Netflix released a new series on its streaming platform: American Vandal. The series is a satire comedy that takes cues from many true-crime drama television shows. One of the most notable shows that American Vandal imitates is another hit Netflix series that took the country by storm: Making a Murderer. The streaming service clearly wanted to imitate the success of Making a Murderer while also adding a new spin on it with its satire comedy element that is entirely scripted.

American Vandal, which is currently at a 96% on Rotten Tomatoes, is a story about high school Senior, Dylan Maxwell, accused of vandalizing twenty-seven cars in his high school’s staff parking lot. The vandalization included a slashed tire and twenty-seven penises graffitied on each car. The show spans eight episodes trying to clear Dylan’s name and solve the mystery of who the true vandal is. High School Sophomore’s Peter (Tyler Alvarez) and Sam (Griffin Gluck) document the story and the series goes viral.

With a ludicrous plotline like this, you find yourself getting heavily invested in these characters and begin to truly care about the outcome of the show. Showrunners Dan Perrault and Tony Yacenda created a surprisingly addictive show that rivals actual true-crime series with much greater jeopardy then phallically shaped graffiti.

In the last episode, Dylan is finally found to be innocent after having a clear alibi. When he arrives at an after-prom party to watch the show for the first time, he sees how his classmates truly feel about him. The message is clear, don’t judge a book by its cover and that’s exactly what they did. His antics throughout his high school career very much influenced the reasoning for a number of accusations that were thrown his way.

The show ends without a definitive answer to who vandalized the cars. The creators of the show told EW that this was intentional and “more often then not you get some ambiguity at the end” of the shows that they are spoofing. With this ambiguity, it is clear that the story of American Vandal is not over. It is just a matter of time Netflix announces a season 2 and we get a new crime to solve.
