It’s much more real, honest and thought provoking than any program I’ve seen this year. Unique in every respect, Atlanta is a hands down one of this fall’s best new series. Read full review

Danny Glover's Atlanta is steeped in an urban hard-knocks authenticity. [5-18 Sep 2016, p.22]

What makes Atlanta special is the way it adds texture and flavor to a core you already know, and the reason the show is so compulsively watchable is that it perfectly executes that core. Read full review

Glover has created a show that is difficult to pigeonhole and supremely addictive. Read full review

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

Atlanta is a near perfect show.

The only thing that this show is missing is an actor who is also actually in the rap game in real life. Donald Glover's cool and all, but I think this show would reach perfection if Childish Gambino played the main character.

An excellent show that caters towards fans of hip-hop. Very creative episodes and the comedy is clever. One of the most exciting shows out right now.

You know it's a good show when you've just seen the first 10 min of the first episode, and can't wait to see where the rest of show will take you. Finally an amazing down-to-earth funny show.

It's first few episodes can feel aimless and dense but once past the episode 3 mark ,if you kept going you strike gold. Unveiling an intelligent moody show that knows how to handle it's characters alongside it's themes so as to deliver rich tongue and cheek stories that embrace sexuality, race,gender and class. It doesn't take time to realise that what Gambino is doing here is necessary, funny and streamlined.… Expand

Awesome show. Not only is it hilarious but it feels so authentic. I don't even really like rap but I still really enjoy this show. Can't wait for more!

If Atlanta had kept going with the same speed of its first three episodes, it'd be perfect. I feel like it lost a little steam as it went along and decided not to be an ordinary tv show.

It's odd to see something that's so humble. I'm sure if I told you this was the story of a down-on-his-luck father and his family, you'd picture something like Everybody Loves Raymond. Atlanta takes the scenes that you don't see in other shows, tells you they're normal, and still manages to be hilarious. In anything else, I'd call this gritty. It's not. It's just realistic. Hell, it's realistic even when it's surreal.… Expand

Donald Glover is one of the worst actors I have ever seen. She simplycan not act. His horrible acting absolute ruins what could have been a great show.
