In one episode, based on a true story, a white couple ignore their adopted black children until tragic ends. In another case, a landmark lawsuit allowed black Americans to sue the white descendants of slave owners for reparations. But these important topics are always treated with humor – take, for example, Chet Hanks’ cameo as a white man who speaks a Patwa language because he was raised by a Trinidadian nanny, in a perfect artistic parody of life.
Despite the laser’s focus on America’s fractured foundations, Betz wasn’t surprised Atlanta He found a cult following abroad, including in Australia.

“I suppose in the end, Essence [the show] It’s the experience of the minority in the world of the majority, and every country really has some kind of story about that,” “in particular, if you think about the United Kingdom or Australia or Canada, countries that … they all have a similar history with colonialism.”
Amidst the independent episodes, the third season of Atlanta Periodically dip into the story of Earn and Alfred. The epilogue saw Betz take center stage: beating a bloody man with an old baguette and hosting a cannibal dinner in Paris, before breaking down and admitting she felt trapped with her life in the States. It was the culmination of a season in which Van was absent in Europe after she relinquished her responsibility as a mother.
It’s an episode that Betz says “feels very special to the show,” and navigates easily between silly stories and human influences. The annoyance of being trapped by the motherhood that cemented Fan’s third season arc is something Beetz takes seriously. You see that the episode is spiritually similar to the episode of Elena Ferrante the missing daughterbook and film adaptation of a mother who (temporarily) abandons her children.
“If you struggle with being a parent, you’re not a bad person, you’re just a person and everyone does their best,” Betz says.attributed to him:Matthias Klammer / FX
“I felt so much for Van,” she says. “I think we paint fatherhood as — well, you made that commitment and now you have to stick to it, which of course is true to some extent. Your kids didn’t ask to be here, so what do you have to do? But in the end, we’re all human first.
“If you struggle with being a dad, you’re not a bad person, you’re just a person and everyone does their best.”
Beetz can’t reveal where Van ended up at the end of the series, but this season continues to explore the tension between her role as a parent and her role as an individual. And you think the book is not completely closed Atlanta.
“What I like about the show is that it feels so funky. I could see us revisit it in the future and do some kind of special episode, so maybe I didn’t quite say goodbye. Now I feel like, well, she belongs in the world now. It’s not ours anymore. I just hope everyone likes it and enjoys it.”
