I agree a lot of his work is still comedic but in a different way. It's elevated comedy. I wouldn't call Atlanta straight satire - I don't know what the right word for it is but I would put it in the same class as a show like Louie (only comparing in terms of genre, not in terms of Louis CK being a piece of shit obviously). I haven't seen Swarm but based on what people say about it it sounds very in the realm of elevated horror. And Mr & Mrs Smith seems like a comedy but one where Glover is playing a badass deadly sexy cool superspy.

And to be clear none of that's bad. If that's what he wants to do, good for him. Whether it's what I want to see from him doesn't matter a lick. But I do think it points in a very different direction than funnyman whose main goal is to get a laugh.

atlanta is literally satire like definitionally. it's straight from the satyricon. it's menippean in purpose and structure. i also can't imagine watching it and thinking "this man's goal isn't to get a laugh". I haven't seen louie so i can't comment there. swarm is a horror-comedy.

my point is really that the idea that he "doesn't consider comedy as seriously or as much work as drama or as an actual artform" is misplaced at best.
