Re: Atlanta (FX original, Donald Glover)

I love that it's Paper Boi, the rapper who sees the absurdity of all the **** going on and just has no idea what to do with it. Like the little kids acting out the shooting or the kid in the back of the car cussing.

He just has this look on his face like "Well... That just happened" and moves on.

Also the song choices, Keith Ape in the warehouse was awesome. They just get it.

I wish this show was longer than 30 minutes. The main cast is awesome, but the little side "society" characters that they sprinkle in is what really drives it home for me.

"I wasn't trying to rob you."

Hasn't been spoken on much, but I love, love, LOVE the soundtrack they've been using for the show so far.

Re: Atlanta (FX original, Donald Glover)

I think it is hilarious in a subtle way. It's not flashy or in your face with the humor or commentary. It contains some deep social and personal commentary without being complex and heady.

Basically it does a lot of things most of my favorite shows do that I tend to find few and far between.

Re: Atlanta (FX original, Donald Glover)

Is it me or does the show have an old school feel? The way the camera looks makes it seem like a 70s show for some reason.
