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.
