On My Block

This is a great show from a writing standpoint, but elevating it further is the talent of the cast. These kids give an acting lesson, with each totally committed to their respective characters, which results in perfect storytelling. The comedy is sensational, and a throwback to witty funny, long before the crude, slapstick comedy thrown at us these days took over. Recommend it to anyone. Brilliant.

Over the pass two days between my classes, work, and meetings I have binge watched the first season of On My Block. I will admittedly say that I wasn't sure that I would fall in love with the show in the first couple of episodes-the acting and comedy seemed a little strained. However, I continued on and I am SO GLAD! This show is very entertaining involving both themes of comedy and drama. I think we can all relate to some of the awkward and enduring highschool/teenage scenes which is what brought me in. What kept me was the real ness and truth of the characters and their lives. Yes there are many light hearted scenes but there are many more that show the hard reality of many teenagers. It shows family drama, gang life, fitting in, and problems with friends and at home. I'm really excited about season 2 and would definitely recommend this show to everyone.

On My Block is one of my favorite Netflix Originals. It is funny, clever, dramatic when it needs to be, and has a very good main cast. Also, something I love about this show is that it's characters all have purposes and most of them are very realistic. The characters are also very likeable, which couldn't hurt the show. Overall, this is a very good show and one of Netflix's better originals.

8.5/10.

After the first episode and getting use to the flow, loved it! I watched the entire season in less than 24 hours. The show beings up some serious and modern topics, but more lite. The show focuses more on friendships.

First season was crazy good but the second season wasn't the best but overall plot 10/10 but the acting 4/10 and that's me being being nice. like i love the idea and how the show flows and the soundtrack but wow no one in this show can act without it being cringy
