Starring and created by Donald Glover and written by he and his brother Stephen, amongst others. Quirky series is original and quite different to most other things despite fairly straightforward story of promoter and his rapping cousin 'Paper Boi' Brian Tyree Henry. With Zazie Beetz, Lakeith Stanfield.
Shocking moments utilised well - the whole show is about the black experience and being black in America, hugely evident in the series' funniest episode in which Paper Boi attends a TV talk show about a black who's 'identifying as white' - with many hilarious and scattershot TV ads peppered throughout. Clever writing exemplified by final episode in which our hero searches for his jacket and we don't know what's so important...
Glover was a writer on 30 Rock, acted in six seasons of Community and The Martian and raps under the name of Childish Gambino.
