All American

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

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.

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.

Show started off good and interesting. Then it becomes an annoying soap opera and drags on and on like a bad after school special. Everyone is super depressing and there is rarely any football being played especially season 2. If you're really into pointless drama then this show is perfect for you.

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.
