Some quick changes to the blog...
But a couple of the names on the show stand out and you can tell they have deeper meaning.
So I used to like doing Friends Friday every Friday- and I still like doing that but... I wanted to do other shows too and I think I'm going to move my Weekly Wrap up to Friday and I'll still do TV reviews on Saturday... but I might not post on Sunday. I might still... but that's the blog I always miss anyway. And with that... here's the post.
So... The Names on Atlanta
So yeah. My boyfriend and I started watching Atlanta... kind of the most brilliant show on television... like... they have an episode that's basically a horror episode with none of the main characters... and it's hilarious and actually really really deep... I'll come back to this episode sometime soon on this but... it's a really great show.
But a couple of the names on the show stand out and you can tell they have deeper meaning.
Earnest "Earn" Marks- Okay so Donald Glover's character is Earn. So the show centers around Earnest being kinda broke. Kind of down on his luck in his marriage- which is now kind of an open marriage... and he finds out that his cousin Alfred is Paper Boi- who's an up and coming rapper... so Earnest figures he could get a job from his cousin and a lot of the episodes in the first season center around him trying to earn money. Plus- he's an Earnest guy on the show. His name makes a lot of sense.
Vanessa/ Van- So Zazie Beetz plays his wife Vanessa who he refers to as Van. Earn and Van's relationship is kind of on the rocks... to say the least. One of Van's comments is that Earn always treat's her like an accessory. Like because Earn has a family- he has her... just like why people drive Van's.
So yeah! That's everything... I'm sure there's more... there's a lot to this show and... yeah!
Bye!
