	Author	Review
United States	D. Hood IGN	"[4th Season Review]: Clever storytelling delivers tongue-in-cheek social commentary without hitting viewers over the head with its moral compass. Intelligent and timely"	POS
United States	LaToya Ferguson The Wrap	"[4th Season Review]: It combines all the comedy and horror and surrealism of the first three seasons, as that is the visual language of the series to make something that is worth remembering fondly"	POS
United States	Robert Daniels The Playlist	"[4th Season Review]: The cohesiveness that once catapulted this series to prominence, however, barely exists. All that’s left are the shards of what once was"	NEG
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[4th Season Review]: a funny, effectively weird culmination of the show’s interrogation of the ephemeral natural of 'stardom'"	POS
United States	Joel Keller Decider	"[4th Season Review]: The final season of Atlanta has a sense of the surreal that makes the delivery of its message a whole lot easier to take than the show’s third season"	POS
United States	Samuel Harwood Slant	"[4th Season Review]: It has consistently provided some of the toughest and most refreshing satire on the entertainment world as a whole (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Peyton Robinson rogerebert.com	"[4th Season Review]: among the expected amount of absurdist comedy, there are true moments of emotional impact regarding stigmatized aspects of Black life"	POS
United States	Ross Bonaime Collider	"[4th Season Review]: Atlanta is assessing its legacy in a way that is often both profound and hilarious, and proves that Atlanta is going out as one of the best shows of the 21st century so far."	POS
United States	Allison Keene Paste Magazine	"[4th Season Review]: Unlike Season 3, there are fewer (if any) memorable moments from the start of Season 4. It mostly runs off vibes, filled with ennui, as its characters exist adrift in their own lives"	NEU
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"[4th Season Review]: Dense, silly, self-aware, surreal, disagreeable, and sublime"	NEU
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[3rd Season Review]: You can't judge an 'Atlanta' season on only two episodes, but they're both great (...) They’re disturbing, bizarre and hilarious"	POS
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"[3rd Season Review]: The premiere episode’s powerful assuredness, as well as the deep concern with looking uncomfortably hard and finding the grim comedy and the outlandish sorrow within American life, is [what makes this show great]"	POS
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"[3rd Season Review]: 'Atlanta' is tonally in line with what came before and carries itself with conviction befitting the filmmakers’ experience and acclaim"	POS
United States	Ross Bonaime Collider	"[3rd Season Review]: [This season] proves that 'Atlanta' is simply one of the best written shows on television."	POS
United States	Dominic Patten Deadline	"[3rd Season Review]: 'Atlanta' returns for a season 3 that has masterpiece written all over it"	POS
United States	Cassie Da Costa Vanity Fair	"[3rd Season Review]: Literally and conceptually, the new season of Donald Glover's genre-defying show is gloomy —but bursts of playfulness provide a bit of lift"	POS
United States	Ethan Anderton SlashFilm	"[3rd Season Review]: Undeniably great, [it] delivers what fans have come to love about the series while still pushing the boundaries of what [it] can be (...) Hilarious, surreal, profound, and first-class piece of entertainment"	POS
United States	Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"[3rd Season Review]: Season three is worth the wait (...) Our reunion with this family has been long delayed, but thank goodness it's here. We give a fuck. And we need it"	POS
United States	Liam Mathews TV Guide	"[3rd Season Review]: [It] remains one of TV's most distinctive shows, if not the most distinctive, artistically ambitious show of its era (...) Hilarious, disturbing, sad, silly, and is unafraid to challenge its audience"	POS
United States	Sonia Saraiya Variety	"[2nd Season Review]: The premiere (...) is a brilliant, mind-bending opening (...) 'Atlanta' is funny, but it’s not funny in a way any other comedy is"	POS
United States	James Poniewozik The New York Times	"[2nd Season Review]: It is the same. And it is different. And that’s a wonderful, surreal, hilarious thing (...) [It] is so good, it’s almost criminal."	POS
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"[2nd Season Review]: The three episodes made available to critics (...) are brilliant, thrilling and intentionally unsettling."	POS
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"[2nd Season Review]: [It] changes the game with sharp new episodes that’ll leave you on edge (...) Meticulous but surprising"	POS
United States	Darren Franich Entertainment Weekly	"[2nd Season Review]: Surreal, hilarious, and sad (...) The ecstatic pleasure of 'Atlanta' is how it grounds nigh-Lynchian strangeness in addictive specificity"	POS
United States	Verne Gay Newsday	"[2nd Season Review]: Still bleak, uncompromising and (utterly) original. Also a little meaner and more embittered (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"For now, Glover’s series feels like it’s on the cusp of something great. We’ll be watching."	POS
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"The scripts for the four episodes made available to critics are as richly nuanced (...) You will not only know these characters after only one episode, you’ll be hooked on them, as well. In so many areas, 'Atlanta' sets the bar exceptionally high."	POS
United States	Sonia Saraiya Variety	"A finished, cinematic, and beautiful production that may be one of the best new shows of the fall."	POS
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"Its simplicity and execution are shockingly self-assured as it avoids being pigeonholed."	POS
United States	Jeff Jensen Entertainment Weekly	"FX has built itself into the most exciting network on television with a mix of strategies suffused with strong authorial vision, and (...) 'Atlanta' fits right in (...) It’s risky, it’s weird, and it’s one of the best new shows of the year."	POS
