What starts as a fun reminder of just how bankable rags-to-riches stories can be, results in a relevant original series that’s a whole helluva lot of fun--all on its own terms. ... Bre-Z, Logan, and Ezra are all early stand-outs. They’re charming, they listen to each other, and they never lose the intended tone.
All American is an interesting mix of the California-as-utopia teen drama--so many shirtless boys!--and a more nuanced exploration of the intersection between race and class. [5 Oct 2018, p.36]

I loved season one and ready for season 2
I can’t wait to see what happens next this really had me on the edge of my chair wanting more I would watch at least 4 in a day and didn’t want it to end and was mad when it did I can’t wait for season 2 to see what happens in there
Report
Yes, you've seen All American before, but despite its cliches, the first three episodes The CW sent to us in advance deem All American an engrossing, timely and relevant high school drama with loads of potential.
All-American has overtones of NBC’s exemplary Friday Night Lights, but so far is not in its class.
It’s a well-made teen drama pilot that traffics (mildly) in some social issues and ends with a welcome, soapy wallop.
All American really fails to engage above the Barbie Dream House level. The cast is more than decent—Ezra will doubtless be the Next Big Thing among the post-Bieber generation—but the writing is pretty mundane. I found myself longing for the luscious Summer Roberts of The O.C., who once defended wistfully insisted, "I'm not that dumb, I'm just shallow." We'll see if All American viewers will settle for half a loaf.
There’s no spark here, no big moment and most egregiously, no authenticity. There’s a flat phoniness to all the behavior, and a patness to everything.
When I first saw the preview on Netflix for All American I simply skipped over it. It did not seem to be interesting at all, however, on a night that I was trying to get to sleep I decided I'd turn it on, thinking it wasn't interesting enough to hold my attention; I WAS WRONG!! This show is AMAZING!! Without going into detail; just watch it!! I promise you will not be upset. I've binge watched the entire first season TWICE in 7 days, I'm now just waiting for season two to be released.

Absolutely LOOOVE this family show. It shows you the good and bad of reality for some who have to fight to get a better life.

Season 1 is pretty decent; however, the quality goes into free-fall in the second season.
Report
All American was a decent show, but it started progressively getting worse and worse, the last season is a bunch of subtle right-wing propaganda disguised on common day problems, from which it never appears to be any real consequence. This show is a perfect example of the disconnect between TV shows and current American reality
