All American: Homecoming

If you hear that the show you've been watching is getting cancelled, you'd expect them to wrap it up nicely. They still had loose ends we didn't get to see Simone's chance to win a conference finals trophy or who would get to be with Keisha.

I was quite displeased with the lack of Damon in the show. Just to throw him back into the fold to screw with Lando's mind.

To not see what happened with their Bringston HBCU Sports Museum. What ended up happening with the future of Bringston University considering they were axing sports funding basically across the board. It also towards the end just seemed repetitive like this never ending cycle with their relationships.

I'm interested to see what happens with Season 7 of All American. Since that is also losing their central character.

This show is entertaining enough; however, you can't take it too seriously. The writing is just as bad as the original All American, but the storylines are a bit better (maybe I'm biased because I'm an HBCU grad!). None of the scripts are believable whatsoever... nor at ALL how real people act. If you go into this knowing that it's practically a soap opera, then you can certainly find some entertainment in it! There are so many moments where the acting was so poor, or the line was ridiculously corny, or the dramatic ridiculous tension that you just can't help but laugh. Definitely not my first choice, but okay enough to keep up with.

With the current season of All American becoming a too cheesy cliche of a post high school world AAHC really wraps it in together. The plot is excellent and allows us to focus on a previous side character and witness her grow and try and focus on surviving college life and a failing long distance relationship.

The show is bland. There's nothing new, profound, or riveting going on. It's one of those show you can just have playing in the background without feeling like you are missing anything. Firstly, the main characters are not interesting enough/doesn't shine off to keep the interest. A couple of the supporting characters seem more interesting right off the bat I guess it depends on how the show continues. Secondly, the sports choices are just bad. Should've just focused strictly on tennis, baseball wasn't needed. Also a good point to note that they have them playing baseball in the fall (it's a spring sport). Thirdly, it's hard to miss that the show is repeating/re-using storylines that we've already seen on the home show. If the show wants any success it needs to focus on being it's own thing. Build the characters and make them interesting to watch and root for. As of now, the storylines between the adults (Coach Turner, Amara) has been more entertaining which is worrying for a show claimed to be a "college show"

Mediocre at best. Dry, unrealistic storylines. Too many of the side characters have storylines that take up too much time away from the main character's story. None of the characters are incredibly interesting.
