The Wrap | ‘Atlanta’ Review

The Wrap

Consistently funny with a proudly idiosyncratic vibe, “Atlanta” launches out of the gate with a firm grasp of its characters, milieu and worldview. Created by and starring Donald Glover (pictured), this FX series is a comedy-drama hybrid that glides between sadness, humor and surrealism without compromising any of its distinctive tones. After four episodes, “Atlanta” still shows no clear sign of where it might be going, but that hardly matters — with this much promise, you’ll want to follow wherever it roams.
