Atlanta: Helen (2018)
Episode 4, Season 2
Fastnacht is not Oktoberfest and this Episode doesn't show either

I really like the show, but seeing this "Fastnacht" which is supposed to be carnival here getting confused with the Oktoberfest feels just so off. As a German it's normal that American shows and movies like to make us all seem like either Bavarians or Nazis but this episode is just wrong in so many ways.
F.e. I never heard of a blackfacing tradition in Germany or Bavarians having carnival in a Oktoberfest setting (Fastnacht is in February not October).
People don't like earn in this episode but I think that the viewer is supposed to feel uncomfortable (about him) all the time. So I think the episode is quite good apart from the setting.
