FX Presents Atlanta

With Atlanta currently being the hip hop music capital, it came as no surprise when FX announced a show titled Atlanta as a new series. The series stars Glee actor and rapper Donald Glover aka "Childish Gambino" as Earn, a struggling ATL native who comes across the opportunity to improve his lifestyle through the music industry. Earn is the cousin of a local rap artist, Paper Boy who's at the beginning of what looks like a promising rap career, that Earn offers to manage in attempt to gain income. As an Atlanta resident the characterization of the series shows dept insight of the ATL culture and personalities that you'll find in many areas of the city. Setting the base and tone of the series, while connecting each character to the main plot. The pilot episodes created instant interest for its audience, touching on topics like gun violence, influencing the youth, and of course police brutality. Which are all topics that are present in today's society. Overall the show is relate able and entertaining, I look forward to see where Atlanta takes us.
