All American was a show recommended to me by countless friends of mine.Season one of All American came out towards the end of 2018. The show was mainly directed by David McWhirter. The main character of the show is Daniel Ezra who plays Spencer James, a star football player. He is a student at South Crenshaw High, but when the coach from Beverly Hills recruits him to join his team he faces multiple real life obstacles. I thought I wouldn't like the show because they do talk a lot about football. I like football but I honestly don't know much about it so it was intriguing. The show ended up being a lot more than just football. The show is based on a true story and it follows the lives of teenagers living in California. The show demonstrates racism and being high or low social class and what people think about you based on what you look like and where you come from. The show was a great reminder not to judge a book by its cover.
