Completely original and utterly hilarious

I'm only halfway through season 2 but had to leave this review now.

Let's be honest: Most Netflix series don't have great writing. I often find myself annoyed that people can make good livings churning out such mediocre crap. I'm frequently bored with derivative plots, stories I've seen before but done far, far better. Lost in Space comes to mind, with some of the lamest writing and dumbest science fiction I've ever encountered.

But American Vandal is one of the exceptions. The dialogue is so clever and convincing and the characters are believable. This is a rarity in films or series set in high school. The casting and acting is pitch perfect. It also works as a riveting detective story.

If I were a decision-maker at Netflix, I would give the creators of American Vandal a blank check and free reign to do whatever they want.

score 10/10
