Netflix are changing the game, and the true-crime genre has never been in better shape.

Take for example How to Make A Murderer, or The Keepers, or The Jinx (HBO but you get my drift) – they’re pretty much all the rage right now.

So what do you do when you’re ruling the TV roost? You take the piss out of yourself, of course.

Netflix’s new series seems to have plenty of meat to it. The Verge below:

Netflix’s latest original series, American Vandal, is about a high school senior named Dylan Maxwell (Jimmy Tatro), who’s in a bit of a pickle. “This is just not the way I thought things were going to go. I was going to graduate high school, get my degree in engineering,” he says in the trailer’s eerie voiceover. “I know I didn’t do it.”

He’s been accused of vandalism, or more specifically of spray-painting a bunch of dicks on the cars in the school parking lot. Only the well-meaning teen journalist Peter Maldanaldo​ (Tyler Alvarez) can uncover the truth!

Let’s get silly:

Um, so it’s pretty much like Superbad came to life:

Or maybe Jonah Takalua has been hanging around?

The first season of American Vandal hits Netflix on September 15 – ball hairs and all.

Thanks, Ant
