Donald Glover chose violence in Season 4 Episode 5 of his award-winning series, “Atlanta,” and as a result, Tyler Perry is trending in the streets of social media.

The episode titled, “Work Ethic,” follows Van’s (Zazie Beetz) chaotic day after she takes a job as an extra on a TV show at Mr. Chocolate Studios.

It didn’t take long to realize “Kirkwood Chocolate,” played by Donald Glover, is an unapologetic parody of entertainment mogul and studio owner, Tyler Perry.

No stone was left “un-thrown” as the episode highlighted every criticism Tyler has received about his productions from the terrible wigs to the absence of a writer’s room.

One viewer tweeted, “This Tyler Perry episode of #AtlantaFX is some of the best television I’ve seen.”

Watch the teaser for the episode below.

Tyler Perry been giving our grandma’s, cousins, aunts & uncles shitty movies & tv shows for over a decade. While what he’s built can be commendable at some point when does artistic integrity become important. This is why I love #Atlantafx pic.twitter.com/ruAjcmdtOq

I think the best thing the Tyler Perry episode of #AtlantaFX did was show a black parent apologizing to their child for a situation turning ugly. One of the biggest generational curses is the black parent's refusal to EVER apologize to their child. No matter how wrong they were

The beauty about Atlanta is that you have no idea what the episodes are going to be, but it doesn't matter, because each one has its own brilliant angles. #AtlantaFX #Atlanta

#AtlantaFX is pointing out how black people would support terrible movies/media just because the creator was black. Let's be honest those Tyler Perry movies are bad

All I wanna know is, did Donald Glover call Tyler Perry in advance to give him a heads up or did Tyler get a surprise Thursday night when everyone started blowing up his phone? #Atlanta
