Atlanta: Surreal Realism SeeMore!
-
- TV & Film
As the brainchild of renaissance man Donald Glover, the hit TV show Atlanta quickly cemented itself as one of the most unique modern series on television. Based in Atlanta, Earn (played by Glover) reconnects with his cousin Alfred (played by Brian Tyree Henry) after he makes a local hit song and attempts to be his manager. LaKeith Stanfield also stars as Darius, Alfred's right-hand, and Zazie Beetz plays Van, a struggling single mother. The FX series is created by Donald Glover, who also produces, writes, stars, and directs in it. In its 2 seasons, the show is already critically acclaimed raking in 80 nominations and winning an Emmy and a Golden Globe in the process. Joan explores why the show nails its unorthodox tone and manages to disarm viewers on a weekly basis with a blend of "surreal realism" with two very special guests in Jack Sommer and Kev De Los Santos (founders of Cesspool)! As always, no spoilers!
