"Atlanta," Donald Glover's show on FX, snuck up on us. Instead of a one-note, grim'n'gritty look at the world of an up-and-coming rapper, "Atlanta" turned out be an ambitious, weird, complex, funny, strange show more interested in the idiosyncrasies of its characters than making generalizations about race. In short: it's terrific. Critic Michael Arceneaux joins us to discuss what made "Atlanta's" first season so good, and why you should give it a shot.
