On My Block Season 2 was the entertainment equivalent of a full meal

Vulture

"I get exhausted just thinking about On My Block," Matt Zoller Seitz says of Netflix' coming-of-age series. "The likable Netflix show, which just finished its second season, is stuffed with characterization and incident, and swings ambitiously (though not always seamlessly) between seemingly incompatible modes. Each episode runs a half hour or less but feels longer, though not in a bad way. The music, vernacular, and filmmaking style are of the moment, but its stylistic roots go back much further, to the pre-TV era when people paid to see films that might contain one or more romance subplots, a bunch of slapstick comedy, some ferociously intense moments of melodrama and physical jeopardy, and perhaps a musical number or two, and would come away feeling satisfied — not that they’d seen something 'all over the place,' but rather that they’d had the entertainment equivalent of a full meal comprising many different types of cuisine."
