All American

3rd season just made me mad. Zero football and just shoving politics down my throat you can get a message across without forcing the hell out of it.

It's your typical smart kid with athletic talent but from a rough black part of town but they're doing it with flair and style. Everything so far is cliche'd to 11 but it's done decently well and the characters seem to be able to halfway act. This should have been way worse than it was and I'll tune in next week and perhaps a few more after that.. 8/10

P.S They even made the cool friendzoned chick at the new school hotter than the one he's interested in just to show us how cliche'd they can be... but again it's all okay

It's like The O.C. collided with Friday Night Lights. It's cliche and cheesy, but it's entertaining. I went in expecting the worst and I enjoyed it.

The first and second seasons were thought-provoking, well-written and you almost believe there is a consultant on staff who lived in S Central LA that gave insight into life there as opposed to the typical Hollywood cliches. The background character studies were in depth for the principle cast and the sub-plot about the family issues made the series very 3-dimensional (although at times typically sappy and predictable as once would expect from a TV series). But in season 3, the show "jumps the shark" and becomes a typical mouthpiece for Hollywood elites, crying for "defund the police" and citing a police "war on our people" (the typical talking-points of the left) and forget about the actual depth of the previous character study. Watch the first 2 seasons...then pretend the rest don't exist.

I was enjoying this show until Season 3. They lost it..so sad :(
