IndieWire Steve Greene

It may take a little longer to get there than last time, but this new season becomes a worthy follow-up by not only swapping out one anatomical gag for another, but by filing off some of its goofier edges for another grounded look at the other daily challenges of high school life. Read full review

Maybe it seems like a stretch to call a show about dick jokes and poop one of the most well-crafted and self-aware works to come out of the last few years, but in season two, American Vandal has only continued to surpass expectations. Read full review

It feels like a successful attempt to franchise-ify American Vandal’s peculiar mix of lowbrow comedy, highbrow style, and an ongoing portrait of the American high school as a clash between dueling realities, where the best truths are always fiction. Read full review

American Vandal season 2 is not only more ambitious than its predecessor but shockingly darker and more inventive. Read full review

Emotionally and sociologically, it’s a much more complex story, with a lot of insightful and empathetic things to say about a generation of kids who have grown up with social media as part of their lives. And characters like Kevin, Chloe and school basketball star DeMarcus (Melvin Gregg) come to life in poignant and unexpected ways, even considering the emotional pivot Season One took by the end.

Once you start watching the eight episodes, it's hard not to get hooked on solving the mystery, even if the show lays it on a bit thick when it comes to opining about the impact social media has on young people growing up in a world that allows them--or is that forces them?--to construct online personas to broadcast their every move via smart phones, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube and endless selfies.

By the end, what happened to Dylan Maxwell [in the first season] actually did feel kind of tragic. The second American Vandal, while amusing here and there, isn’t able to do all that. It recycles the same template, but can’t quite convince viewers to invest in everything that transpires at St. Bernardine. Read full review

What's not to love about this series, it is perfect for binge watching. Hoping it gets renewed.

The storyline is very engaging, keeping you hooked right till the end. There's plenty of quirky humour, as could be expected from the first series, but it also touches on a lot of issues facing kids in the modern digital age. There's lots of twists and turns throughout the season to keep you guessing, but they're all linked together in clever yet sensible ways. And finally, in my opinion, the conclusion of the season is far more satisfying than the first - all the facts are laid bare and there is no room for interpretation or doubt. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable watch and I'd highly recommend it to everyone.… Expand

Still solid. American Vandal's 2nd season is going on strong and does not disappoint. In terms of film making (or in this case television making) it's just as strong as the original. Would recommend for fans.

Season two is in no way disappointing it's mostly a irrelevant rehash of season 1 tremendous story . Taking similar plot twists and characters it fails to leave a mark past "haha this is not bad "

A história desta segunda temporada não foi tão boa como a da primeira temporada, mas ainda assim foi muito divertido ver mais um caso de vandalismo (neste caso, foram quatro crimes). O elenco teve uma prestação medíocre, o que fez com que esta sequela perdesse qualidade.

Where Season 1 caught lightning in a bottle, Season 2 fails to catch **** in a cup.
