Atlanta: North of the Border (2018)
Season 2, Episode 9
9/10
one of Atlanta's best episodes
4 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
After finishing the series, I'm going back and watching the very best of Atlanta, and this one definitely ranks up there in the top 5. It combines all of Atlanta's strengths: ensemble cast, road trip from hell, surreality, emotional wallop.

Earn think he has a great opportunity for Paper Boi, which involves basically pimping him out to a silly college girl in a verrrry uncomfortable scene. The girl then feels like she owns Paper Boi, resulting in her acting out at a party, in a situation compounded by an idiot hanger-on named Tracy.

Everything goes south from there, in a rather literal sense, as the guys end up in a Confederate-themed frat house during a very uncomfortable naked pledge initiation ceremony.

No wonder Paper Boi decides the time is right to get rid of Earn and his alleged management abilities.
