Glover is a young guy trying to break into the music business in Atlanta. His cousin happens to have a hit single and he's able to convince him to let Glover be his manager. Hijinks ensue while he's also trying to keep the relationship with the mother of his child going.
It's really well done, with good humor as well as some very poignant moments about life. Obviously plenty of good music too.
Started it last night and I am glad i did. Great writing coupled with a great cast is usually a recipe for success. It had me engaged from the first scene.
Even though I am not a huge fan of rap today aside from a few artists (marble-mouthed auto-tuned crap, IMO...when did rappers lose the ability to enunciate?), I love rap culture and knowing people that live in ATL, they say it's a pretty accurate portrayal.
It definitely takes some jabs at some controversial societal stereotypes but it does it in a thought-provoking way while still delivering on the humor side, which is a tough balancing act these days.
It's a shame the show is taking a break so Glover can film the next Star Wars standalone. I guess that's what happens when you're talented.
