This is a great show that follows the lives of young students dealing with the ups and downs of what we all know get harder with every generation. I think the writing is good and the characters are endearing but as of late this show as well as others I enjoy are using the show to push social and political stands. This is all fine but for me I just want entertainment and not a reminder of everything I am wanting to get away from for 42 mins or so. I know the writers are wanting to express their feelings about real world events and I applaud them for it but please do a documentary or short film about these causes and leave All American to work on story lines that bring people together and not pushing division, I really enjoy the friendships and hardships that each generation has all endured similar situations. I even think back about my high school days and rethink how I could have handled situation differently due to how it was portrayed on the show. Yes some of these topics are way overdue to be worked out, but I don't think using this platform to target any one group of people is the answer. Taking real life travesties to paint a picture of a system wide problem and then calling to cancel them basically is not what is needed in this country right now. There are bad people and good people around the world, there is no one place that are all saints. What I watched tonight was sad but also seemed to be just another Hollywood studio pushing division. The sad part its not only this show I am seeing it on many shows. The way to love each other and to grow stronger as nation is not through division but from understanding. Compassion and learning from past mistakes. Then make better choices moving forward together. Yes I know what the reason behind the writers decision and that this was going to be apart of the show at some point. It seems even the characters are all dividing as well. The earlier seasons were very inspiring and something that gave you a good feeling to watch and a smile to end the day with. I so enjoy the entertainment industry but maybe they should stick to entertaining and not shaping American politics or calling for de-funding the Police force as whole. Especially when surrounded by private security and gates with security surrounding the studios. How about a show on how LA is ok with the ever growing homeless population who are just fine until they are removed from their make shift homes so the Celebrities don't have to deal with it for events like the Oscars. My brother was one of those people that were moved for security and or esthetic reasons. Other than this episode, still one of my favorite shows on television.
