American Vandal: The greatest true crime documentary you’ve never seen
I remember when the first trailer for the Netflix Original series,
American Vandal, was released. People were sharing it all over Facebook, left and right. It looked super interesting and the fact that everyone thought it was a real documentary at the time was pretty impressive.
But then it came out and nobody watched it.
Everyone I talked to either hasn’t seen the show or hasn’t even heard of it and I honestly can’t understand why.
