This is fun and entertaining. I watched it's parent show so I was curious about it. It has potential to be a good show but they need to bring in consultants who played college sports. I never played college baseball, but I played growing up and coached you try baseball for 10 years. It's my favorite sport. Here are the issues I have: (1) College baseball players don't get the attention and press that their football & basketball counterparts do. A high school baseball player turning down a pro contract to play at the college level would never cause a stir. It happens all the time. One of my classmates did so 40 years ago. A high schooler will not go straight to MLB, they will play in the lower minor leagues in a small town. (2) They are newly arrived freshmen which means it is fall. Fall is football season, not baseball or tennis which play in the spring. (3) In episode 3, the team is meeting in the locker room after a game. All the uniforms are clean and no one is sweaty. Baseball infields and warning tracks are red or brown dirt. No one can play a game and leave that clean.

Its not perfect but has potential
skyyvyoo13 March 2022
Alot of the worst reviews seem to be from people bothered the show has Black leads, is focused on an HBCU and has an LBGTQ+ character. The show isn't perfect but isn't it bad. If you have been a fan of All American, you'll appreciate Homecoming as a fan of the world, getting to know what was a small character that became a bigger one in Simone. The issues being addressed in the show are real ones in the struggles of student-athletes, the issues HBCUs are facing with financial and accreditation statuses and inclusion. The details aren't perfect, but it has potential. And i personally appreciate diversity on television.
A slightly better version of the Quad.

Every time I watch an episode I am reminded of the Quad. A story that center's around incoming freshmen that have all the answers while creating the most drama. Sprinkled in is some adults with their own dysfunction. It's even easier when Payton Smith is basically playing the same role he played in the Quad. The only difference is he is an athlete instead of a want to be rapper. It is better than the Quad but I can see it is heading in the same direction that killed the Quad.
Love the show! Please renew

I love the show! The characters are amazing and the storylines are great! Please renew for a new season! The cliff hanger has me wanting more. The show enlightens and educates how HBCUs are amazing. I hope the network renews for another season. I would like to see how the characters navigate through the remaining college years. I would also like to see life after Bringston University. It would be nice to see additional characters added. New freshman. I would like to see mentorship and students enjoy more of college life without so many stressors. Keep the fashions amazing and unique. I also love how administration cares for their students.
A more adult feel to All American
camcammartin8 April 2022
With the current season of All American becoming a too cheesy cliche of a post high school world AAHC really wraps it in together. The plot is excellent and allows us to focus on a previous side character and witness her grow and try and focus on surviving college life and a failing long distance relationship.
Better than expected

First off, I would say give the show a chance. I watched the original All American and admit I did not like Simone at all. When I heard she was the lead on a spinoff, I thought it was a terrible idea. I'm current with Homecoming and can say that Simone has made great strides as a character. The ensemble cast does a decent job and have their own storylines/arcs. Yes, no one can work through their own personal issues but gives the best advice to other characters which is consistent with the original All American. It's a nice change of pace to an HBCU college campus. I enjoy the show and don't take it too serious. Just my opinion.
Cheesy
italianchica-5013516 July 2022
I watch All American and enjoy it so I gave this spinoff a chance. As much as I want to like it, I find myself rolling my eyes every 10 min. It's unrealistic for college kids with real life problems to handle their issues like very mature experienced adults in every episode. Too many kumbaya moments. It's cheesy.
An All American HBCU Spin-off!
francoischristana28 March 2022
This series is a sequel to the first show All American, however it focuses on Simone Hicks and her time at Bringston College. I've always wanted to attend a historically black college or university because, when many colleges and universities refused to accept black students, HBCU accepted them and provided them with a higher education as well as the opportunity to learn about more black leaders and join a sorority or sisterhood. I like how another well-known character, Cam, has been introduced to the series, and how his backstory is being expanded. It's interesting to learn about sports that you don't usually hear about, such as tennis and baseball. I adore JR and Damon's brotherly relationship, I hope they are brothers.
WHO talks like this???
tatumm-7940018 April 2023
This show is entertaining enough; however, you can't take it too seriously. The writing is just as bad as the original All American, but the storylines are a bit better (maybe I'm biased because I'm an HBCU grad!). None of the scripts are believable whatsoever... nor at ALL how real people act. If you go into this knowing that it's practically a soap opera, then you can certainly find some entertainment in it! There are so many moments where the acting was so poor, or the line was ridiculously corny, or the dramatic ridiculous tension that you just can't help but laugh. Definitely not my first choice, but okay enough to keep up with.
Ridiculous

Great show

Just there
Teressa_12 March 2022
The show is bland. There's nothing new, profound, or riveting going on. It's one of those show you can just have playing in the background without feeling like you are missing anything. Firstly, the main characters are not interesting enough/doesn't shine off to keep the interest. A couple of the supporting characters seem more interesting right off the bat I guess it depends on how the show continues. Secondly, the sports choices are just bad. Should've just focused strictly on tennis, baseball wasn't needed. Also a good point to note that they have them playing baseball in the fall (it's a spring sport). Thirdly, it's hard to miss that the show is repeating/re-using storylines that we've already seen on the home show. If the show wants any success it needs to focus on being it's own thing. Build the characters and make them interesting to watch and root for. As of now, the storylines between the adults (Coach Turner, Amara) has been more entertaining which is worrying for a show claimed to be a "college show"
It's a good show

So at first I let was a bit boring and I didn't like it much because I was expecting the regular All American crew to be present (Spencer, Asher, etc.). But I realize that's not what it was but rather a spin off meant to focus on other characters so when I judged it as such I started to like it a lot more. I think POC appreciate it a bit more seeing as though mostly POC attend HBCUs. That might be where the disconnect is with other non POC viewers is that they aren't used to not being represented.
Love it!!

Idk how people don't like this. If you love drama and sports this is perfect. They show equal of both. It's like either we getting a tennis game or baseball game every episode I can't name one episode where I didn't see them playing sports. And their little family dinners is so cute. I feel like this show shows a perfect representation of what college would look like, between the break ups, the friendships fights, the getting together, the two guys wanting the same girl.. and unlike All American it gives us the hbcu experience.. and how we should act and be cautious about because we are black.. from the bomb threat to the cop being racist to the girls.. they handled it so well... I hope we get a season 3.
WHY!

I've been watching All American Homecoming, and to say the least,I'm not thrilled. In Season 2 Episode 2, actor Mitchell Edwards or Cam Watkin says that he lost his football scholarship due to missing curfew because he went to sing/perform with his girlfriend Actor, Netta Walker or Keisha. She then has the audacity to still become upset with him during the argument. Of which he tells her he's been working hours to try get gather money for tuition. I really believe the writers should've made it so Keisha understood where Cam was coming from. How that life change affected him. Yes, Keisha's friend Actor Rhoyle Ivy Kina or Nathaniel shed light and defended Cam. Even though she should've seen this herself and made the right choice to apologize to Cam herself.
Love the show

I actually really enjoy this show & the characters...one of the main things I love about the show is how it shows young black men dealing with problems they have in life & being vulnerable, also them taking in the advice they receive to help with there healing/deal with their problems ...I love the sibling relationship between the brothers & how they won't letting nothing come between, not even their father...most importantly I love all the black representation throughout the show & how they all treat each as family...Simone has grown a lot as a young woman...only thing I need from her now is to be honest with her feelings...I'm hoping for a szn3.
Love it!

LOVE IT SO MUCH
brownsymphony30 June 2022
This show ROCKS! We need more of it tbh. I watched the show "All American" which one of their episodes lead me to watch All American Homecoming series. This brings attention to a lot of things. This also makes people want to go to an HBCU. Because they find out that it exist. Some people don't know these schools exist, & know the history behind it. Great show, & i really hope this gets a second season.
Another Love Story

My favorite show !
aliciareneejohnson7 December 2022
I was unsure how the story line would tie in to all American but writers did a great job. All American Homecoming I feel has the capacity to be it's own stand alone show at this point. It's relatable to people who are apart of the culture the show is telling the stories of. I found myself relating to each character in some way with the storyline an it even draws me into wanting to be apart of it. I myself having a background in acting/improv and it makes me excited about getting back into picking up roles. I really do hope that we get a couple more seasons out of this show I would love to see them as seniors. This is easily my favorite show on television right now.
