Atlanta have to have a point beyond whatever was last on screen?

"[10] Deshawn Thomas of /Film wrote, "It just makes no sense that, four years after season 2, we've hardly seen the Black characters we've come to love.

Forgive me if I don't f*** with it anymore because it feels like a convoluted minstrel show at this point, and so the praise it is receiving for being "deep" is nauseating and laughable.

But fans, like myself, may just have to accept that this show is a run-of-the-mill anthology series about racism now and buckle in for the next season, or simply not watch it at all.
