Characterized by a feeling of unease, weirdness, or outright absurdity, the television show Atlanta utilizes Afro‐Surrealist storytelling to depict everyday experiences of minoritized individuals.

These limitations have pushed media makers to adopt alternative narratives for those who cannot identify with traditional televisual narratives.
