This coming weekend (November 10), it will officially be two years since the series finale of the critically acclaimed FX series Atlanta aired. The Donald Glover created comedy drama offered us four amazing seasons of some of the most groundbreaking, thought provoking and sometimes just down right outlandish television we’ve seen in recent memory. To pay homage to the cultural classic, we decided to highlight some of the most memorable scenes, characters and episodes from one of our all time favorite shows.

Atlanta premiered on FX on September 6, 2016. The series revolved around college dropout turned music manager Earn (Donald Glover) and his rapper cousin Paper Boi (Brian Tyree Henry). Along with their friend Darius (Lakeith Stanfield) and Earn’s baby mother Vanessa (Zazie Beetz), they navigate their way through the rap game and essentially go from rags to riches. Along the way, we get a depiction of the city of Atlanta and its rap scene like we’ve never seen before. The show was praised for its ability to explore the current cultural climate of the world that we live in and the creative and at times absurdly surreal depictions of all that comes with it. Every week, fans sat by the edges of their seats in anticipation for the next viral moment that would come from the conversation starting show.

The thing Atlanta was so good at was making moments that seemed to feel like cultural time stamps. You remember exactly where you were the first time you watched the Teddy Perkins episode. The laughs that came from the “B.A.N.” episode are some we wish we all could experience again. Were we all not collectively thinking that Van had lost her mind when she was in Paris? When we think about the legacy of Atlanta, we will think about the amazing cinematography, the uncanny storytelling and the unpredictable nature of each and every episode. We want to give Donald Glover and every one involved with the show their flowers. To celebrate the show’s amazing run, enjoy a gallery of some of the most memorable scenes, characters and episodes from the can’t miss hit series that had all of us in a chokehold. Slide in the comments and let us know your favorites!

This episode was pure genius. A half-hour of programming on a fictionalized news network. The commercials were dumb funny.
