Earnest "Earn" Marks, a man experiencing homelessness, learns that his cousin, Alfred "Paper Boi" Miles, has become a semi-successful rapper. Earn asks Al if he can manage him, but Al turns him down, pointing out that Earn has not spoken to him since his mother's funeral. Earn proves his value as a manager by using subterfuge to get Al's song on a popular radio station, and goes to meet Al to discuss the possibility of employment. While talking, Al admits that he hates his music and is interrupted by a man smashing the side-view mirror on his car, leading to an altercation where he shoots the man in the chest.

The mother of his daughter Lottie, Vanessa "Van" Keefer, comes to pick him up when he is processed and bailed. Al finds that the shooting has made him even more popular, but notices a young child glamorizing the act of shooting someone because of him as well as a man in a Batman mask knocking on his door, both of which unnerve him.

Low on money, Earn tries to sell his phone at a pawn shop, but Darius convinces him to instead buy a sword that he plans to flip for even more money. He eventually ends up purchasing and selling an in-demand Cane Corso dog for money months down the line, infuriating Earn because of his need for the money as soon as possible.

Production

[edit]

Development

[edit]
Donald Glover serves as creator, executive producer, director, writer and lead actor of the series.

The series was announced in August 2013, with Donald Glover set as lead actor, creator, writer and executive producer. The series was offered to many networks but Glover chose FX for its willingness to accommodate his music touring schedule with the development of the series.[14] In December 2014, FX made a pilot order and Paul Simms and Dianne McGunigle joined as executive producers.[15] In October 2015, FX made a 10-episode series order, with plans to release it in 2016.[16] Nick Grad, President of Original Programming for FX Entertainment, commented "Donald Glover is a uniquely talented actor and performer who brings real-life experience to this subject matter. He, along with Paul Simms, has a very honest, sometimes serious, and funny perspective on life, the world of rap music and the city of Atlanta."[17]

Writing

[edit]

The series is also notable for having an all-black writing staff, which is virtually unheard of in American television. The writer's room consists of Glover himself, his brother Stephen Glover, and members of his rap collective 'Royalty' including Fam Udeorji (Glover's manager), Ibra Ake (Glover's longtime photographer), and Jamal Olori. Stefani Robinson, a writer for Man Seeking Woman, and Taofik Kolade round out the writer's room.[18][19]

Glover jokingly referred to the series as "Twin Peaks with rappers".[20] Glover, who grew up in Atlanta and also works as a musician, stated that "the city influenced the tone of the show".[21] He also chose the city as "there's an active dialogue of how things should be. The dynamics of the economy play out really well. It informs for a cool environment."[22] He commented on the development of the series, "There's so many screens that have to be filled now, between your television, your computer and your phone, that I think it's the perfect time to make something that I see, a perfect opportunity to combine everything that media is right now."[21] The series makes constant use of the N-word, which Glover defended as "that's how people talk. It's just the way it is. Trying to pretend that people don't talk like that, like I don't, it's kind of silly. I feel like if we ignore that, people would immediately turn on the television and not know what world they're on."[21]

Regarding the series' surrealism, Glover explained "There really isn't a limit to how abstract you can get, as long as you believe it. There has to be a grounded nature to something — if you have something that is grounded on some level, you can go anywhere. You just have to have it so that they’re abiding by their own rules every step of the way."[23]

Casting

[edit]

When the pilot was ordered, Glover was reported to play Earnest "Earn" Marks, "a college drop-out who taps into his own musical aspirations when his estranged family member finds sudden fame."[24]

In July 2015, Brian Tyree Henry, LaKeith Stanfield and Zazie Beetz joined the series as the remaining cast members. Henry would play Alfred Miles, "Atlanta's hot of the moment rapper who plans to capitalize on the sudden fame as quickly as possible". Stanfield would play Darius, "Alfred's oddly talented right-hand man and musical collaborator". And Beetz would play Van, "a pragmatist caught up in a complicated relationship with Earn (Glover) due to their daughter".[25]

Filming

[edit]

Filming on the pilot began in July 2015 in Atlanta, with Hiro Murai directing the episode.[26] Murai previously collaborated with Glover on music videos, commenting "It's obviously a different format. Even in the narrative format I've done, we've never had extensive scripted dialogue scenes and whatnot. But it felt like a natural extension of what Donald and I have done in the past. So in that sense it was a really nice, seamless transition."[27]

In August 2016, it was reported that Glover would make his directorial debut, directing the sixth and seventh episode.[28]

Critical reception

[edit]

The first season received widespread acclaim from television critics. The review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gives the first season an approval rating of 98% based on 141 reviews, with an average rating of 8.6/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Ambitious and refreshing, Atlanta offers a unique vehicle for star and series creator Donald Glover's eccentric brand of humor — as well as a number of timely, trenchant observations."[40] On Metacritic, the first season has a score of 90 out of 100, based on reviews from 37 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[41]

David Wiegand of the San Francisco Chronicle gave it a highly positive review, writing: "The scripts for the four episodes made available to critics are as richly nuanced as anything you'll see on TV or, to be sure, in a movie theater. You will not only know these characters after only one episode, you'll be hooked on them, as well. In so many areas, Atlanta sets the bar exceptionally high."[42] Sonia Saraiya of Variety also praised the series, declaring it a "finished, cinematic, and beautiful production that may be one of the best new shows of the fall."[43] Alan Sepinwall praised Glover's creativity, writing, "he wanted a chance to fail, and while not all of Atlanta works yet, it absolutely has that immersive quality Glover was hoping for."[44]
