Atlanta’s Second Season Is Stronger and Stranger




Season two has finally arrived, after a long hiatus that permitted Glover to play young Lando Calrissian in the Han Solo spinoff movie. The story lines are harsher and more unsettling than what we saw last time, a change befitting the grim new national context (Obama was still president when Glover shot season one). Everyone’s hustling harder than ever, doing whatever they have to do to survive from week to week and sometimes minute to minute. The stories take place in the run-up to Christmas, dubbed “robbin’ season” here owing to the annual holiday-driven spike in armed robberies. As before, violence erupts out of nowhere or builds slowly through an accumulation of outwardly unremarkable details, as in the opening sequence, in which scenes of a couple of guys hanging out and playing video games build to a close-quarters gunfight in a restaurant that plays as ridiculous until the end, when the blood and screams flip the vibe from slapstick to horror: Earn visits his uncle, who keeps a gold pistol under his bed and a fully grown alligator in a spare bedroom; Alfred hangs out with a teetotaling, weed-averse rapper who turns out to be much more menacing than him, and he struggles to maintain his drug business; Van has to settle for an incrementally less enjoyable date night because whenever Earn tries to spend legally obtained $100 bills businesses won’t accept them, because the staff can’t get their minds around the idea of a quiet, eloquent young black man described by another character as “preppy” having that

So far the second season has 100% Metacritic rating based upon 4 reviews

Katt Williams to be featured in season 2

Katt Williams will be joining Donald Glover on the upcoming season of Atlanta.


One of the best shows to come out within the past few years is Donald Glover's FX Series Atlanta. It was a refreshing effort from Glover, post-Community and Childish Gambino. One of the highlights of the show is the guest appearances and we're waiting to see who's going to pop up on the next season. While there's a month until the show premieres, there's one legendary comedian who's confirmed he'll be popping up in season 2.

Indie Wire grades the first three episodes an A

The premiere catches the audience up: New dynamics have formed between friends, and matters of pride, family, and reliance are studied. Earn, a Princeton drop-out, remains worried about where he’ll end up; what kind of man he’ll become because he didn’t take the safest route available to sound living. Even with continued success, the friends’ social status hasn’t changed, but the expectation of further prosperity has them thinking about the future. Earn comes face-to-face with his fears in aptly odd fashion, involving a dynamite guest turn from Katt Williams and an actual alligator.
