The writers' fervor for experimentation coupled with Hiro Murai's gauzy, fantastical directing style make this one of the few places on TV where anything can happen, and more often than not, the big swings work.

Atlanta has already proven that it can pull off any concept or format change it damn well pleases, but this week takes its chameleonic strengths to a whole other level.

Rated: A

While the episode is somewhat sleepy, it’s nice to see Earn and Van’s relationship grow and evolve to this point.

Rated: 3/5

If Atlanta had one more heater left in the chamber; one more “step-out” or risk to take before closing out their awe-inspiring time on television? Let’s go out with an “examination” of a film that legitimately has held a place in the community.

To touch upon the importance and value of A Goofy Movie to the Black community, and do an entire episode about it when or show has only three episodes left is most definitely an impressive feat.

This episode is hilarious and heartbreaking, deftly telling a captivating story about a man who never existed but plausibly could have.

Rated: 4.5/5
