.judyberman: The persistence of 'Atlanta,' TV’s greatest surrealist comedy
can be a metaphor for the churning emptiness of social media. And while Atlanta is also a very real capital city that spans some 130 square miles of northern Georgia,the experimental masterwork, TV’s greatest surreal comedy, has no fixed location.
, from 1924. “Stories that are still in a green state.” The season’s opening salvo, “Three Slaps,” could be just such a fairy tale. Scripted by the creator’s brother Stephen Glover, whose growing list of classic episodes includes “Nobody Beats the Biebs” and last season’s upsetting middle-school flashback “FUBU,” it follows an elementary schooler named Loquareeous whose mom and grandfather are called into a meeting with the principal about the boy’s disruptive behavior.
Once they’re out of the office, his mother scolds him: “If you don’t start using your common sense and acting right, these white people, they gonna kill you.” Then his grandfather gives him three comically light slaps across the face, as the counselor, a white woman, looks on. She walks him back to class, promising to get him out of a home she’s decided is abusive.
