American Vandal (2017–2018)
6/10
Slightly entertaining, but not sure what to make of it
30 October 2018
This is a crime-satire taking a Making a Murderer-like approach to the crime of vandalizing 20+ teachers' cars with graffited d*icks.

It has an obvious suspect, Dylan, who is perhaps not the prepetrator of these crime but simply a patsy to take the fault, given his track record. This hypotehsis is explored by two kids who would very much like to direct a documentary about the event.

The reason I did not enjoy particularly this show was

  • it is not particularly funny, (has no laugh out loud moments) even if it keeps ridiculing the crime documentary genre throughout the show
  • characters are somewhat cliche (perhaps on purpose)
  • you tend to find out new facts about the "crime" but that does not make it by no means a cliff-hanger driven show, nor was that I point I think
  • although you sometimes sympathize with Dylan (the main suspect) I was not compelled enough to watch this show in full to find out what happens to him
