I watched the whole season this afternoon and I texted everyone I know telling them to watch it because i am so impressed. I love the originality, and the quirkiness. the acting and the characters are great, there are enough jokes to keep you smiling but without taking away too much of Dylan's sad story.
I found the shift in tone very unique and quite enjoyable. it made me realize how emotionally invested i was in the characters. It started off with this funny, goofy crime, and with a funny, goofy alleged criminal, making you think this is going to be the biggest satire of all crime docs, but eventually, it takes you on a roller coaster of feelings, ultimately bringing you to the harsh reality of our criminal justice system, and with society in general, really.
*i would like to say that i never write reviews because i realize I'm terrible at it, but i liked this show so much that i had to put in my 2 cents*

The subject matter may be silly, but its wrapped in a well constructed documentary that holds your interest. The suspense and drama is alluring. If the trailer appeals to you, then it only gets better upon watching. The genre is "teen show/documentary", as described by Netflix, and it delivers to that demographic pretty well. I'm not into teen shows, but I can appreciate how it emulates popular crime docs of recent years. It not only recalls the crime, but takes you on a journey of investigation. A mastery of the genre.
It's funny and dark at the same time.
Twisted story about a boy ,who love to f*ck people around, end up getting f*ck**d by the whole school.
I don't know if I'd put that right. English's not my first language you see
Dylan is a prankster who upset a lot of people. So, It's so easy to blame him. Easy to think that he deserve it. But Peter feels like there's something more so he makes a documentary.
As the story continue things are getting more and more interesting. It's not a laugh out loud kind of show. It's a grinning and a cringe challenge for me.
Interesting way of painting a gray image of justice system.
each episode is full of surprise.
Edit *** wow I did sound like they paid me to review LOL But I really like it.

This series is exactly what it appears to be- a mockumentary of all the "True Crime" documentaries out there- while at the same time building its own story and characters that you grow to love and root for. There were moments when I forgot I was watching fiction and genuinely wanted to scream at idiotic authority figures and the overall injustice represented on screen. Those were only a few moments, though. For the most part I laughed at the exaggerated high school drama.
American Vandal was very well-written, well-acted, and well-constructed. It even begins to pick up a moral of its own, and you come away not only with an amazing new comedy, but with a deep truth about how preconceived notions and judgments of a person can have lasting impacts on a person's life, especially a young one.

Great show and perfect for Netflix. I binged the whole show in 2 days. It has a great cast, you get fresh faces and they are all at least good and they are put in a interesting story, which reveals constant new information and make you doubt your own judgement. And I like the view on young people in high schools (I am not from the US) and also the aspect of social media. It's the right amount of story telling, it doesn 't want you to tell too much and it is open for interpretation.
