Atlanta is a state of mind, more than a TV show, in its "Robbin' Season"

Variety

"In its second season, Atlanta inches even further away from the traditional sitcom structure, opening onto a landscape that illustrates not merely the characters’ hijinks but the pervasive anxieties that form their backdrop," says Sonia Saraiya. "The editing distances the audience from the punch lines, drawing attention instead to the space between characters, to the environment they are eking humor from...Atlanta is funny, but it’s not funny in a way any other comedy is; it’s like the two opposing poles of “how can you laugh at that” and 'you must laugh at that' are forcibly horseshoed towards each other; sparks fly between the two."
