The third season of Atlanta took quite a long time and it seems that after two very solid parts, the acclaimed series created by Hiro Murai and Donald Glover has left its small but passionate group of fans quite divided, the golden question is, ¿ Negative reviews make sense or not?

As I have stated on several occasions, Atlanta is a series that from the beginning has played with many experimental elements, creating a surreal but magnetic product that may not be for everyone but strongly captivates, presented as the chronicles of a rapper, his best friend and his manager trying to make it in America, Glover gloated for 30 minutes every week to narrate the stories he wanted, breaking the mold of genres, characters, settings and rhythm.

Although the idea is fully appreciated, we must admit that it is a very volatile concept in which the absence of formulas leaves its own creators adrift on the unpredictable Internet, which on this occasion seems to have taken the increasingly recurrent absence very bitterly. of the leading trio led by Glover himself alongside Lakeith Stanfield and Bryan Tyree Henry. Although the intentions of turning Atlanta into an anthology work were clear from the beginning, perhaps the existence of a cliffhanger with such a strong narrative at the end of the second season four years ago did not contribute to the expectations of the general public regarding what we would see. this year.

For me, beyond this it would be disrespectful to question the quality of Atlanta Season 3, based solely on the occasional lack of some characters that appeared to be expendable in the first place... But hey.

It is a natural extension to everything that came before, ready to continue the adventures of Paper Boy, Darius and Earn in Europe, opening up to new stories where we will accompany almost random characters that arrive, leave us marked and leave.

As always, although from episode to episode there is not a strong connection in superficial terms, Atlanta looks much more focused than ever when it comes to thematic density, using the old continent in most cases as a setting that enhances the aura almost supernatural of the adventures we witness.

Atlanta is a bittersweet synthesis of African-American society, brave enough to embrace its strengths and weaknesses, it feels honest, sincere, powerful. But it is sometimes so unconventional that it is easy to understand its detractors.

I personally really enjoyed the trip.

La tercera temporada de Atlanta se hizo esperar bastante y pareciera, que luego de dos partes muy sólidas, la aclamada serie creada por Hiro Murai y Donald Glover ha dejado a su pequeño pero apasionado grupo de admiradores bastante divididos, la pregunta de oro es, ¿Las críticas negativas tienen sentido o no?

Cómo he expuesto en varias ocasiones, Atlanta es una serie que desde el principio ha jugado con muchísimos elementos experimentales, creando un producto surrealista pero magnético que quizá no sea para todo el mundo pero cautiva con fuerza, presentada como las crónicas de un rapero, su mejor amigo y su manager tratando de surgir en América, Glover se regodeaba durante 30 minutos cada semana para narrar las historias que el quisiera, rompiendo esquemas de géneros, personajes, settings y ritmo.

Aunque se aprecia totalmente la idea, debemos admitir que es un concepto muy volátil en dónde la ausencia de fórmulas deja a sus propios creadores a la deriva del tan impredecible Internet, que en esta ocasión parece haber tomado con muchísima amargura la cada vez más recurrente ausencia del trío protagonista liderada por el mismo Glover al lado de Lakeith Stanfield y Bryan Tyree Henry. Si bien desde sus inicios eran claras las intenciones de convertir Atlanta en una obra antológica, quizá la existencia de un cliffhanger con una narrativa tan firme al final de la segunda temporada hace cuatro años no contribuyó con las expectativas del público general respecto a lo que veríamos este año.

Para mí, más allá de esto sería una falta de respeto cuestionar de calidad de Atlanta Season 3, sustentandose únicamente en la falta ocasional de algunos personajes que aparentaban ser fungibles en primer lugar... Pero bueno.

Es una extensión natural a todo lo que vino antes, dispuesta a continuar las aventuras de Paper Boy, Darius y Earn en Europa, abriéndose a nuevas historias en dónde acompañaremos a personajes casi aleatorios que llegan, nos dejan marcados y se van.

Cómo siempre, aunque de Episodio a episodio no hay una conexión fuerte en términos superficiales, Atlanta se ve mucho más enfocada que nunca cuando se trata de densidad temática, empleando el viejo continente en la mayoría de los casos como un escenario que realza el aura casi sobrenatural de las aventuras que presenciamos.

Atlanta es una sintetización agridulce a la sociedad afroamericana, con valentía suficiente para abrazar sus fortalezas y debilidades, se siente honesta, sincera, potente. Pero resulta en ocasiones tan poco convencional que es fácil comprende a sus detractores.

Yo personalmente disfruté muchísimo el viaje.

    I only saw the first episode of this series, but it was good enough and captivating in fact. I think I'll go for more as soon as I can get around to it. Good review, good summary, good post.
