An epidemic has rampaged through every nook and cranny of American dialogue, with no sign of ceasing its havoc upon public discourse. Indeed, the malevolent word ‘like’ has infiltrated every other sentence spoken by young adults in today’s new era of conversation, and I am merely here to shine a beacon of awareness upon the matter, not to unwield a vitriolic slew of insults and jeers at those who misuse the filler word. Full disclaimer: in no manner am I attempting to portray myself as ‘woke,’ considering that I once pitchforked these speech irregularities into my daily linguistic habits, far more than those who presently do. And yes, I am fully cognizant that I sound similar to a Gen Xer ripping on every facet of millennials and younger generations, but there is some substance to this argument.

Mockumentary “American Vandal” raises the stakes in its second season, once again following the two high school filmmakers from season one as they are called in to investigate a mysterious figure known only as “The Turd Burglar” – a vandal who terrorizes a private school in Washington through poop-related crimes. Taking a step back from its more character-centric first season and instead choosing to focus more on the vandalism itself, the second season is better in nearly every way. The show manages to present a genuinely fascinating and absorbing mystery, but it doesn’t forget to capitalize on the ridiculousness and humor of its premise – through everything from the occasional fecal jokes to every episode being some sort of pun about poop. Never does this balance feel jarring or disjointed, either. Few shows manage to strike such a balance of humor and intrigue, making “American Vandal” a show uniquely fit for both genre lovers and critics alike — for crappy, it is not. -Joseph Marz
