Review of Atlanta

Wow, what to say about Atlanta. I remember being so excited when this show was announced. After loving Donald in Community, and his stand up and of course his music; I figured this would be his best work as he was getting to do just what he wanted to do. Like everyone else is saying, the first season was great but this review is of the show as a whole and not just the first season, hence the low rating. The second season started to fall off a bit but was still alright and had its moments. The 3rd season is where things started to take a turn, they stopped focusing on the current stories they were telling and started telling random one off stories that had nothing to do with the show. Even when they did come back to the characters we know, it was not great and forgettable. The 4th season continued the absolute randomness: one off stories and literally no direction for the main characters. I seriously struggled to force myself to finish the last season. It really feels like they had no idea what to do with the show or where to go and definitely didn't know how to end it. Mostly posting this to balance out the reviews on this show, they are seemingly all 9s and 10s but I think most of them are only rating the first two seasons. And then there is a part of me that thinks maybe I just didn't get it, maybe this show wasn't meant for me. But honestly feel like Donald was just trying to get way too deep and meaningful and just failed but most people don't want to admit that he failed in something.
