Featured reviews
This episode is really good, i think i really like it because of how experimental it is/ was. Donald Glover does a great job with the Entire Atlanta Show ( This is my First Time watching the Show, but this episode deservers 10/10 stars so here i am reviewing it. ) the episode is unique and had me laughing, no matter if it was the commericals just being so honest and funny, the dodge charger arc was hilarious ( JUST WATCH IT!) the talk show with paperboi and the lady is hilarious aswell, and the fact they made a full on cereal commerical is so funny, the entire episode feels like a love letter to television, give it a watch. You might end up wanting to rewatch it.
Me: I love Disney+ cos I don't have to put up with ads
Disney: so anyway here's Atlanta
The best way I can describe this is those ads in between songs on GTA games and the interviews like the therapy sessions in GTA 5
It also have some smart social commentary especially the cartoon breakfast one.

If you want to laugh and continuously laugh this is the episode to watch. I could watch two hours of this episode it was tremendously funny. Whoever wrote this particular episode they need an Emmy. It was something very different as well not just a standard show that uses comedy or drama, but the concept of how they did this episode was just superb. I would've probably acted the same way "paper boi" did. I cannot imagine who did not rate this at 10, because it is certainly warranted to get the highest rating one could possibly get. Take my advice watch this episode if you don't want to watch the entire series you will laugh laugh laugh.
1. Alfred's on an interview
2. Dodge commercial
3. Harrison gets a bang
I love this episode. It's super meta, being a tv show in a tv show and it's so full of satire and irony. Every single ad of the Black American Network in itself is funny and offers a social commentary. It only features Black Americans in its ads and it almost looks unnatural to seem them act in a way that you would see in a normal TV ad. I also found the whole interview hilarious. The age-old debate of the rap community being homophobic or transphobic was featured and Alfred's take on it is probably the most common opinion. The reaction of people being easily offended or misinterpreting the person online is so real and it was captured hilariously.
In a comedic tone, this episode also questions you about your own biases before trying to preaching diversity to others. Harrison, a black man who thinks he's white, asks other to embrace his own trans-racial identity but he's transphobic and homophobic himself. I don't think Donald Glover necessarily interjects his own opinion or make a value judgement. He just tries to captures the conversation that happen in real life in a TV format. I think comedy is great in that sense because it expands the spectrum of the dialogue by allowing it more room.
While this episode steered from Atlanta's usual format, it's high class satire with a unique lens. Loved it so much!

I haven't laughed that much at an episode in a while, this is genuinely so funny. That black kid coming on the show with a blonde wig on saying he's a 35 year old white man hahah. Paper poi calling him Ellen and Malfoy lmao.

- Quotes
Franklin Montague: Paper Boi, isn't a lack of a father the reason you hate transpeople?
Alfred 'Paper Boi' Miles: What? Lack of a father? Man, you hear yourself? Shut up. Man, here's the thing.Man, I it's hard for me to care about this when nobody cares about me as a black human man, you feel me? Like, Caitlyn Jenner is just doing what rich white men been doing since the dawn of time, which is whatever the hell he want.
