Well done.

I got some issues but they are small

The black woman going at Marshall was a little stereotypical

I think it would have been much funnier and resonated more if she had been shown to be more cold reasonable calculated.

I didn't like how she busted in the house was loud etc... I UNDERSTAND why they chose that route

But didn't like it.

Just to be clear I'm not trashing the episode

But that whole sequence only lead to somehow sympathizing with the white man.

This loud black woman is harassing him embarrassing him

But the black men are focused as f*ck still going to work collecting checks telling the white man "how to deal with the black woman"

I would have loved the same actress flipping expectations...

Have her thanking the server at the door...

Have her asking if she could please come in...

What is the square footage? How is the traffic?

Her having a screen and power point presentation in her trunk with Bluetooth speakers and handouts outside his job.

Detailed specific logical

Keep the car chase

but let it be her family doing home inspection measuring the property taking pictures

even his neighbors welcoming her.

Like I said it's minor but in MY EYES it took away from the episode

Which overall was very well done

Earn mouthing the words perfectly was such a layered choice...

Is that boredom?

Jealousy?

Manager focused on making sure the show goes like clockwork?

Apparently this whole season is loosely based on his earlier years as Childish Gambino......

I take it as a focused manager

Earn couldn't even engage in small talk with Paper Boi, he was getting on a mfkrs ass about the minute details

That is why I love this show

The complexity of the characters

When we seen them grow so much

From living in a storage unit to traveling across Europe with unlimited funds.

Earn matured got stronger more confident

but is he happy?

Anybody catch the part where Earn constantly had to "identify" himself with security;

"It's me again"

"You're gonna be seeing a lot of me tonight"

But "Wiley" walked around freely?

There's so many little things that just.......mayne, the little things

Yup exactly

But the manager telling everyone that his so called nephew gets to roam free ain't help

It was a great snapshot on how white folk use nepotism... in even the most diluted form to benefit each other.

But if they see more than 2 black folk even talking at lunch they freak the f*ck out.

i have to totally agree,,he is very interesting its like he floats this world with clarity..who brings the blueprints of a building to a concert...!!!!...
jim from taxi aint got shit on him...

That brother is so COMMITTED. And seeing his other great work, to me Darius is the most closest to the real him. He aspires to be Darius in reality to me. Just my opinion.

he crafted a fully developed non traditional 3 Dimensional character like we have ever seen as a black actor over these what 3/4 seasons on TV.

This surpassed the usual sitcom "weird guy" this ain't Kramer etc

This is a complex smart odd conflicted black man that just wants to be allowed to live

And how the world constantly tries to restrain him define him restrict him.

I really hope HE is the one who discovers Socks is a snake.

And that always knew from jump

That would be brilliant.

Mfkr didn't even know if that really was his nephew, yet he was still able to roam freely, get on stage and look through the phone with Socks

"He's only 19!" Mfkr said that like 10 times

"I'm 32!"..

"What?! You are?!, No you can't be!"
