Netflix original series American Vandal released its second season on September 14, a year after it’s well received first season. This satirical parody explores the educational disciplinary system and its faults by putting a humorous, mocking spin on how the authority figures in school handle things like pranks.

 The opening episode begins with a recap of the first season and an explanation of why they’ve decided to create another “docu-series” at a different school. With a new scandal as well as new characters, the two documentary creators, Sam Ecklund and Peter Maldonado, played by Griffin Gluck and Tyler Alvarez, respectfully, follow their subjects and expose the issues dealing with educational consequences. Gluck does a pretty good job of playing the awkward but funny half of the duo while Alvarez maintains a stern, serious character throughout the season. They start with the confession of Kevin McClain, played by Travis Trope, who claims he was forced to confess for the crime he didn’t commit by the dean of students at St. Bernadine High School.

 The two are at a new school investigating how almost the entire school ended up with laxatives in their lemonade at lunch, wreaking havoc on the students and their bathrooms. While it’s meant to be funny, the whole scene is just gross. Understandably, the whole season is just one big poop joke, but it just seems like elementary level comedy.

 While the jokes don’t seem to land the same way they did in the first season, the second season of American Vandal is still funny. The season has to do with pranks involving poop, which while it could be seen as immature, that’s the whole point of the show, it isn’t supposed to be mature. American Vandal is a comedy that reminds you not to take everything so seriously and just laugh at the stupid stuff.
