Season 2 Review: In the second season of the Emmy-winning comedy, he [Donald Glover] breaks even more rules, again with dazzling and deserved confidence. ... The performances are superb at every level, and the direction, mostly by Hiro Murai, is equal to the levels of excellence in the acting and the scripts by Glover, his brother Stephen and others.

Season 3 Review: The Donald Glover-created series, returning for Season 3, remains as ethereal and shocking and fascinating as ever; having screened the first two installments, it’s a thrill to know that eight more are coming to engage and confound us. Read full review

Season 4 Review: I loved the first episode and found many things to mull over and enjoy in the next two, and I liked how they play as an extension of where we left off in the third season. ... It’s still not a world in which they’re comfortable or consistently welcomed. That pervasive unease, equal parts hilarious and nightmarish, may be Atlanta‘s ultimate commentary on storytelling and on contemporary America. I intend to relish this closing run of eight episodes, whatever they happen to be. Read full review

Season 3 Review: Threading in these many varied parts and themes into what is, once again, one of TV’s most intriguing pieces of performance art. But it’s also saying something in an artful way; this is not TV vegetables, there aren’t lessons to be learned exactly. There are thoughtful impressions, strange occurrences, exceptional happenstance. In many ways, Atlanta is creating its own folklore. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The result is a series that is shrewd, emotional, and impolite, with a style that veers toward pretentiousness but never crosses over. Atlanta has quiet craftiness and the power of precision. Read full review

Season 4 Review: Season 4 has positioned itself to maintain that sense of possibility while steadying its swing along a particular path. What’s next is anyone’s guess, but you better believe “Atlanta” will put on a show. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It benefits from the sort of deadpan, off-the-wall humor that powered 30 Rock. Read full review

Atlanta, una serie que en términos de drama funciona de maravilla, posee situaciones bastante realistas que no exageran en su complejidad pero si se sienten bastante fuertes emocionalmente.

Cada capítulo juega dentro de su propio universo al punto de que a cada uno de estos se le podría dar una clasificación distinta, eso sí, todos marcados por fuertes mensajes sociales y por la tragicomedia. (más tragedia que comedia en realidad)
Personalmente me sentí abrumado por muchas situaciones que le sucedían a los personajes, ya que es una serie muy inmersiva en cuanto a las situaciones que acontecen y la dirección de fotografía. Me hubiera gustado ver más de la serie ya que tiene un final abierto.… Expand

It could be one of the best shows of the decade! Atlanta is mixed with surreal acting, developed humor, and great vibes. Atlanta's debut season has shown great promise on what Donald Glover and his team could do and they topped it with the following season. I can only hope that the latter two seasons will be more amazing than ever.… Expand

The show's experimental humor creates a hilarious base, and the serious issues in the show combined with the tasteful soundtrack collaborate to make an excellent show. Atlanta takes place in it's namesake, which is also Donald's hometown. Earnest needs to make money to support his homeless self, his ex-girlfriend Vanessa, and his daughter Lottie. Paper Boi is on his "grind" and wants to make it big as a rapper. Darius, his roommate and friend, just lives life and takes everything in. All in all, the trio combines for some funny moments and a meaningful show.… Expand

Insightful, hilarious, angry, mellow, thoughtful; any number of words could be used to describe this show and still barely cover the full gamut of what it has to offer. We need Season 3.

A surreal trip into a Twin Peaks-esquse world that gives an audience a cynical mirror to reflect our lives and show that maybe things aren't as they seem.
