Atlanta is Donald Glover's baby. Whilst I love Childish Gambino for every piece of music he puts out, TV wise, Atlanta is an interesting watch.
We had a long wait for season three, we last saw the season two finale back on May 10, 2018. We may not have to wait as long for already renewed fourth season. The fourth and final season is set to premiere in fall 2022.
So season three offers some plot development with rapper Paper Boi (Brian Tyree Henry) touring across Europe with Earnest "Earn" Marks (Glover) alongside individual episodes exploring issues of race.
The season takes place in Europe, with the characters in the middle of a European tour. The European cities featured throughout the season include Amsterdam, London, and Paris. The season also explores events happening back in America outside of the core characters in a vignette format, all through Earn’s dreams. These episodes take place in Atlanta, and New York.
The season has received critical acclaim, with television commentators lauding the performances, directing, writing, and storytelling. However, the standalone episodes have garnered a more mixed response as the season has gone on; whilst they were initially praised, as they have progressed criticisms have gone towards the abrupt changes in settings, the anthological nature of each episode, as well as the main cast not appearing in any of the standalone episodes.
I found this season to be an incredibly easy watch, however the standalone episodes did really make you wonder, what show am I watching? At times that is. Then you remember, hell I'm watching Atlanta on SBS On Demand.
So I was late (very late) to the party, watching all ten episodes back to back. The season concluded back on May 19th, so I made it through pretty damn quick. Until the next finale review, hope this new moon isn't putting out too much bad energy in your necks of the woods.
