American Vandal

This series is exactly what it appears to be- a mockumentary of all the "True Crime" documentaries out there- while at the same time building its own story and characters that you grow to love and root for. There were moments when I forgot I was watching fiction and genuinely wanted to scream at idiotic authority figures and the overall injustice represented on screen. Those were only a few moments, though. For the most part I laughed at the exaggerated high school drama.

American Vandal was very well-written, well-acted, and well-constructed. It even begins to pick up a moral of its own, and you come away not only with an amazing new comedy, but with a deep truth about how preconceived notions and judgments of a person can have lasting impacts on a person's life, especially a young one.

The subject matter may be silly, but its wrapped in a well constructed documentary that holds your interest. The suspense and drama is alluring. If the trailer appeals to you, then it only gets better upon watching. The genre is "teen show/documentary", as described by Netflix, and it delivers to that demographic pretty well. I'm not into teen shows, but I can appreciate how it emulates popular crime docs of recent years. It not only recalls the crime, but takes you on a journey of investigation. A mastery of the genre.

American Vandal Season 1 and 2 is some of the best writing, or some of the best content on Netflix period.

I was amazed how well the show handles these tonal shifts and takes such an unbelievably funny and out there concept and injects it this thrilling and truly engaging narrative. Besides the excellent writing, the show has characters that are memorable and feel human. Even though their dialogue is often a little over the top, they speak and act like real teenagers would. The slang is correct, the little nuances and dynamics are all spot on.

I truly believe American Vandal is along with Freaks and Geeks one of the best coming of age television shows that we have at the moment. I think its kind of genius what the director and creator Tony Yacenda and Dan Perrault have pulled off here. Truly original and creative TV.

Great show and perfect for Netflix. I binged the whole show in 2 days. It has a great cast, you get fresh faces and they are all at least good and they are put in a interesting story, which reveals constant new information and make you doubt your own judgement. And I like the view on young people in high schools (I am not from the US) and also the aspect of social media. It's the right amount of story telling, it doesn 't want you to tell too much and it is open for interpretation.

This show is ridiculous in the best way. I was cracking up and hooked on finding out the mystery in each season. I'm so sad it was cancelled, I was looking forward to more seasons.
