According to its name ‘Taste of Disney’, ITV has initially included the first seasons of Disney+’s most-loved shows in their collection. They plan to expand this selection in the upcoming months with some of their top-rated series, such as The Bear, Andor, and Only Murders in the Building.

Now available on ITVX, you’ll find all ten episodes of the critically acclaimed first season of “Atlanta,” first aired in 2016. This unique series is the brainchild of creator and showrunner Donald Glover, who has garnered widespread praise from both critics and audiences alike.

According to a review on IMDb, the series Atlanta has been praised as extraordinary. This viewer strongly recommends that other viewers halt their current activities and quickly tune in to watch it.

The series was lauded for its raw, confrontational style, with one viewer commenting that it authentically portrays a segment of life seldom depicted on television.

Another person described Atlanta as a distinctive, offbeat portrayal of the Black-American experience, which can be quite surreal at times, boasting an ambitious narrative that is never predictable or conventional.

In addition to Glover playing the role of Earn Marks, a former Princeton dropout and struggling music manager, the show also features Brian Tyree Henry as Earn’s cousin who is an aspiring rapper named Alfred “Paper Boi” Miles.

Completing the ensemble of the series “Atlanta” is Zazie Beetz, known for her role in “Deadpool 2“. She portrays Van, who’s Earn’s fluctuating girlfriend and the mother of his child, Lottie.

In the films “Knives Out” and “Get Out”, LaKeith Stanfield stars as Darius, with several well-known personalities making appearances as fictionalized versions of themselves, including musicians Offset and Soulja Boy, actors Liam Neeson and Alexander Skarsgård.)

Season 1 of Atlanta is streaming on ITVX now. All seasons stream on Disney+ in the UK.

The latest print edition from Digital Spy is available now! Grab a copy of “Oasis – Live in ’25” from newsstands or online retailers for only £8.99.
