If you consider yourself a lover of series, on Netflix we find one of those titles that well deserves a chance. Not only do we say it, but also the critics, who give it an almost perfect score. We tell you what it is about.
Beyond the premieres, the main streaming platforms that exist in our country keep hidden treasures in their catalog that, by diving through them, we can find. Although in many cases they are no longer among the first positions of popularity, As a result of the fact that it has been some time since they first came out, that does not mean we should let them pass.
This is the case of American Vandal, a thriller that It premiered in 2018 and which has a total of two seasons of eight episodes. Although critics received it with more than open arms, as demonstrated by the 98% score it received on specialized portals such as Rotten Tomatoes and its Emmy nomination, Netflix decided to discontinue it and not record the third installment. Despite this, it still has a large number of hours of entertainment to give us.
An unusual ‘true crime’
The gender true crime has brought a lot of joy to the streaming sector in recent years. So much so, that Netflix dared to give it an extra boost in American Vandal, but from a perspective that printed large doses of humor. Tyler Alvarez and Sam Ecklund They star Peter Maldonado and Sam Ecklund, respectively. Both are responsible for starting an investigation that aims to clarify who is responsible for having carried out a series of unpleasant graffiti on almost thirty cars.
Although Dylan, another of the protagonists, denies from the first moment his participation in this hooliganism, his fame precedes him and places him at the center of the entire investigation from the first moment. The two previously mentioned protagonists immerse the viewer in an investigation that at certain moments seems real, but is full of winks, script twists and comic situations which ends up becoming addictive.
Research that borders on the impossible
In some way, the team behind this production achieves the difficult mission of maintaining the viewer’s attention during two seasons in which different investigations are carried out that border on the impossible: to the graffiti already mentioned is added a food poisoning that affects all members of the institute and that threatens to break the order of the educational community with an unprecedented impact.
Although, as we have already anticipated, the third season never came to light, Netflix still has the first and second seasons in its catalog. And, given the good reviews received from the specialized public, It is well worth giving it a while to be able to attend one of the proposals on true crime most innovative and fun that we have been able to discover since this genre has become one of the most popular among most series fans.
