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

Loved the first season and the second season only got better! Such a deep show that manages to keep me so involved in where these characters are going. Massive fan of all of Donald's work. Lakeith is also an awesome dude.

So **** good. Such an engaging and authentic show. Loved every single episode so much. Donald Glover is legendary and Lakeith Stanfield is amazing. Can't wait for season 2.

“We need a chance to fail,” says Earn, bemoaning a one-chance (or no-chance), perfection-or-bust culture. Atlanta--a triumph of risk taking by its network and creator--moves you with this truth and others.

Atlanta, the new half-hour FX series from Donald Glover (Community), is satisfying and exciting on every level.

A finished, cinematic, and beautiful production that may be one of the best new shows of the fall.

Ultimately, this meandering, often brilliant show is held together by Glover, whose charming, sensitive presence is akin to the way Atlanta bops along on its own bemused frequency.

It benefits from the sort of deadpan, off-the-wall humor that powered 30 Rock.

This show is one of the most intriguing, mind bending, ingenious shows I've ever seen. Nothing else like it on TV. Donald Glover is a genius.

Severely overrated, after episode 5 it gets completely lost and if the plot was supposed to advance somehow it never happened.

Only watched the first episode. Really, it's kind of a humdrum show. Half the people I know have similar afternoons. I don't see what's so acclaimed or awesome about this.

I really don't get it. Where is the art? It tries to be so naturalistic that it feels forced. It feels as I'm just following the life of a rather unimportant man with an unimportant life and unimportant people who care about being important. Navel-gazing at its worst or, in other words, the Facebook Twitter generation and its dearth of imagination. D. Glover is cute and makes a few jokes but I really want to slap him across the face. Don't you?

Donald Glover is one of the worst actors I have ever seen. She simplycan not act. His horrible acting absolute ruins what could have been a great show.
