Spencer James is a rising high school football player and A student at South Crenshaw High, but when coach Billy Baker recruits him to join his team in Beverly Hills, Spencer's mother, Grace, and his best friend, Coop, convince him it's an opportunity he has to seize. Forced to move in with Billy and his family to protect his transfer permit to Beverly, Billy's son Jordan, who is also the starting quarterback, is less than thrilled to be sharing his father's attention -- or the team spotlight. While Spencer struggles to find his footing, he makes an unlikely friend in Jordan's sister, who is struggling with her own demons.

3/5

All American is an easily digestible series dealing with real-world issues primarily through a teenage lens, even if it has forgotten its initial purpose.

The kids are pleasant enough, but the scripts they've been handed are a pointless mess.

Still, regardless of bits of bumpy dialogue, stiff acting, and strange editing, All American somehow manages to feel like coming home, and by the [premiere]'s end, it begins to feel as if we never left.

Each season keeps getting better and better

This television series has had its fair share of highs and lows, with moments that feel like pure gold and others that come across as underwhelming. Season one took me on a roller coaster ride, piquing my interest in the show with its character development and intricate storylines. While Spencer's character initially threw me off with his over-the-top behavior, season two offered a different perspective and allowed for growth and redemption. Characters like Olivia, Jordan, and L added depth to the series, but Coop remained a weak link for me. As the series progressed into season three, I found myself falling behind and losing interest. Despite eventually catching up, I felt this season was the weakest link, lacking the engagement I had experienced before. However, season four marked a turning point, reigniting my excitement and setting the stage for a thrilling narrative shift. Season five soared to new heights, becoming the pinnacle of the series. The unexpected turn of events surrounding Billy left me eagerly anticipating the next chapter and the unfolding adventure. However, as the series heads towards its final season, I find myself less captivated. While I continue to follow the storyline, it lacks the gripping allure of earlier seasons, especially since Billy's character is no longer present. In hindsight, the final season may have struggled to maintain the series' initial charm, especially in the absence of Billy. Despite this, I remain committed to seeing the story through to its conclusion, even if it fails to capture my attention as effectively as earlier seasons.

All of the cheap CW writing without any of the charm of Arrow or Riverdale

Jun 2, 2022

Though it still is a bit rocky at points. The show keeps me entertained and sometimes makes me want to watch the next episode. It a good watch and has some characters introduced that aren't that amazing as the previous. This season is still good and I would definitely recommend watching.

its so great I'm so happy he's back home but i still wish they didn't fight.

Dec 6, 2021

The first seasons were great and wonderful heartfelt drama. Third season took a dive into the ground being way too political and just lost its touch. Being a person of color myself, the third season felt like a mockery. Sometimes trying way too hard. And losing the audience in the process. It lost its way.
