Atlanta - Reviews

The show is masterful in eliciting a range of feelings - a combination of joy and horror, tension and relief - but none more so than surprise.

In so many areas, Atlanta sets the bar exceptionally high.

Bracingly funny and devastatingly serious...

You've seen this "a star is born" setup before, but this drama makes it fresh with terrific, appealing actors and smart, funny dialogue that makes even hackneyed scenes seem new.

...being a clapter-filled woke-fest, something designed to be appreciated for its politics but isn’t enjoyable to sit through.

It's risky, it's weird, and it's one of the best new shows of the year.

My favorite new show of the fall.

Driven by Glover's charm and throwaway wit, Atlanta both compels and mystifies.

...this peerless show’s impact will live for ever.

...cloaked in a heavy yet strangely exhilarating veil of dread.

...feels like stream of consciousness from its writers, allowing general and specific stories to play out upon a surrealist palette.

Donald Glover's bold, bracing comedy is still like nothing else on TV.

Ett modernt mästerverk.

...är kul, men humorn är torrare än i Glovers tidigare projekt. Den ligger ofta i kontrasten mellan drömmarna om plötslig framgång och den mediokra verklighet karaktärerna lever i.

...ett bevis på att kreativt risktagande betalar sig.
