Atlanta (2016)
Atlanta is a TV series created by and starring Donald Glover as Earnest "Earn" Marks as he navigates life in the Georgia capital. Most of Earnest's focus is on improving his and his daughter's life.

Summary
Atlanta is a TV series created by and starring Donald Glover as Earnest "Earn" Marks as he navigates life in the Georgia capital. Most of Earnest's focus is on improving his and his daughter's life. From attempting to make amends with his former girlfriend Vanessa (Zazie Beats) to helping his cousin Alfred "Paper Boi" Miles, Earnest does what he can. Atlanta tends to follow separate story arcs in an anthology-like approach in the later seasons with a surreal style. However, the core story surrounds Earn's struggles with poverty, homelessness, racism, and more as he tries to help his cousin in his recent ascent to stardom as a rapper. Atlanta acts as a stylistic snapshot of the Atlanta rap scene, which offers Donald Glover's look into African-American ways of life and culture in the southern U.S. while exploring topics like identity, privilege, and racism.
