Spring Series Ender - Atlanta

Atlanta only concluded it's "Euro-Trip" season three back in May after a long ass break. Season three was a wild watch, however season four returns to Atlanta for some more weird.

Donald Glover is a boss, he leads as Earnest "Earn" Marks along with rapper Paper Boi (Brian Tyree Henry).

The fourth & final season premiered on mid September, concluding on SBS on Demand late this week. I have given SBS on Demand a smashing over the last bit. With two seasons of Atlanta and the brilliant fifth season of The Handmaid's Tale.

Sadly I cannot say this is as brilliant as Elizabeth Moss's stellar series.


Atlanta tackles social issues, sometimes in a funny way like when Deadra Moore as Christine, a woman in a mobility scooter who relentlessly pursues Darius after falsely accusing him of looting.

Or there was random episodes like the one, Soulja Boy starred as himself. Who is forced to go on the run after the "Crank Dat Killer" starts targeting those who posted videos doing the “Crank That” dance.

So after 41 episodes of Atlanta, what did I learn take from this FX produced drama/comedy? I am not sure. I still love Donald Glover, however this show was a bit hit and miss. Some episodes worked and slayed, whilst some just totally missed the mark. For me anyway.

Until next time. And seriously there are a lot of shows set to conclude before summer officially starts. Chucky, the awful American Horror Story: NYC, The Walking Dead finally ends while Andor also ends it's first season run on Disney+.
