Liam Neeson visits “Atlanta” to poke fun at his racism controversy—are these the sort of cameos we have to settle for?
—the episode is addressing or at least dredging up the show’s previous comedic endeavors regarding transness that were both praised and scrutinized in previous seasons. Specifically, in Season 1’s critically acclaimed episode “B.A.N,” Paper Boi is accused of being transphobic by a white feminist on a talk show because of an unsavory lyric about Caitlyn Jenner in one of his songs.
Overall, the conceit of the episode falls flat because, as much as Lorraine’s presence consumes the episode, Glover doesn’t make her particularly funny or memorable in the way most side characters are on this series—just mocking. In one scene, she calls a portly white woman posing in an exhibit “white Lizzo,” and then goes on to say that
already is the white Lizzo. It’s a rich joke coming from a musician who mostly courts white youth and didn’t receive any play on hip-hop radio until very recently, but I digress.It’s a rich joke coming from a musician who mostly courts white youth and didn’t receive any play on hip-hop radio until very recently, but I digress.
Similarly, Lorraine primarily functions as a wake-up call for Al that he should probably be investing his Apple Music checks in the stock market, NFTs or whatever capitalist venture. “The thing about rappers is that y’all don’t have any clue where your money is or where it’s going,” she chides. She also asks him who owns his master recordings, which Al has never heard of nor does he know who owns them.
