Sex & Nudity

  • There is a brief sex scene in the middle of season two where a character performs cunnilingus on another (no nudity).
  • There are several instances of non-sexualized full frontal male nudity in later seasons.
  • A picture of a fully nude man is seen briefly for comedic purposes
  • Strippers in a strip club mostly nude with tassels and bikini bottoms.
  • There are two rows of fully naked men with their genitalia and penis's exposed at a fraternity party.
  • Throughout the show, there are some brief crude sexual references that are played for comedy, but are infrequent and passing in tone.

Violence & Gore

  • A dead deer is seen in a forest environment with guts hanging out. Graphic, but camera doesn't linger on it for long.
  • Some infrequent gun violence and brawling with some bloody results occasionally.
  • A man is shot with a rifle from a distance, some blood spray
  • A man is shot by police officers, blood flies out from his back. Moderately graphic, but isn't dwelled upon.
  • A man is struck by a night stick and pinned down by multiple officers and heard screaming in pain.

Profanity

  • Frequent uses of "fuck" & "shit" in most episodes, including the infrequent usage of the word "cunt" coupled with some milder profanity like "cocksucker", "bitch", "dick", "ass", "damn" & "hell". Slurs such as "faggot" & "nigga" are used as well.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • People smoke weed throughout each episode
  • Two of the main characters are drug dealers, though their dealing is mostly only referred to with the exception of an episode involving an exchange of "goods".
  • Constant drinking in most episodes

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Atlanta, in later seasons, features more absurdist and surreal sequences, some of which feature disturbing imagery, often tied to racial tension, with some very brief jumpscares. As a result, some scenes may be hard to watch for some viewers.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Violence & Gore

  • There is a murder-suicide between two characters with a shotgun in one episode. Some blood and gore is present.
  • In Season 2's premiere, a brief scene of events are presented to the audience; a man shoots a teenager in a car (shot from a distance, no blood), a man brawls with a doctor, beats a flamingo to death (no blood), and eats another man's face off (covered by camera angle, no gore, some blood). All comedic.
  • A character is suffocated and is seen struggling until they die in an assisted suicide attempt. Comedic but very disturbing.
  • A character shoots himself in the head, we see brief blood spray, and as he falls into a pool, blood surrounds him.
  • A man is brutally beaten with a stale piece of bread and we see some blood and injury detail. Comedic, but still violent.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A scene involving a mentally disturbed man who is beaten and pinned by multiple officers, and the man can be heard screaming in pain. This may be disturbing to some.
  • In season 2 there is a very unsettling and creepy episode that is longer than most others, and without commercials, which makes it feel more scary.
  • The beginning of season 3 tells a story about a young black child experiencing modern day slavery. The whole episode is unsettling and a bit hard to watch at times and even more so considering it's based on a true story.
