As far as epic journeys put to film go, Atlanta S02E05 - Barbershop, is undoubtedly one of the finest ever written, and possibly the best television episode about a haircut ever produced. Recurring characters can be difficult to flesh out, as they fade in and out of focus on a series. However, we are treated to a tour de force of a performance by a man simply known as Bibby.
Paper Boi's fatal mistake was getting out of the barber chair, but once he did, Bibby pounces on his prey. What ensues next is a one-man wrecking crew of misdirection and manipulation as Bibby strings Paper Boi along, as Paper Boi is desperate to get his drip sorted out before a big photoshoot. Leftover food, lumber, a truant kid and a few pissed off women are only a few of the dangers and surprises in store for The Fellowship of the Haircut.
Will Bibby keep his eye on the road? Will Paper Boi get his drip straightened out? One may never know unless they have the courage to join The Fellowship of the Haircut on their journey. Stay safe traveler.
Keep your eyes on the road, Bibby, c'mon now!
