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.

It's better than anyone could have expected, but a little less than they might have hoped. Go to Full Review

If the new season has a breakout character, it's DeMarcus Tillman (an excellent Melvin Gregg). Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review
Alex Diedrick Uproxx 11/11/2021
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... Go to Full Review

Anh H. @Annhuynh Jul 6 It sooo funny season I ever seen See more Raqib Z 07/19/2023 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. See more London H @Artworks 07/18/2023 Not better than the first season I would say this season is not the best, but it's still entertaining. See more 08/14/2022 Really well put together. Great dark humour, nice mystery, excellent pacing in the production and a genuinely good message in it. See more 03/18/2022 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. See more 03/13/2022 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. See more Read all reviews
