This All American review contains spoilers for Season 3, Episode 3.
What All American does really well is bridge real moments and real feelings together with their characters. In my last review, I mentioned how we don’t often see male TV characters exploring their mental health on screen. In this week’s episode, “High Expectations,” Layla (Greta Onieogou) and Spencer (Daniel Ezra) discuss the option of Spencer trying out therapy, in particular a therapist who specializes in people in sports. It’s a powerful moment, and I love how Spencer is open to the idea of trying out therapy. I really hope we see more of this mental health journey explored in the coming episodes. Pop culture is one of the ways we can slowly break those barriers, not to mention the exploration of a character’s mental health allows them to discover more of themselves.
In conclusion: Mental health is important,...
