Atlanta is one of the best comedy shows ever made and it also made Donald Glover one of the biggest names in Hollywood. The series also features brilliant performances from actors like Zazie Beetz, LaKeith Stanfield, and everybody’s favorite Brian Tyree Henry. The series follows Earnest Marks (Glover) as he tries to manage his cousin’s rap career, but that is not a sufficient enough description of Atlanta because sometimes it is a very surreal show and sometimes it ventures on some of the weirder sides of storytelling. Recently it was announced that Atlanta Season 4 will be the final season ending the acclaimed series run at FX, which means that there will no Season 5 if you don’t like that we have prepared a list of shows that are similar to Atlanta in some ways or another because there is no other show like Atlanta.
