Sep 16, 2018Boring and up its own butt with cliched content. The whole thing is entirely unrealistic and overly simplified. I realize its a parody, but it isn't as good as the first season. Nor is it as interesting.

Sep 9, 2019Where Season 1 caught lightning in a bottle, Season 2 fails to catch **** in a cup.

The season is less absurdist than its predecessor, and the majority of its characters are less vividly drawn. ... Yet, as before, the mystery is diverting, filled with nifty twists and perfect for bingeing. And, once again, the show’s creators and performers manage to, almost without us noticing it, shift tones and move between moods. What starts out as an ornate scatalogical lark ends like an episode of “Black Mirror,” as produced by a high-school A.V. club.

American Vandal’s second season has bigger ideas than its first, and the turn toward wistfulness in its final episode feels less forced this time around. But apart from Kevin and DeMarcus Tillman (Melvin Gregg), a black star athlete bused into wealthy St Bernadine’s from a poor neighborhood, Hoop Dreams–style, few of its characters are as well-drawn, and the use of more experienced actors--cast members have recurred on Boardwalk Empire, Sweet/Vicious, UnReal, and L.A. Law--robs it of some of the first season’s amateur authenticity.

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.
