In a very exciting story, the series begins with Billy Becker, who turns a high school student and a footballer named Spencer into his Beverly Hills team, and Grace tries to persuade Spencer to join. Spencer will move with the Billy family to Beverly to join the team and perhaps his life will turn into an exciting story with his friends, family and coach.
The lighter (meaning soapier) material is landing better than the more serious stuff, but that could change once the cast is clicking and the exposition is done.
All American is, regardless, refreshingly Black... The interlocking politics of race, sports, and school is real and has been the subject of numerous documentaries, and this series dramatizes it effectively, if superficially.

Watching "American" is like a class reunion: Comforting and nostalgic, but with a few surprises tucked up its sleeve. It's the kind of show that's easy to cheer for, even if its football team isn't that great yet.
