The Craziest Fall Off Ever?
Hey y’all. So back in the day I watched all American when it was still pretty new and was airing on the CW. But if I remember correctly I stopped watching after Coop got shot. All the BLM and Activism in the show was so forced (which I understand is them trying to show they’re apart of the fight, but the way they did it to me was superbly corny and cringe.)
Anyways, I decided after all these years out of Boredom I would catch up on Netflix and I just finished S6 E13 “Victory Lap”.
This feels like the true ending to the show for me. I started watching the other two episodes after and genuinely could care less. I saw some TikTok’s and a few clips of season 7 and the new season and….i just feel like Taye Diggs and Daniel Ezra getting bored of the show ruined the entire show for me as they both exited and their stories never truly finished… The Billy Baker death in my opinion was the start of the downfall of the show, and was extremely forced and easy to catch, and I understand the suddenness was supposed to affect the viewers and hit close to home…but why did they have to drag out so many storylines over the next few seasons? Miko should’ve lasted a few episodes max, it’s crazy that she stabs Patience then disappears for a whole season until Coop “somehow” saves the day. Typical Olivia and Spencer “wow we can’t be together, it’s not right, let’s fight over random stuff” . Only redeeming thing I enjoyed was seeing Asher redeem himself in a sense. But everything else about this show for me has tanked massively in quality. And the fact that they’re trying to bait people back in with guest appearances? I don’t care about some random new generation of kids in Crenshaw. I want to see Spencer and his NFL success. Him paying it back to his family and friends after all he went through.
Instead, I feel like we are forced to watch this show drag its name through the dust with these new characters I have 0 care for and 0 need to even want to watch.
IMO, the show should’ve ended after Spencer made the draft. Just a take. What do you guys think? Sorry for the essay but I just wanted to air out my feelings. I don’t think I could force myself to watch season 7 or even 8 unless I watch the guest episodes.
