American Vandal is a mock-umentary that parodies every other true crime documentary you’ve ever seen. From interviews to reenactments to dramatic recreations of the crime or suspect alibis, this show has it all.

An FBI agent joins forces with a criminal mastermind to apprehend a number of the FBI’s most wanted. For some reason, the CI has only agreed to work with one specific profiler, with whom he has no apparent connection. As the partners work together, more and more secrets are revealed. Tension is always high and the show never leaves you without a mystery to unravel.

This show barely qualifies as a mystery/crime show. It follows a police precinct, but that’s the end of the resemblance. If you’re looking to guess the culprit before it’s revealed, this show isn’t for you. HOWEVER, this is a great comedy and worth your attention if you ever need a break from your more traditional crime procedurals.
