I think Darius is one of the best and smartly written characters in TV history. I think Atlanta is a show about "getting it". "Getting it" means something different to many people, but to me it means a level of understanding that you previously did not have in regards to yourself, and the world around you. People write Darius off as "eccentric" or "weird", but I think Darius is the epitome of "getting it". He gets it in a way that he understands that by him "getting it", it does not mean his life will be any better or worse, it simply allows him to see the world and those around him differently, and he lives his life accordingly.

Free Play Mode I don't get what you're saying.

Malik

6y↑23

There's already a word for "getting it" it's called perspective.

Free Play Mode

6y↑48

That I disagree with. Having perspective, and "getting it" are two different things. Perspective is having an understanding as it relates to things that are not in relation to you and your ecosystem. "Getting it" means that you have understanding in regards to yourself and the things that are in your ecosystem.

Huge Kudos to Donald Glover for creating Darius and kudos to Lakeith Stanfield for bringing him to life. No one else could play this role.

after watching Lekeith's interviews for the past few years i honestly think he is just being himself cause he is JUST LIKE DARIUS in real life i believe Donald allowed him to be free on the show.

a million ppl could play that role. in fact, if ur darius, ur thinking, anybody in this world can play this role. mostly true

Whether or not he's like this in real life, watch him in Get Out. Dude can definitely act.

Pataganja

4y↑23

In this show that may be the case but everything else I’ve seen him in is pure talented acting. How can you say Get Out Lakeith is just playing himself? I know your comment a year old but his character in this show and in Uncut Gems are similar but still completely noticeably different characters thanks to his acting skill. Don’t demean dude’s talent.

I love how he says definitive things in a very neutral way. He sees and understands reality in a way others don't, and he just simply goes with the flow...never going against the grain. And he communicates in a way that no one could really ever take personally. He's never pretentious or filled with any ill will either.

Honestly, I would love to see his backstory. He's way too brilliantly written.

Pataganja

Lakeith Stanfield has already cemented himself as one of the best!

Wait... Darius saying this isn't real was implicating the afro-surrealist nature that becomes fully fleshed out as the show progressed. Atlanta has so many fantasy elements and full-blown surrealism that he was probably telling the absolute truth in that scene.

I love his character even more when I think about the fact that Lakeith is the only one can pull it off on screen.
