At first the show does feel exactly like what might happen if the creator of a MTV dark comedy and the writers of a Tupac biopic teamed up together to make a show. It’s a combination that at first doesn’t really seem to click, but by the end of the season, On My Block does feel like a world unto itself, a universe with its own rules and logic. Read full review

Earnest, sometimes ungainly, but always funny and appealing. Read full review

On My Block suffers from some stiff writing and amateur performances, but it possess a charm that's hard to resist. Perhaps it's because nothing earth-shattering happens here, and for a story that takes place in the hood, it's a refreshing turnabout. Read full review

As all-over-the-place as On My Block is in tone, I have to acknowledge that the 10-episode first season is reasonably carefully planned out in terms of weaving the disparate storylines toward a finale that certainly will get people talking, or it will get people talking if anybody watches the series at all.

On My Block has the off-center charm and quirky comic rhythms Ms. Iungerich is known for, but it has a problem that’s tied to its setting. ... The shifts from football game high jinks or a character’s apple-bong-toking abuelita to the question of whether to shoot another teenager in the head are disconcerting, to say the least.

Besides what it is doing for representation behind and in front of the camera, the show is very well written and planned out. By having these elements they are already on the road to success. With the added feature of having an amazing cast that all shine in their own way is amazing. I think the humor and heart of this show will live on for many generations… Expand

How did I miss this show? Watched one episode and got hooked and finished the season in a couple of days. Being from outside of the US the LA ghetto's have always intrigued me.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was weary of the acting in the first few episodes. Being all relatively unheard of young actors, and having the dialogue at times feel inorganic made it tough to keep watching. What a pay off. The show builds and what seemed to be inorganic dialogue, merely shaped the unique vernacular of the characters. I was thoroughly impressed with the "side-kicks", sometimes more then the leading characters. Jamal was my favorite character, perhaps because he always seems to be everyone least favorite person, for doing relatively nothing. I loved how he character builds and how he seems to be in another universe in comparison to his four other "family" members. I loved how the show didn't seem to sugar coat what it means to be born into a gang, and how even though everything is pretty PG (maybe PG-13?) you still capture the essence of violence and brokenness.… Expand

This is THE 2018 break-out show!
The performances and writing is amazing. Jasmine is my spirit animal. The ending had me jumping up and down. I sure hope that there is a second season because if there isn't I'm gonna die. EVERYONE READING THIS MUST WATCH THE SHOW

I really wanted to like this series but I just couldn't get into it. It's not realistic or relatable and I grew up in Los Angeles. It moves very slow and you lose interest, I couldn't finish the series.
