All American: Homecoming

The show is bland. There's nothing new, profound, or riveting going on. It's one of those show you can just have playing in the background without feeling like you are missing anything. Firstly, the main characters are not interesting enough/doesn't shine off to keep the interest. A couple of the supporting characters seem more interesting right off the bat I guess it depends on how the show continues. Secondly, the sports choices are just bad. Should've just focused strictly on tennis, baseball wasn't needed. Also a good point to note that they have them playing baseball in the fall (it's a spring sport). Thirdly, it's hard to miss that the show is repeating/re-using storylines that we've already seen on the home show. If the show wants any success it needs to focus on being it's own thing. Build the characters and make them interesting to watch and root for. As of now, the storylines between the adults (Coach Turner, Amara) has been more entertaining which is worrying for a show claimed to be a "college show"

First off, I would say give the show a chance. I watched the original All American and admit I did not like Simone at all. When I heard she was the lead on a spinoff, I thought it was a terrible idea. I'm current with Homecoming and can say that Simone has made great strides as a character. The ensemble cast does a decent job and have their own storylines/arcs. Yes, no one can work through their own personal issues but gives the best advice to other characters which is consistent with the original All American. It's a nice change of pace to an HBCU college campus. I enjoy the show and don't take it too serious. Just my opinion.

With the current season of All American becoming a too cheesy cliche of a post high school world AAHC really wraps it in together. The plot is excellent and allows us to focus on a previous side character and witness her grow and try and focus on surviving college life and a failing long distance relationship.

Alot of the worst reviews seem to be from people bothered the show has Black leads, is focused on an HBCU and has an LBGTQ+ character. The show isn't perfect but isn't it bad. If you have been a fan of All American, you'll appreciate Homecoming as a fan of the world, getting to know what was a small character that became a bigger one in Simone. The issues being addressed in the show are real ones in the struggles of student-athletes, the issues HBCUs are facing with financial and accreditation statuses and inclusion. The details aren't perfect, but it has potential. And i personally appreciate diversity on television.

All American: Homecoming is a drama set in July 2024 at Bringston University in Atlanta, Georgia. Simone is a talented tennis player hailing from the posh city of Beverly Hills, California and Damon is a skilled baseball player from the bustling city of Chicago, Illinois. Both Simone and Damon have decided to compete in college sports at a Historically Black College in Atlanta, Georgia, which has a rich and diverse sporting culture. As they embark on this new journey together, they are bound to face thrilling challenges and exciting opportunities that will help them grow both as athletes and individuals.

One of the things that I appreciate the most about the show is how it captures the essence of the culture it portrays, making it relatable and appealing to those familiar with it. The storytelling is excellent, and it has the power to immerse viewers in the narrative creating a sense of connection between the audience and the characters. If you are someone who resonates with the values and traditions depicted in All American: Homecoming, then I would highly recommend giving this show a watch. You'll find yourself rooting for the characters as they navigate through their personal and professional struggles, and the show's positive message about the power of hard work and determination is truly inspiring. Overall, if you're looking for a show that captures the spirit of American culture and celebrates the resilience of the human spirit, then All American: Homecoming is definitely worth checking out.
