Robbin' Season is cloaked in a heavy yet strangely exhilarating veil of dread. ... Yet there are moments of wonder within the brutally and beautifully pragmatic Robbin' Season. Read full review

Not only does it further Earn’s motivation in intriguing new ways, but it invites a broader understanding of his perspective. His problems are both his and so many others’. Brothers Donald and Stephen Glover, who penned the episodes, continue to find natural rhythms to convey the bigger picture. Read full review

A painfully funny follow-up to a debut season that seemed hard to top. ... [Robbin' Season] is loaded with the same brilliant mix of social commentary, internal dialogue and making something out of nothing. Read full review

The so-called Robbin’ Season has the characters confront stranger obstacles, and this gives the writers fresh opportunities to venture into places no other comedy on television can, or is brave enough to attempt. The tone in Atlanta flips from moment to moment without warning, and without alienating viewer. ... And there is a cartoonish craziness to these new episodes that can be mind-boggling even while incorporating honest commentary about the reality of living in today’s America. Read full review

Atlanta is art that announces itself as art, instead of, like so much TV, slinking into the gallery through the doorway marked “entertainment.” ... It is also simply elevated. Read full review

The end result is sort of like the Coen Brothers directed Get Out while listening to trap music, and it's not like anything I've ever seen. Read full review

Atlanta is still good and still roughshod, but there’s a tougher texture to this season. That’s mainly the robbin’ part. Read full review

Atlanta Season 2, like the first season, is a phenomenal show, but for subtle reasons. The most important Aspect of Atlanta is that it captures the odd weirdness of everyday life, but refracts it through a magnifying lens, and exaggerates the weirdness slightly. Weird things happen inAtlanta Season 2, like the first season, is a phenomenal show, but for subtle reasons. The most important Aspect of Atlanta is that it captures the odd weirdness of everyday life, but refracts it through a magnifying lens, and exaggerates the weirdness slightly. Weird things happen in everyday life, and when they do, you think both that it's incredibly random, but also pedestrian, because while random, it had to happen.

What does that mean? It's the feeling you periodically get when you watch Atlanta. It's the space between the normal and mundane and the funny and the nonsensical.

How does Atlanta capture this weird feeling, with which we are all familiar, and manage to consistently bottle it in fleeting moments? Atlanta succeeds as a reinforcing feedback between the stellar actors, who embody their characters, and the writers, who take the characters and actors to a new level. And the directors and the cinematographers who make the show look great and seamless.… Expand

Nearly perfect.

The first season of Atlanta had some of the best storytelling I've seen in a long time, with every character getting a chance to shine in episodes of their own or when they're all together. It was interesting, fresh and very well written. Atlanta's second season or Robbin'Nearly perfect.

The first season of Atlanta had some of the best storytelling I've seen in a long time, with every character getting a chance to shine in episodes of their own or when they're all together. It was interesting, fresh and very well written. Atlanta's second season or Robbin' Season only improves.

Once again we are given interesting and funny dialogue and cool intriguing ideas, with the best one probably being the Theodore Perkins episode. I was hooked from the first episode and absolutely loved the chemistry between these actors. And like in the first season, this time every major character gets an episode of their own once again, making everyone feel important and interesting. Although it still feels like Donald Glover's character Earn is the main character.

Up until the eighth episode I was sure that if the last three episodes are this good, this season is going to get a 10/10, and right on cue comes episode nine, which is bad. The whole episode feels like filler. Earn and the crew escape this party and stumble upon another one, and I was bored. I wasn't feeling the "humor" at all. It sucked. It did not feel like Atlanta and was just straight up skip-worthy. It's somewhat saved by a conversation between Earn and Paper Boi but just barely. There was also this character, Tracy, who sucked and I was finally hoping for him to get justice as the show seemed very self-aware about it but even that was f*cked over.

Episode 10 and 11 were a lot better fortunately. Episode 10 wasn't perfect as the whole episode focuses on childhood Earn and the acting was pretty bad, but it was definitely better. And gladly after that comes episode 11, the final episode, which was fantastic and felt like Atlanta again. It had some satisfying conversations to wrap up plots between characters and a fantastic ending. I loved it.

Overall, you definitely shouldn't miss this show. It's original, funny and constantly intriguing. Without the ninth episode this would've been a 10/10… Expand

I am not sure if I had put in a review for the first season of the show which I why I feel necessary to start off with the fact it was absolutely brilliant and I considered a 9 out of 10 and re-binged just when season 2 started off.

I would like to keep my review of Atlanta S2 very muchI am not sure if I had put in a review for the first season of the show which I why I feel necessary to start off with the fact it was absolutely brilliant and I considered a 9 out of 10 and re-binged just when season 2 started off.

I would like to keep my review of Atlanta S2 very much like the season itself: short and to the point. It is crisp with humor and subtle parodic representation of the world and somehow manages to squeeze great moments like 'Alligator Man', 'Money Bag Shawty', 'Barbershop' (It was ridiculous and almost made snap and laugh simulataneously), 'Teddy Perkins' and 'FUBU'( Special episdoe of sorts where the general storytelling is shifted differently; Like it was for 'B.A.N' back in season 1). And as the season ended with 'Crabs in A Barrel', we got throwback references and a look at how far The paerboi crew have come and reaffirm their loyalties (which means stuff gon be alright for S3, at least as much as it can be in the Glover Brother & co. direction of the narrative ;p).
I really liked Hiro Murai's direction in the season, all more buoyed by the 'This Is America' official vidoe by Don Glove (Sounds like One Piece manga character; I can only hope someone drops into Eiichiro Oda's ears) which so much fun and felt like it was cut out of some Atlanta dream clip scene for Earn himself. The main cast is very good, spotlight on Zazie Beetz for landing Domino in Deadpool 2 and nailing the humor in it and Brian Tyree Henry who is actually a soulful siinger who attended Yale Drama School and sang 'We Can Always Come Back To This' in the tear-jerking TV show This Is Us. Darius is Darius is Darius (I know the actor has a name, is a succesful rapper but Darius, ya know). I would like to end with kudos to the writers for portraying so many social commentaries in an enjoyable and tactful manner and I look forward to the next season from your pens to our screens.… Expand

I loved Atlanta until season 2. The show has become less about the characters and more about racism. Almost every episode is about racism now and the last episode has caused a lot of hate towards white people. I saw so many Reddit threads saying white should pay for the past.. I’m sorry thatI loved Atlanta until season 2. The show has become less about the characters and more about racism.

I’m sorry that just isn’t right. I’m so tired of the hate that fills this world we don’t need anymore fuel to that. That’s last episode was it for me. I’m not going to watch another hate white people episode. This show is not was it was originally.… Expand
