The first season of American Vandal, created by Dan Perrault and Tony Yacenda, became a sleeper hit following its 2017 debut, gaining traction through word of mouth until the case of penis-graffiti artist Dylan Maxwell (played brilliantly by Jimmy Tatro) was all that many TV fans could talk about.

In the end I think the Radian is the best option for anyone looking at Mission Workshop bags who wants a modular option, but unless you plan on swapping out pieces a lot, I'm not personally convinced that it's better than their all-in-one bags like the Rambler and Vandal.

Brought to life by co-creators Tony Yacenda and Dan Perrault, as well as showrunner Dan Lagana, American Vandal is coming to Netflix September 15, and while it may not satisfy your true crime craving like another season of Making A Murderer, it will at least make you laugh while you wait.

On a warm-for-March night, a foursome led by a 226-year-old fledgling fashion designer named Andrew Warren shimmied themselves into an Uber S.U.V. They were heading from a pajama-themed party at the Dolce & Gabbana store on Fifth Avenue to dinner at a new restaurant, Vandal, on the Bowery.

In remarks to Hyperallergic, Robin Whelan, a historian of Vandal North Africa employed at the University of Liverpool, noted: Interestingly, the term in the fourth to early fifth century is used for people from the Roman province of Mauretania — and Afri barbari ("African barbarians") is used for those beyond the frontier by Augustine.

When raves went stateside, Laserium naturally got involved: On September 22008, 230, seventeen years after its Observatory debut, the venerable company would erect an installation at Stranger Than Fiction at Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium, which featured New Yorkers Frankie Bones and Vandal (AKA Peter and Vanessa Daou) and Londoners Baby Ford and Trevor Fung.

American Vandal presents a complex system, down to the number of Y's you put in a "hey" text, and a surprisingly in-depth portrait of multiple characters to sell its thesis: These teenagers are made and unmade by a universal desire for attention and approval, the simple difficulty of even existing among other people.

Despite the fact that American Vandal opened with the spray painting of penises on cars in the faculty parking lot (an inciting incident that seemed more fitting for a three-minute-long Funny Or Die sketch than eight episodes of a Netflix series) the show was able to craft a compelling high school-set mystery.

To get you started, we enlisted the help of the executive chef at VANDAL, Jonathan Kavourakis—who partnered up with chef Chris Santos and the Giant Rosé Picnic and Music Festival Pinknic in New York this weekend to create gourmet picnic baskets for guests—and offer five unique ways to show you how. 303.

Mr. Pinta traced the painting to a plate that was reproduced in the 1900 book "Odyssey of an Ambassador: The Travels of the Marquis de Nointel, 1670-1680" by Albert Vandal, which told the story of the travels of Charles-Marie-François Olier, Marquis de Nointel et d'Angervilliers, Louis XIV's ambassador to the Ottoman Court.

American Vandal approaches high school with empathy and genuine insight, couching it all in a humor that sets it aside from any other show about teens on TV. Watching it feels like going back in time to the most wild day in English class, minus the horrific task of actually having to be a teen again.

The good news is that in this new media ecosystem, there is already a growing category of movies and series, like Big Mouth and American Vandal, that frankly tackle the messy realities of teen life, and — thanks to airing on Netflix and other streaming platforms — are freely accessible to the viewers those stories will be most meaningful to.

Obama originally said they wanted to work on "lifting people up" in their Netflix projects, but apparently, they have to get through at least one dig at Trump's total ineptitude before moving onto whatever uplifting series they make next, like some choose-your-own-adventure show or—who knows—bringing back American Vandal for a third season.

As Peter Maldonado (played by Tyler Alvarez) explains in voice-over, he and Sam Ecklund (Griffin Gluck) created their documentary American Vandal to reopen the case that got high school senior Dylan Maxwell expelled, just as Making a Murderer was created to reopen the case of Brendan Dassey and Steven Avery for the murder of Teresa Halbach in 2005.

Shows like Elite, Sex Education, American Vandal, and others all tackle the world of Gen-Z characters from different angles, and as proven by the example of You — which catapulted a little-known Lifetime show into a memeable pop culture moment simply by placing the show on the Originals roster — Netflix's hold on teen eyes is stronger than ever.

If you're hearing about it for the first time, American Vandal might sound like an extended SNL sketch, but it's so much more than the silly and sometimes gross comedy it appears to be—it's one of best portrayals of teenagers on TV, and is particularly good at representing teens' relationships with social media and the internet.

A new Netflix show from creators Tony Yacenda and Dan Perrault, and showrunner Dan Lagana (Zach Stone Is Gonna Be Famous, an underrated one-season wonder), American Vandal quickly proves to be an effective and often laugh-out-loud funny sendup of the true-crime boom—and, as an added bonus, it's also a pretty engaging high school drama.

One of the people who heeded his call was Mr. McCarty, also now 22, a student and actor who had been leading a secret life online, posting hateful messages and songs under the alias "Byron De La Vandal," a reference to Byron De La Beckwith, the Ku Klux Klan member who assassinated the civil rights leader Medgar Evers.

It's quiet up here, just the muted swoosh of the cars on the Antrim Road, And every so often the shrill of a far-off alarm or the squeal of brakes; But yesterday some vandal upended the terra-cotta pot of daffodils In our little front garden, that's not even as big, when I consider it, As the double bed I'm lying on.

The second season of "American Vandal," Netflix's smart true crime satire, takes the same basic premise as the first: A high school is turned upside down by a silly prank that doubles as a serious crime, and the subsequent investigation is covered with painstaking detail by fellow students and budding documentarians Peter Maldonado (Tyler Alvarez) and Sam Ecklund (Griffin Gluck).

Still, even as American Vandal is building its fictional case, it's simultaneously satirizing some far deeper ideas — like why we're so interested in true crime and so insistent that it come to a pat "solution" when that's not how real life works, or even the notion that most Netflix series must be padded to fill all the time they have.

But all of his little social lies (pretending to be friends with a popular kid, exaggerating how many beers he drank) threaten his story, and what's most surprising about American Vandal is how much you'll get sucked into this type of teen drama—I did not expect to go into a dick-themed true-crime parody and find myself shipping two characters, but, here we are.

The possibility that Putin might have gained an advantage on the United States 20 years after his assumption of power — that the United States and its allies might be too slow and too brittle and too rules-based to take up arms against a fast-moving vandal — was heavy on the mind of the aging Mueller when he testified about his findings to Congress.

And you can go beyond those to look at, say, the assorted nominations for Black Mirror, or the two directing nominations for Ozark (for some reason), or the various one-off nominations the service snagged for less-heralded programs, like a guest acting nomination for Mindhunter and an editing nomination for One Day at a Time and a writing nom (yes!) for American Vandal.
