Featured reviews
As a long time fan of Glover from Community, his stand up comedy, and even to his rapping (Childish Gambino), I was of course excited to see this show.
As a pale white guy from Ohio, I still found the show to be very enjoyable and with the way they did the first episode, it has a monumental chance to be successful. Darius cracks me up with how he thinks, he's exactly the type of quirky person you need in this type of show (assuming I know how it's going to continue), but he is basically the Daryl of Walking Dead. Everyone will love him and if he ever dies the show may go downhill without him.
Since I've been a fan of Donald since Community I may be a tiny bit biased, but he yet again seems to be a superb actor and I already felt connected to him and wanting him to 'win'.
It's no surprise Donald will turn this into an amazing series because he is a great actor and writer.
Just please don't kill Darius. How will we ever have rat phones if he dies?

What can be said about Atlanta that hasn't already been said? This show has had so much hype surrounding it and it has lived up to all that hype and then some. Yes, the first two seasons were better but even some of the bad episodes in these last two seasons were still pretty good. My only complaint about this show is how long it took between seasons. It was 2 years between seasons 1 and 2 and 4 years between season 2 and 3. That means in over 6 years we only got 3 seasons, but at least we got them. Donald Glover is one of the most in demand people on the planet. He's at the top right now with both his acting and music careers. Seriously, is there anything Donald Glover can't do?
Atlanta is such an incredible and must see show! Donald Glover is just an amazing talent who seems to do no wrong and who leads an all-around amazing cast! Donald Glover plays a character named Earn who's cousin Alfred (Brian Tyree Henry) is an up and coming rapper named Paperboy on Atlanta. Earn takes over as his manger as he grinds to make Paperboy one of the top hip-hop artists in the world. Those two along with their friend Darius (the underrated LaKeith Stanfield) get in all sorts of events. He also has a girlfriend Van (Zazie Beetz) who they have a child together. Some people didn't like season 3 as much because every other episode wa it's own story that didn't involve the stars of the show. It also took them away from Atlanta and over to Europe so it doesn't have the same feel. Even though it's not as good as the first two season I still liked it. I really can't say anymore about this phenomenal show except to go watch it!
The dialogue, the script, the chemistry of the characters. Amazing. The dynamic of the characters is broad. I feel invested. I actually feel like it's true life. I'm from Baltimore and it reminds me of conversations with friends when I was younger. Darius is seriously my favorite character... everything about the guy. I'm still laughing about the gun shop scene. (dont think that's considered a spoiler)
That was my review but they are making me fill more space. Just know that this is my FIRST review.. I think they deserve it.
Not many words here but I rave about this show to everyone.
Here's my 10th line.
