True-crime series are gaining popularity on TV so, of course, there was bound to be a satire of the genre. "American Vandal" takes a look at the aftermath of various high school pranks. Aspiring student documentarian Peter Maldonado takes it upon himself, with help from friend Sam Ecklund, to investigate the cases and find out exactly who is responsible for the crimes. After looking into vandalism at a public high school, Peter and Sam head to a Catholic school after the cafeteria's lemonade is contaminated with laxatives. In the style of the genre it lampoons, the series leaves viewers wondering who the real perpetrator is until the very end.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

American Vandal trades one type of potty humor for another in an ambitious second season that manages to double down on the explicit gags while subtly addressing serious social issues.

Sam Adams Slate It's better than anyone could have expected, but a little less than they might have hoped. Dec 18, 2018 Full Review Aisha Harris New York Times If the new season has a breakout character, it's DeMarcus Tillman (an excellent Melvin Gregg). Nov 5, 2018 Full Review Rachel Syme The New Republic For all its scatological humor-and there is a lot of that-the new season of American Vandal draws more profound conclusions than the first. Oct 3, 2018 Full Review Alex Diedrick Uproxx It's a hilarious show but also a tense one as the mystery gets deeper and deeper. Season two only builds on season one's success... Nov 11, 2021 Full Review Nathan Mattise Ars Technica I laughed a lot, but I've been thinking even more afterward, thanks to American Vandal. Jul 28, 2021 Full Review Sherin Nicole idobi.com American Vandal is STILL well worth watching and should be talked about. Rated: B Apr 3, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Raqib Z The season 2 is even more amazing than the season 1. Really wish there were more to this show. It really sucks that Netflix cancelled the show after 2 seasons. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/19/23 Full Review London H Not better than the first season I would say this season is not the best, but it's still entertaining. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Really well put together. Great dark humour, nice mystery, excellent pacing in the production and a genuinely good message in it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member My impression of the first season remains unchanged. However, this case seems to be darker and deeper than the first one. Love the last message in the finale and the way things eventually got connected logically though. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member It did all the good things Season 1 did except it was a little bit darker and less satirical than I expected. I was on the edge of my seat, this show passes the time and it does it QUICKLY. One of the best TV shows around. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Season 2 is even better than the first one. Not only it holds your attention from the first minute to last, but also it shocks you with the real identity of the Turd Burglar and brings an interesting life lesson for the generation Z Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
