What critics are saying about Atlanta

To add onto this, the story of Atlanta is not a continual cause and effect narrative the way most shows are. Atlanta expects the viewer to do some heavy lifting when it comes to inference. In other words, a lot of the story happens off screen and is implied by situations and character interactions.

Does Atlanta have a storyline? : r/AtlantaTV - Reddit

We wanted to make sure our show was honest and grounded even in the surrealism, we wanted created an elastic world were crazy ideas could exist." The Read world is Ridiculous - The real world is absurdity at times, so the Atlanta writers leaned into that absurdity as well for story telling, to make the audience feel the reality of the characters.
