On My Block doesn’t just walk the familiar halls of a high school sitcom; it sprints through the sun-drenched, high-stakes streets of Freeridge, a fictional inner-city Los Angeles neighborhood where the sound of laughter is often punctuated by the distant pop of gunfire. Released in 2018, the first season of this Netflix original carved out a unique space in the YA landscape by treating the lives of marginalized youth with a blend of slapstick humor, deep-seated trauma, and Spielbergian adventure.
On My Block stands out for its authentic representation. From the Spanglish dialogue and the specific family dynamics of a crowded Latinx household to the nuanced portrayal of Afro-Latina identity through Monse, the show feels lived-in. It doesn't sanitize the "block," but it also doesn't define the characters solely by their trauma. They are allowed to be nerdy, horny, weird, and brilliant.
