[The first episode is] a standalone episode chilling enough to rival season 2 highlight “Teddy Perkins,” in which the series’ increasingly illustrious cast is all but absent. ... Unsparing is, among others, the right word to describe these two conjoined episodes, if not the show as a whole. It justifies the persistence of Atlanta, an entire ocean away from Atlanta.

The first two episodes of season three cement Atlanta’s reputation as a classic-in-progress and one of the most daring and imaginative shows on television, period. Read full review

Is this a sketch? A meta-critique of cancel culture? Or is Neeson just standing up and staying sorry? It is possibly all three at once. Above all, it is darkly, hysterically funny. And that is the genius of Atlanta – a comedy that is full of horror and bleak chuckles. Read full 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

It may have taken four years for Atlanta to come back, but it’s lost none of its daring in the interim. We do prefer the episodes where Earn and crew are all together, but we’re looking forward to seeing where Glover and company take their storytelling this season. Read full review

It would take a potent, sinister spell for “Atlanta” not to return as itself. In this season, even when the series aims for discomfort, a blatant disregard to be defined except on its own terms makes for a knowing calm. Read full review

Cassie da Costa

Even more so than the first two seasons of the show, season three takes off with a murkily depressive bent. Natural light struggles to intrude on shades of gray; every actor is dead-eyed. ... In these first two episodes, the show’s narrative playfulness and comedic absurdity save it from descending into pure swampiness. ... But so far, the mood feels stubbornly reflexive.

I considered Atlanta a great show after Season 1 and 2. This season, in my opinion, cements the status of Atlanta as one of the greatest tv shows of all time.

Absolutely brilliant. Every episode has been an amazing journey and it’s such a pleasure to sit back and take in what Donald Glover and team have cooked up. Incredible!

It is still fresh, unique, surrealistic, and above all poignant. It keeps pushing the boundaries of what to expect and even of what is acceptable. After such a long hiatus there is always a fear that a show has lost its magic, but Glover keeps proving that the creative genius cap that was placed on his head nearly a decade ago is not unearned. I am looking forward to seeing where this season is going because I have no doubt it will keep surprising me.… Expand

[original score:10 ]

Gone long enough to convince people it might just be over ATLANTA returns as if ut never left. It's masterful tone intact perfecting it's balance of tension, horror, surrealism and social commentary. Debut with two long awaited episodes that quite any doubts about stagnation but instead challenge yet again what the bar is. It's still pushing forward capturing hard to discern moments of confusion, fear and anxieties. Despite usually being reluctant to score shows so early in a season Atlanta speaks for itself.

[Update]
This season hit the ground running with a balance of horror, humour and drama that we've come to love from Atlanta but this season played out like a time to a flower in a vase: begins as beautiful as when you picked it only to decay. Thats what season 3 has done,it feels off brand. It meanders and feels so out of touch like the inclusion of Liam Nielson who actively expressed violent racist sentiments or the infamous appropriator Chet Hanks who besides his privileged appropriation of Jamaican culture is documented being violent to black women,irrespective of intention these choices felt provocative for the sake of being so . As well as the lack of character development whatsoever, Vanessa is varely present,the European tour is insignificant. The way it confronts topics such as white guilt or black pain isn't revelatory or remotely interesting. This whole season felt forgettable and unnecessary .… Expand

After a long awaited 3rd season, I'm sad to say I was rather disappointed.

This season, as a whole, was far more of a mixed bag than the first two seasons, which I consider some of the best TV produced in the last decade. It has some highs (Three Slaps and The Old Man and the Tree stood out to me as great episodes in particular), but the rest of the season, at many points, just doesn't feel the same to me. A lot of the humor that made the first two seasons stand out got sidelined for more of the horror elements, which is not a bad thing, but does make some points of the season feel dry. The main cast gets sidelined for over half the season as well, which is a bold decision but one that ultimately doesn't work. Many people (myself included) loved the first two seasons for the leads, and for them to not even be in 5 of the episodes feels wrong and like fans of the show got ripped off. Finally, while some episodes feel unique in their thematic elements, others feel very much like they retread on themes of previous seasons. Overall, I hope for better things in the final season (and hopefully a return to Atlanta the city, rather than hopping all over Europe), but I must say the triumphant return of the series feels more like a roller coaster than consistent quality.… Expand

Idk why no one is admitting how bad and offbrand this season is. But I’ll say it. Seasons one and two had comedic gold with a slow story build for drama. This genre-bending thriller stuff is not it!
