Atlanta: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Megan McCluskey TIME Magazine The surrealist dramedy guides viewers on a hypnotic journey. May 24, 2023 Full Review Atlanta: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Lauren Carroll Harris Guardian It's even better than you've heard. Jul 31, 2019 Full Review Atlanta: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Alastair McKay London Evening Standard Glover is not overly interested in explaining himself, which is probably as it should be... Nothing is lost in translation, because nothing is translated. May 15, 2018 Full Review Atlanta: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Grethe Kemp Channel24 (South Africa) Atlanta's kick-back tone belies a throbbing political heart. You've got to watch this series. Jan 8, 2020 Full Review Atlanta: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Li Lai Mediaversity Reviews The creators, writers, and directors involved in Atlanta are all people of color, and damn, but it shows in the sheer complexity of their characters.

Kendri M Donald Glover never disappoints!!!! Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/14/24 Full Review David W Atlanta's first season kicks the series off with a strong start, delivering praiseworthy character development, humor, and social commentary via an approachably compact storyline. This season makes me look forward to exploring the series further. I would definitely watch it through again. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review D S Don't listen to all of the bad reviews. This was one of the best shows on TV for 4 years. The 3rd and 4th seasons got a little weird as clearly the direction changed, but it was still awesome. A couple episodes out of the 4 seasons were hit or miss but overall such a great series. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/24 Full Review Lukas-Jeremie K "Atlanta" is a very "special" series when you look at it soberly. The series somehow has everything you can imagine comedy, drama, thriller, sometimes even horror and yet it somehow works pretty well as a "package". The series has a basic story, but there are episodes here and there that don't really have anything to do with the actual story. But I didn't really expect anything less from Donald Glover - the man is special and it only makes sense that the series he is responsible for is also special. Personally, I see "Atlanta" as a way of portraying Donald Glover's personality. The series somehow goes in all possible directions and Donald Glover has also done everything from stand-up comedy to sitcoms to music, which is reflected here. A major theme of this series is the racism against Afro-Americans in the USA, which is unfortunately still taking place. The protagonists are regularly confronted with situations where they are excluded because of their origin. The anthology episodes of the series also shed light on this topic and often leave a lot of room for interpretation. But I think only those at least understand the series completely - I also had my problems somehow classifying the series as a complete work. The series isn't a comedy series, it's not a drama series and it's not a thriller series either, it's kind of all of them rolled into one - the series is often described as "Afro Surrealism", which I think is very appropriate (look up the word if you don't know what it means. It's quite complicated.). Otherwise there is nothing wrong with the series from a purely technical point of view. The four protagonists of the series played their roles very well and convincingly across the board. And the series also produced a lot of good pictures in terms of cinematography. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/24/23 Full Review Gareth v One of the best comedies of recent years.Funny, honest, weird and brilliant.Donald Glover showing why he is one of the most outstanding talents in entertainment today. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/24/23 Full Review Rodrigo V Donald Glover es un completo genio. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
