Review of Atlanta

Atlanta (2016–2022)
9/10
Perfect
7 June 2022
Finally finished up through season four and my review hasn't changed other than bumping the score, this show is perfect, I love it. Also further props to Hiro Murai's directing and Brian Tyree Henry, I hadn't appreciated his acting as Paper Boi enough. From the mind of Donald Glover and directed by Hiro Murai, Atlanta follows the early career of Earnest Marks as he tries to manage up and coming rapper, and his cousin, Paper Boi. I knew of Childish Gambino's Freaks and Geeks long before I knew of the show the song was named after or had ever seen Community, so this series has for a long time been high on my watchlist. And I have to say wow, this series is so well done, never really has a strong overarching plot other than the slow comeuppance of Paper Boi's career, each episode telling a new unique story about the wild and often unnerving world of Glover's Atlanta. Justin Bieber even shows up in this show too, wow he really is everywhere. I would highly recommend this show for anyone a fan of Glover, Zazie Beetz is a dream as always and I really liked LaKeith Stanfield's character Darius. If this seems like a show you'd like and haven't seen it please go watch it. It's incredible. I'm so excited to see what Glover comes up with next.
