It’s hard to remember now, but it’s way back in 2016 when Donald Glover’s one-of-a-kind series first aired on FX, before the release of Jordan Peele’s Get Out and The Era of President Trump. and people thought they had it covered.
In a TV show named after a city famous for its musical heritage, Atlanta (Disney+) tells the story of an aspiring rapper named Paper Boi (Brian Tyree Henry) and his aimless cousin Arne (Glover). It looked like a black version of the country music soap of Nashville. Or is it a quirky sitcom about hip-hop and his soap opera Empire, or is it for boys, like Lena Dunham’s girls?
