Fall Finales: All American - Season Five

All American has concluded it's bloated twenty episode fifth season. This is the second twenty episode season for the teen sports drama. Well they are sorta in college now. Finishing a good minute after the spinoff Homecoming, it is strange the parent show (which airs the same night as this series) ran for almost two months longer than the subpar spin-off. Which is yet to be renewed... News on that should be resolved later this week.

However what I feel like is the last season, All American is one of two The CW dramas coming back later this year or early next pending the current writers strike.

This season has been hit and miss. It did have a monster cast change up with OG star, mentor and pivotal character Billy Baker played by Taye Diggs departing around the time Homecoming concluded.

The series has struggled with drawn out storylines, relationship dramas, too many filler episodes and random JJ storylines that never seem to come to a conclusion.


While this is one of the best The CW series, I do think next season will have a smaller episode order, along with an end game insight.

I am not sure what is left for Spencer James played by the dreamy Daniel Ezra to do on screen. Billy Baker's passing was done well, sad, respective and game changing for the series. So should the series take a bow in its next run? 

So the big cliffhanger at the end.... SPOILER ALERTS! There was some serious romance then... for the SPOILER click here. RATED for the Fall Finales coming soon...
