“Now, with Madea behind him — he was fed up with playing her — Perry’s cultural legacy remains complex, ever evolving, and dependent on what he does next. In the short term, that means opening sprawling new studios [in Atlanta that] will serve as the home for an astonishing six new shows, all of which he has written and will direct — part of a major content deal with Viacom. Is he sacrificing quality for quantity? Perry said he was not aspiring to great artistry.” – The New York Times
