On My Block (Netflix)

On My Block is a “coming of age” comedy following four friends in Los Angeles. I thought it would be full of angsty teenagers complaining about things that teenagers complain about but I was pleasantly surprised. These are pretty mature 14-year-old children. They endure literal life or death situations, discuss the effects of deportation, navigate through high school dealing with gang violence and sprinkle some love in there too. Season 1 ends with a pretty heavy cliffhanger but it has been renewed for season 2 so looks like we’ll get to see how things turn out.
