“Atlanta” is nothing short of a cultural achievement with the awards and critical acclaim to back it up. In Season 1, Donald Glover wanted viewers to feel what it’s like to be black, while in Season 2, his brother Stephen Glover emphasized that the show would attempt to capture the essence of life in Atlanta.
While the FX series has tackled those goals narratively and thematically, with deft insight and biting humor, “Atlanta” also brings home the feel of the town on a more visceral level as well. Shooting on location at familiar haunts but through a filmmaker’s eye gives the city of Atlanta the spotlight in a way that hasn’t been seen before. Working in concert with the visuals is the show’s soundtrack that represents the diversity of musical influences in the city.
