Atlanta

"Atlanta" finds itself at a strange middle ground between sketch comedy, magical realism, and a pretty depressing drama. Despite its lack of a true identity, the show finds its stride thanks to its constant innovation and ability to feel warm and jarring at the same time.

this is a show so good at so many things other shows try to do and fail, often miserably. it's an absolute gem. and it says it on the can tho. EDIT: upping this to a 90 for season 2. Teddy Perkins is an all-time great episode of TV.

I signed on to watch a comedy series and ended up depressed after every episode. Gave up half way through the first season.

Lol is donquixotic racist?

One of the best series' in the 21st century "Peak TV" explosion. This show tackles so many seemingly disparate ideas and collects them into a meaningful whole. It also manages to be hilarious on the regular. This is up with Barry for me as one of the truly sensational TV shows that will live in people's minds for a long time and while Barry has more laser focused themes, this manages to have its cake and eat it too, covering life, the universe and everything from a localised perspective.

Quirky, and at times nerve-wracking, Atlanta is one of the most original television experiences I've had since Twin Peaks.

It has it's own thing going on, and it's pretty good. Almost on par with 'Master of None', I'd say. (1 season)

Beats the heck outta me what the plot is very disappointed

Ruined a really funny show with recurring transphobia.

I have the biggest soft spot for the work of Donald Glover, but by all means this is one that can appeal to all. Atlanta is well-written, funny and introspective, as well as well-produced, well-acted, and well-shot, with a mood and soundtrack to match. I'm only not giving it higher, becuase it most certainly has room to grow in all these fields, but for right now it is certainly top shelf.
