Buckle up, buttercup, because Atlanta season 3 decided to kick things off with a wild episode titled "Three Slaps."

| What is Three Slaps Atlanta About |
A Trip Through Loquareeous's Eyes (and Earn's Mind?)
We open the episode with Earn seemingly trapped inside the mind of a young Black boy named Loquareeous. Loquareeous is a firecracker of a kid – loud, energetic, and maybe a touch too much for his teachers and his strict grandpa. Three slaps punctuate key moments in the episode, but their meaning? That, my friend, is up for debate.
Is This Real? Is This Fantasy? Who Cares, It's Hilarious!
"Three Slaps" throws everything at the wall: surreal situations, social commentary disguised as wacky adventures, and Earn looking incredibly lost in a sea of confusing metaphors. We see Loquareeous navigate the school system, a bizarre encounter with a woke fisherman (because, Atlanta), and a truly unsettling foster care situation with a hippie lesbian couple who seem more interested in kale smoothies than raising kids.
This episode is equal parts hilarious, unsettling, and thought-provoking. It's Atlanta at its finest – taking a bizarre premise and using it to explore race, class, and the foster care system, all while making you snort-laugh at some truly outrageous moments.
Tip: Reread slowly for better memory.
Hold Up, Is This About Something Deeper?
Now, beneath the absurdity, there's some serious social commentary bubbling away. The episode cleverly references the real-life Hart family tragedy, where adoptive parents murdered their six children. "Three Slaps" doesn't shy away from the harsh realities of the foster care system and the complexities of race in America.
But fear not, fellow fans! Atlanta doesn't beat you over the head with its message. It lets you laugh, then ponder, then laugh some more.
