American Vandal Season 2 Trailer
What happened on Chicken Finger Monday?
Netflix has produced several ground-breakingtrue crime documentaries. They’ve also producedAmerican Vandal, a laugh-out-loud-funny parody of the true crime genre. Season 1 followed high school documentarians Peter Maldonado and Sam Ecklund as they attempted to find out who spray-painted several large dicks on cars in the school parking lot. Now,American Vandalseason 2 has Peter and Sam delving into a new mystery: an incident at a private high school involving a mysterious culprit known only as the Turd Burglar – someone who contaminated lemonade in the cafeteria, leading to a sudden outbreak of…well…just watch the trailer.
Yes, it’s as ridiculous as it sounds. And it also looks incredible.American Vandalseason 1 was remarkable – a series that both mocked and revered the standard trappings of modern day true crime documentaries. The actors all did an excellent job selling making their characters seem like real people in the midst of a true story, not performers acting out a role. Clever writing, sharp editing and genuinely engrossing storytelling helped turn it into one of the best things Netflix ever produced. The season was so well made that I actually encountered several people who thought it was a real documentary, not just a clever parody.
Will lightning strike twice with season 2? I have to admit I’m a bit averse to poop jokes, which seems to be the major factor here. But at the same time,American Vandalseems well aware of how silly this all is, and is leaning into it. “What if the motive is just poop is funny?” someone asks. What if indeed.
The second season starsTyler Alvarez(Peter),Griffin Gluck(Sam),Travis Tope(Kevin),Taylor Dearden(Chloe),Melvin Gregg(DeMarcus) andDeRon Horton(Lou).
