I expected after the tour is found out and he was sitting with Van I thought Anthony Hamilton- Charlene would start playing. Or maybe next season for when they are on the road
The way he was bumming around all season for places to sleep and the turning down of two invites to have a place to stay make it seem like the storage unit was a behind the scenes development for him.

I think there's a lot more plot development than we think, it just wasn't as in your face as most television shows do. Earn finally has a "home" that he earned, Paperboi is going on tour, Van and Earn have seemingly patched things up. There's more but those are just the few I noticed.
I can't wait for Netflix to put this show up so I can marathon it and try and catch anything I missed. Waiting week to week kills me :

That storage unit part I relate to soooooo much.
Right. The plot development takes place in the background. People will only catch the plot if they pay attention to the more subtle stuff that explains stuff. They aren't always explicitly showing how Earn managing/promoting/working for Al but its obviously there.

Seriously. I'm in my house with my family and the mortgage half paid off and I'm romancing a night in a storage locker.

Binge watched the entire season, my wife stopped watching a few episodes in, she didn't like any of the characters (the guys basically), I wonder how it does with the female audience.
I enjoyed it all, to me it felt like a black Seinfeld or Curb with the pathos cranked to near max, especially with how flawed and self destructive some of the characters are. Maybe a bit directionless at times, like the episode with the fake commercials was funny but way too much time spent on the commercials. The ending was fantastic.
All in all though great stuff and can't wait for season 2, however long it takes. Hope the people behind it can maybe go do some other stuff while they wait to write/film it.

He knows what's up/
It got overshadowed by Atlanta, but I've heard really good things about it. Cornballer put up a OT for it, btw.
Me and the mrs have been watching Better things. It's pretty solid. It's a different pace entirely but it's not a bad show
I wasn't too hot on Better Things earlier from episode 1-3 but I'm glad I stuck to it since it's improved a lot since then.
I don't think I've posted at all in this thread, but this is an excellent show and that was a great finale (despite not having enough Van) and I'm disappointed it's done so soon. Earn is probably my least favorite of the main four, but he definitely picked up for me these last few eps.
Can't wait til season 2. Now what's this about 2018?!

This show was so good. Can't believe it's over already, and we aren't getting another season till 2018???
Blame Han Solo.
I would gif it for you but I run the risk of not gifing at the right exact moment that you're referring to.

- The Watch podcast with Chris Ryan and Andy Greenwald:
It's a little uneven at the start, but I think it gets better. It's very specific, which is great if you're into it, but if you aren't...
not much about the second season for anyone who's wondering. he mentions that they're already working on scripts right now at Donald's house and that he expects they'll have the scripts done before he goes off to work as Lando.

What?! How come? Damn. Absolutely loved, loved, loved season one, but that news seriously sucks.
They are still doing writing now but I believe its that Donald Glover won't be available for filming until after his role as Lando is done filming. There is probably only like one or two episodes in the next season that doesn't have him actually in it.
Is there a link to this 2018 Season 2 news or is everyone just assuming because of the Han Solo? The only thing I can find on google in regards to season 2 and Han Solo are this link from the Morning Ledger which says 2017:
The next 10-episode season of Atlanta will debut on FX in 2017.
...and this link from Bustle which says there "could" be a delay.

Darius is real. LaKeith Stanfield Breakfast Club interview.
adored the season in its entirety
I love when a series has such a strong mood and setting that it really just takes you there with each ep
it puts stuff like that forward rather than any plot importance or continuity so it's definetly not for everyone, but I appreciated it fully. feels like music, actually

is it weird that I find bits of myself in Earn and Darius?
Not a good sign I imagine.

Such a pitch perfect ending.
mh, those pride responses are weird
he did it entirely for Van, he'd rather sleep in a shitty place on his terms than be a burden to her. that's the season's "arc", even tho plot really is secondary background
I don't see why

well darius is fucking weird, although it is a charming weird...
How would he burden Van? He can only stay with her of he can afford it. He is only around Van when he can actually contribute whether or be monetarily or as a father for Lottie. His arc to me was pulling himself up from rock bottom and improving his life with the background plot complementing that.
On his own terms he probably never had to stay at Van's since he could probably crash with Al.
yep. staying at Van's while contributing financially would actually help her with their daughter, especially now that they're on better terms and she truly wants him to stick around. and like you said, he could crash at Al's too.
he ends the season looking at a money bill in a storage unit, it doesn't get clearer than that. it has everything to do with personal pride and dignity, at least as far as how Earn perceives it. it's also the reason why he doesn't disclose to anyone where he's staying.
