hyped garbage

Excellent adaptation.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

If you watched 'Making a Murderer', and want a lighter version of it, you've got American Vandal. The last episode of American Vandal especially reinforces this. I think the makers could have included more LOL moments, but overall it is an entertaining watch.

Season One"American Vandal" is a spoof of the long form Netflix documentaries such as "Making A Murderer" that focuses on a high school incident where a penis is drawn on each member of the faculties car. Dylan, trouble maker and notorious penis graffiti artist is quickly identified as the perpetrator and is expelled. Two members of the AV club decide to properly investigate his guilt and their documentary becomes a school hit, putting them at odds with the teachers and some pupils, who don't like what the film discovers. The trouble with "American Vandal" is as it's a spoof, you would anticipate it being funny, when really it isn't. There are some minor laughs to be had in the first episode as the magnitude of the dick drawings comes to light, but once that is done, none of the characters (even king idiot Dylan) are drawn broadly enough to generate many laughs. That is not to say that the show isn't compelling. The formula that the show apes is so compelling I was drawn in to watch them all to find out what the truth about the situation was. The performances from the cast are good, earnest and realistic and the plot is actually quite clever, it's just a shame that better comedy writers weren't involved.

I watched the first episode and found it amusing, often. By the end it got rather tiresome, and I was relieved to know that I wouldn't have to hear any more about dicks and childish high school pranks. Enough was enough. I wondered what would come next -- another mockumentary? How could they do that under the title "American Vandal"? I was really shocked to learn that the second episode, in fact the entire series, would prolong the rather tired joke of a "serious investigation" of the dick prank. I bailed. I don't understand how anyone could continue watching.

I love this show.This is the kind of show you binge watch because you want to get to the end and see what happens. It is well thought out show and while am not providing any spoilers, it just did not end the way I anticipated it would end. It left a few questions unanswered which makes me think perhaps there might be a second season. However, that is my opinion and some other person might be satisfied with the ending but for me?I wanted more. Honestly, it is a very enjoyable series.
