- Many girls in string bikinis that stand on the side lines during the football game (including a couple that show a brief side boob from far away), and a couple close up shots of booty shorts of cheerleaders.
- This is a show about football, so the worst of the nudity is cheerleaders In skimpy clothes, and the worst of the sex is brief kissing scenes.

- Discussion of foot fetishes

Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Some of the football games can be intense, as beloved characters are seen in stress and some are injured.
- The show contains a lot of HIGHLY emotional scenes, such as characters dying, and depending on how you feel about them, their deaths are very tear-jerking.
- Some of the flashback scenes featuring Olivia Baker's (Samantha Logan) past as an addict can be upsetting for those who may have had a similar past. One scene in particular that may be triggering and intense for that group of people features Olivia's near-death flashback, as her family is seen in distress trying to help her regain consciousness.
- All American delves into mature themes such as: death, suicide, drug abuse, alcoholism, abuses within college sports, lupus, stalking, racism, sexism and homophobia
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- In Season 2, Spencer gets shot. He is shown lying on the ground, convulsing, blood pooling underneath him. The very next episode has him entering the hospital, and fairly graphic imagery of the wound is shown as he is treated by the doctors. Surprisingly graphic for this show.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
- Olivia Baker (Samantha Logan) has a past as an addict, and is recovering post-rehab at the beginning of the series. There are a couple of episodes that dwell on this, and have flashbacks to her past, including one that showcases a near-death overdose.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- Layla falls into a state of depression later in the series. It's portrayed rather realistically, and can be upsetting and intense for some viewers.
