After the disastrous results of the joke, Sam and Peter, two students, who in order to find out the truth behind the damage of 30 cars of professors, done by a high school student, and the school head accused Dylan Maxwell, a senior in the case, investigate on the matter and follow each small detail to reveal the truth.
Season 2 is more serious, and the "twist" is much more distressing than season 1's. In a show framed by social media, American Vandal makes us question how we consume it.
Though its themes aren't as serious as racism in America, they're still potent and palpable. American Vandal's execution of its mission last season was pretty flawless.
Moments like Peter and Sam having an honest conversation with a fellow 16-year-old kid about the exhaustion of being judged, and living up to pre-conceived, unrealistic standards, are when the show finds its moments of brilliance.
Those who have an affinity for explicit scatological humor may find all this hilarious. Personally, it made me miss the refined sophistication of season one's dick jokes.
Emotionally and sociologically, it's a much more complex story, with a lot of insightful and empathetic things to say about a generation of kids who have grown up with social media as part of their lives.
There's still that delightfully juvenile hook...but there's an attempt at leveling-up that I find admirable. The drawback, again, is that it loses some of that rascal-y playfulness it had the first time around.
It's impressive how many themes it touches on, but it's even more amazing that a show about finding a "Turd Burglar" deftly comments on these issues with such a delicate touch.
