Fresh off FX’s gift of 6 new Atlanta teasers, Donald Glover had plenty to tell reporters at the Television Critics Association (TCA) summer press tour. Glover spoke candidly about the artistic intentions behind Atlanta, the importance of clean-cut endings, and his frustrations with the pace of society’s progressions.
“The thesis with [Atlanta] was kind of to show people how it feels to be black,” Glover told reporters at TCA Tuesday, according to the Hollywood Reporter. “What was important to me was that this show was personal and had a specific take because that’s all you can really ask for from a show nowadays, having a specific point of view on something.”
