American Vandal (TV Series) The Dump (2018) User Reviews

Blown Away

[ct2323 · 10/10 · 17 September 2018]

Without giving anything away, the last two episodes take a rather dramatic turn. It all culminates with a remarkably impactful finale that's one of the truest social commentaries on the digital generation I've ever seen captured on film.

I almost think the show becomes too serious - but all in all, grateful for the message/warning it teaches. Again, there's never been a show like this in any network! I have no idea what to watch now :/.

Fantastic

[superaggi · 10/10 · 15 September 2018]

This episode was so fantastic to watch. It was intruiging, exciting, funny and very emotional. It has a very important theme that we all have something to learn from. DeMarcus's choice to find his own path was a great scene and the monologue at the end was of high quality. I felt really bad for Kevin, in desperate times, it is easy to connect bond with people. All he wanted was to be real with someone. Really enjoyed the season, was on the edge of the seat through the whole thing. Finger crossed for a season 3

What a way to end a season!

This episode absolutely blew me away! On top of being as good of a season-ender as you could hope for, it swerved into a totally new and unexpected direction, with which it out-black-mirrored some very relevant social issues in a way that felt more realistic, probable and touching than I've ever seen done before.

Hilarious and Thought-provoking

I will definitely miss this clever, hilarious TV show. I love how this season wraps up and I really appreciate how this show examines the role that technology plays in our lives without going full The Circle.

God I love binge

Just thought I check season two since the first season was awesome. Well all of a sudden I was watching "The Dump". Time flew by the shows were so well done. Keep it going guys.

"The Dump" is the best episode in the show

[KadeCaptain · 10/10 · 7 July 2023]

After watching the first season, the show seemed to be a good show with an interesting premise and stylistic genre style but when season two came out, the show became amazing. Especially with the last episode "The Dump"

The episode "The Dump" is the culmination of the previous season worth of episode all wrapped up nicely in a bow. All the characters are given satisfying endings which makes them feel well rounded. The multitude of plot twists really change how you see the characters and makes the show better on a re-watch. The way they presented DeMarcus to the audience in the end was so emotional yet the joke inserted felt so naturally placed and fitted the tone quite well.

The second season is fantastic and "The Dump" is a great way to end it. If you haven't seen the show or even this episode, I can't recommend it enough. I just wish this show got a third season.

Disappointing season 2 ending

[franucke-91256 · 6/10 · 10 October 2018]

I love this show for many reasons, I like how it explores many levels of construction of meaning through different perspectives on the same story. I like how it mocks true crime documentaries, revealing the flaws of a stale format and recycling it to create something entirely new.

Unfortunately, the last episode doesn't fall in line with these standards. I would have liked to thought about the moral of the story myself instead of hearing it from Peter himself through the last ten minutes of the episode. Besides, the moral itself that's shoved in our faces to me feels cheesy and not in line with the irony and dark humor that drives the first seven episodes of the season. I had thought the same thing about the last episode of season 1 and hoped that they would find the right tone for the ending this time. Until the very last second of the episode I was hoping for a huge joke or twist that would turn the whole episode upside down and end it on a sarcastic note, but that didn't happen.

I still love this show and have high hopes for season 3.
