Atlanta: Robbin' Season (2018 Donald Glover)

Absolutely amazing (and unexpected and funny) beginning in which a couple attempt to rob a drive-through. Then a man who keeps an alligator. And another rapper who seems friendly but isn't.

But.. still very much on the current Black existence, the casual and explicit racism. Also the ineptitude and falseness in the music business.

The hilarious episode with Paper Boi and the barber heralds a series of single character episodes which grow increasingly bizarre. In the next, Earn and his bae Van (Zazie Beetz) attend a strange kind of Oktoberfest and effectively split up, and in the weirdest of all, Darius (Lakeith Stanfield) attends the home of a reclusive black-turned-white musician (played by Glover). Then Van and her mates attend a party where the main attraction isn't even there. Finally, Paper Boi attempts to have a day out with a social media junkie star, gets attacked and lost in the woods.

Last three episodes bring the crew back together for an eventful college gig, a school flashback and the fate of Earn (and that gun that's been wandering around since episode one).

Donald Glover and Brian Tyree Henry both great (particularly the latter's reaction or non-reaction expressions).

Produced for FX. A bold, surreal and often laugh out loud funny series.
