I actually really liked OMB but the one thing I truly TRULY hated about it was how they all treated Jamal. He always just seemed like an outsider and I feel like they never took him seriously or even listened to him but would then rush to him to tell him all their problems but couldn’t even take 5 minutes out of their day to listen to what he has to say but what I did like was how in S2 he kind of snapped at the start and got annoyed at them for ignoring him but nothing really changed as the show progressed, honestly him not being friends with them at the end didn’t even upset me....like he clearly deserved way better friends and hopefully in the next season he realises that he deserves more than what his “friends” gave him. Also one other thing that also bothered me was when they all realised Jamal got the money, they all immediately felt like they had a right to some of it when they didn’t actually do anything to deserve it??!! And then Jamal was expected to give it away to help Cesar when Cesar didn’t even help him ??!! And then at the end of the day he has literally nothing even though he worked his ass off trying to solve the puzzles and he even got into money laundering and everything for literally no reason, He’s constantly giving and giving and giving away shit to these kids but none of them ever show even an inch of appreciation for everything he’s done for them, it just felt like a one sided friendship to be honest but I’m sure they’ll be besties again when the next season drops which is so disappointing
THISS! jamal is my fav and i hated watching time and time again him just being disrespected so i just stopped watching to me he was a great character being sideline by a bunch of messy ones which wouldn’t be a problem if they didn’t keep taking shit from him. its like im glad he stopped being friends with them good for him
Yessss. Jamal went through so much just to find the money and Ruby and Monse didn't even believe in him, but when he found the money it's "It's our money now." 😒😒 If Jamal dropped them for that reason I wouldn't even be mad.
I literally got so upset by the way they treated him that I just stopped watching the show :(((( he's like the best character in the show, the one carrying it all
You hit every point except the fact that they spent all three seasons trying to get Caesar out of the gang just for him to become one of the top members 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ like wasn’t that the whole point
Everyone relax we still got a S4. Plus I actually really liked the ending. As it leaves the door open for an interesting storyline in the final season (also I’m pretty sure someone’s gonna bite the dust ☠️)
Yeah the show lost me with that. I like Monse more than most people, but imo Ruby was much more of the heart than Monse. Dude literally took a bullet for his friend and was always there for his people.
@@tariqthomas9090 yeahhh it’s Ruby for me, but also maybeeee Cesar because Monse won’t stay if it’s not for him, but then again he’s somehow the person who hangs with them least
I definitely agree that season 1 was my favourite season. We get introduced to all the characters and see their quirks for the first time PRE TRAUMA( season one wasn’t butterflies and rainbows but they weren’t dealing with constant grief 💀). There was always the threat of the gang and stuff but it was fun seeing them stress over freshman year and not have to worry about all the stuff they do in season 2 and 3. It may also have to do with where I was in my life when it debuted, but season 1 has this certain neighbourhood charm about it that I really love imo.
@@kenzieh8345 right. She came and just tried to run everything. AND came between Cesar and monse. And was basically stringing Ruby along when she knew he liked her.
The actor Brett came out and said why it made sense for Jamal to be on the football. The man Jamal was digging by his self in a football he not weak now. So he not no linebacker but he can do something. He said his friends always did him dirty so why wouldn’t it make sense for Jamal to go to a different space were he is appreciated
I feel like tv shows love to make the main protagonist(s) so frustrating that you wanna rip your hair out. Like Ginny in Ginny and Georgia or Zoey in grownish. The characters aren’t all that relatable imo
Well I have to disagree bc ginny is a little relatable as a teen. She is moody, selfish and self-centered which basically describe many teens. She is just simply immature, that's all. I rlly didn't like ginny tho. In on my block, I think monse, ruby, Jasmine and even ceaser is relatable and we all see how each character struggle with their own identity while also dealing with issues relating to their family life. I personally enjoy Jamal and ruby's character bc they have remained interesting and enjoyable to watch during the seasons. Jasmine's character grew and became more enjoyable, same for ceaser and monse. But I definitely think monse is annoying and reminds me of ginny.
This video reminds me of the misogyny in teen shows fandoms. Monsae is imperfect (same as Caesar) and is the most hated character. Spooky threatened to r*pe Monsae and pressured his little brother to be in a gang in season 1 and now he’s a fan favorite. See the difference in empathy! Idk. I’ve accepted that these characters (with exception of Spooky) are kids. They are supposed to be impulsive, make mistakes and have their quirks. But it just seems like people in general just hate teen girls especially if they aren’t fitting the beauty standards just right.
tbh i didn’t like monsae and caesar for the exact same reasons but you’re 100% right. ppl give monsae far too much shit when teens are messy! they’re conflicted, reactive and not every woman character needs to be this voice of reason. the standard is not the same and it shows how the fans treat monsae compared to the others. tbh i didn’t like anyone but jamal but thats probably bc i didn’t like the show :/
honestly monse deserved sm better ik everyone is always sad for ruby ab olivias death but monse n olivias friendship was something that was rly important and olivias death clearly rly hurt monse and i don’t think the writers showcased monses trauma as much as they should. she honestly suffered sm in season 2 but everyone ignored it bc she’s known for being irritating and a pick me?? makes me so mad :(
I feel like this video validates what a lot of people have been thinking. Season 1 was definitely the best (except the fact they had a whole non-Spanish speaking white girl playing Olivia) and idk if the writers just didn't know what to do after? My friends and I definitely felt similarly about the ending of season 3 like the whole scene searching for Oscar in the park and seeing the body felt so out of place? And also having no idea what actually went down.
@@jenna1903 Well that actually happens a lot usually with white people playing people of color if they can pass as one. The actress can pass as latina because she has the right features and looks like she is latina so its easy for her to fool people. I am latina and I thought she was too until I found out she wasn't I was shocked. I honestly thought she was a white washed latina that can't speak spanish and maybe that's what the producers thought.
My biggest gripe with the 3rd season is that we never found out who lil Ricky is...like is that going to be a piece of the new season? Also Jamal's gf??? I was like she just got that d and went???? Huh???
Season 3 ending might be unlikeable but it's realistic you can't stay friends with the same squad forever sum gotta happen for you guys to split trust me I've felt it first hand.
I don't think it was trash...frustrating is the word I would've used....its a crappy cliff hanger for sure but that's all it was...although the whole season was a convoluted mess😭
Can’t y’all be please relax we still got one more season with an interesting storyline ahead. I’m excited to see if this show will have a different feel and if the stakes will be higher than ever considering the position everyone’s in
My theory on why Jamal is with the footballers: when Monse left in the summer the Caesar stopped being friends with Ruby and Jamal and so when she left again for the private school the guys again stopped being friends, except this time it was Jamal, Ruby AND Jasmine, and Caesar. Caesar stopped coming to school because of the gang and so leaving the other 3 alone. Jasmine and Ruby are now together and i can see Jamal being annoyed or uncomfortable with them being couple-y or Jasmine and Ruby would ditch him all together. And we see the football team kinda respect Jamal after he wins the game so maybe while he, Jamal, is sitting or wandering alone a footballer could bring him to hangout with the team. And idk maybe the footballers bring up his confidence and making Jamal comfortable with playing football or maybe they were like “Hey, wear your or a jersey. You’ve earned it.” Anyways that was super long lmao
What I love about On My Block is probably that it’s the most realistic portrayal of teenagers on television I have ever seen. The characters can be annoying, impulsive, awkward, goofy, and inconsistent but that’s because they are TEENAGERS. Ruby is my favorite as well. Now what I can’t stand is where they took some of the characters. For example, Season One revolved around the gang saving Caesar from the gang (AND IT ACTUALLY WORKED) but guess who jumped right back into it?🙄 Caesar annoys me way more than Monse. Also, I don’t like Jasmine and Ruby together.
Jasmine and Ruby are cute, as friends, but as a couple, it seemed very unnecessary. It seems like the only way they could keep Jasmine, around, is to make her be deeply in love with Ruby, but Jasmine, has so many layers, as far as a character goes, that she could have her own spin-off, and I would be front roll with my popcorn and soda. With making them a couple, it seems to water down Jasmine’s character and make Ruby seem as if he isn’t interesting, enough, on his own.
I don’t really agree with the point of Jamal doing his own purposely. The group forgot about him a lot during season 1. Then only felt the need of him when they thought the money was for the whole group, which it wasn’t. So i seen the break up of the friendship with Jamal from season 1. Jamal and Abuelita carried the season. I hate Cesar as a character.
I really like the show Jamal and Ruby are my fav characters, I don't know. ABUELITA too!!! It makes me have a fun time , even if it has certain weak spots And I like the soundtrack, they put Latin music that isn't necessarily main stream.
This show is the embodiment of trying to save a friendship that isn’t worth saving simply because of history. After the first few episodes it was clear they all hated each other and Monse leaving was the nail in the coffin.
The writers definitely did Jamal dirty always separating him from the group but I guess it helped us get attached to him more…which btw I absolutely believe he and abuela are the best characters. I can’t wait for szn 4 to see how all the characters’ stories end because that szn 3 finale??? I rebuke its existence.
I think its cause they were building up this side story and needed a character to do it. What annoyed me was that Idk get the others involve in it somehow.
The problem I have with on my block is I like the show but hate the characters except jamal and spooky😬 and the last season was a bag of bullshit but there's another one coming so maybe they'll fix 🙃
Ruby is genuinely my favouriteeee character! Unlike the others who did at least once, he didn’t annoy me at all and actually had the most character development and depth.
I totally agree. His character has grew so much and I liked him even more as the seasons progressed. Ruby, Jamal and Jasmine are my favorite. I personally think monse's character grew to some extent, but she is still annoying. I expected them to make ceaser's character much more likeable, but I'm so disappointed on how he have turned out. Barely any character development on his part.
What's really interesting about the ending of szn 3 is that all the characters became what we as the viewers weren't expecting, i really liked that but at the same time it leaves a lot of questions as to what happened during the time Monse was gone and even how the characters developed without her. I want to see those parts of the plots unfold in szn 4.
Funny how everyone found it easy to blame Spooky for eveeeeerything wrong but would also go to him for PROTECTION!! I loved Spooky and Jamin and Jamal.
I think personally Jamal joined the football team since he had nothing left going for him. all he ever focused on was the roller world money and his friends but since both are those are gone and he was probably going through it especially since the friends grew apart he decided to change himself completely and be apart of something that will make him feel like he has that group (aka football)? idk that's my assumption
Okie Im an On My Block fan, and I'll be honest. My favorite season was the first! Felt organic, I liked it a lot. Season three was a bit of a let down for me. Jamal's gf or fling was weird, like they didn't know what to write for him in that season so they just threw that character in there. Idk why Monse and Caesar kept trying to have a relationship when it kept failing. Despite season three being my least favorite, I did like the ending... Its realistic (at least for me) bc I didn't remain friends w those from middle school. It happens a lot, and I was happy for Jamal bc maybe he has friends that actually listen and appreciate him. Im glad Jasmine and Ruby were together, but for the next season- I hope Ruby and Jamal somehow become friends again
i love the society,, i was waiting for a second season for a long ass time and then one day they’re just like sorry no second season LIKE WTF THEY HAD SAID THEY WERE GONNA MAKE A SECOND SEASON IN 2019
Omg sameeee, that show gotta be one of my favourites to rewatch. At this point I just want to see the scripts for season 2 because I’m pretty sure they said that all the writing was finished.
i dont get how it got cancelled. it was def very popular and like how it cancelled due to pandemic. they could’ve delayed it if filming was the problem. i hate netflix for cancelling such good shows only to put out the dumbest and stupidest shows. i loved loveddd the society. leaving the show on a cliffhanger was the worst. atleast they could’ve make one final season to explain things :(
I think Jamal is in the football club because he wanted to make his dad happy but also discovering if it’s want he is meant to be doing. The three seasons , Jamal was mostly focusing on what was happening with the whole treasure adventure and what was happening in the friend group. Jamal maybe had a realization that he actually doesn’t know himself outside being with his friends. Most of the time you could see that he wasn’t taken that seriously causing him to question a lot of things. But also I believe he didn’t get over how the group felt like it was he’s fault that things turned out the way it did. I might be wrong but it kinda makes sense
Also, I think that him being so close to death so many times made the possibility of him dying during football games really insignificant to him, but Idk
Can we talk about the crap that happens to Jamal and ruby are only due to being connected to Cesar and monse. Like they may have been dropped if I got shot in real life, and Def. Not getting all my money.
Season 2 was at least able to maintain your interest despite not being as good as Season 1. I was genuinely interested in watching Season 3 but it was a let down
I knew I would see comments about how Jamal and abuelita carried the show but in my humble opinion I feel everyone brings something to the table. I guess that's the beauty of the show how every character is able to shine .What also made the show for me is the tone let me use Lucifer as an example when Lucifer was still on fox before it's cancellation the way it was shot and acted was amazing there was a certain mystery to it even the lighting on the show was celestial but when it moved to Netflix and I am glad that it did something changed for me not the seasons Netflix made are not good they are really good but that mystery I felt during the earlier seasons . But in the case of OMB it got that right I mean they captured the teenage experience very Well and for that OMB will always be superior for me
I agree, everyone had their part to play that made the show more interesting. I blame the writers for not making ceaser and monse more developed and interesting. It's like they were just there and barely played a part. I rlly enjoyed Jasmine, ruby and Jamal and even spooky. I expected more from ceaser but was disappointed.
I'm shook, I didn't realize Monse got so much hate, she's one of my favorites! Her character definitely feels a little underdeveloped compared to her friends though
I feel like you totally forgot the scene where we meet Jasmine’s dad, and we find out the reason she is the way she is. I confirmed her as being my favorite character after that. Her and Spooky are my favorite characters and it is amazing how this shows gives such important roles to “side characters” and not focus completely on the main ones.
I watched the whole show, but I can't remember anything past the first episode of season 2. I think that's about where it dropped off and became an awful show to watch. I'm also surprised you didnt talk about the girl who died at her quince, but I guess we shouldnt give that actress publicity
@@FormalFilmsProductions the actress is white who played a Hispanic character, it was also revealed later on that shes said some really awful racist stuff
Oh yeah, the third season has a lot of issues. A lot of it is so unfocused and many of the issues between everyone remained unaddressed. Also, as much I love Jamal, his arc was not great. Ruby was the most interesting character and he hardly gets any good material outside of…Jasmine? Caesar fared a little better, but it makes nooo sense that Spooky would just leave him behind. And Monse…well, Monse actually made the right move by leaving.
I actually shipped ruby and jasmine. Once she just talked to him like a person and backed off a little bit, I was there for it. She also was a huge comfort to him after he and (so bad with names) his love interest got shot and died. Their friendship was really nice. Jamal is my second favorite character. I think the other characters I have love/hate relationship with.
Jasmine is literally the best character. Hands down. Everything she says, especially in later seasons, are so amazing, admirable and I resonate with them so hard. I stan my girl Jas ✊🏾
I actually appreciate season 3 ending coz the actors are so much older in real life and it got uncomfortable watching them play highschool freshmen. I hope they do season 4 right and make the show a little better.
I know this is a year later, but I disagree on Jamal being the cause of most of the problems. The real answer is Cesar, he’s caused life problems, friendship problems, and more. The only reason Cuchillos knew about the money is because they’re friends with Cesar, he’s an indirect cause. Cesar gets caught by The Prophets, Jamal and Ruby goes to Spooky to buy him back in the gang to save him, and they tell Spooky the money is Rollerworld’s. Then Spooky says technically it belongs to The Santos and he took it, he then goes and save Cesar, and Spooky gives Cuchillos the money and tells her the truth. Cesar blamed Jamal for all his problems and caused him stress (He spent the whole show trying to save Cesar, overworking himself), talked sh*t about Monse, cheated on her, and caused her stressed, caused Ruby stress, got him shot, traumatized and PTSD from that night, and got Olivia killed (in front of Ruby).
I just wanna ONE THING in season 2 I REALLY LOVED the BROMANCE that just clicked between Caesar and Jamal like it was sooo Funny🤣😂 and Unexpected AND NO ONE TALKS ABOUT IT🙃🤐😑
Yesss Spooky looked fineee in the ending. I wasn't sure why Caesar was upset at Spooky at the end. First you thought he was dead now you're pissed he wants to leave the gang? It didn't make sense to me.
I don’t think the look from ruby was that, I immediately got there was some kind of falling out. They were the last line keeping Caesar from doing whatever he decided to do and if they aren’t rockin then…
I don't like Monse for the simple fact that, if Ruby and Jamal had something going on with them, she'd brush their problems off. But if it were, Cesar then she'd want the guys to be by his side with no questions asked. It's like her life revolved around him.
I 100% agree about s1 being the best and the other seasons being way worse but for me the characters are what really makes the show so it’s a 9/10 for me!!! but I really get the 5-6/10 rating
I loved omb because when it first came out I was a freshman in high school and the last season was when i was senior so I felt like I really grew with the cast and it’s 1 of my fav shows
FAN PREDICTIONS: people say that monse is dreaming about the last scene in season 3. Like she’s so paranoid about leaving she dreams that everything is a disaster back home ‼️Also I think that on my block is a 9/10‼️
I could not get over them constantly blaming Oscar for all their problems when he constantly went out his way to make sure they were safe. When Abuelita thanked him at the end of season 3 I almost friggin cried. It was literally the FIRST time anyone thanked him or show him any appreciation. He got so much shit for Cesar’s bad decision from both his counterparts in the gang and the main group. Spooky took everyone’s shit the whole series then ultimately died over their shit. Smfh. I have such a love/hate relationship with this show.
I wouldn’t want another season but I do want them to show Cesar and fix his life lol, but otherwise it just all makes sense (idk Jamal just decided to not being weird bc it makes thing complicated. He wants a normal hs life, be the son his dad wants, be normal and cool)
Netflix is really trying to bank in the mixed characters claiming their white sides over their “hood” counterparts and they just didn’t need that with OMB
netflix never gets a black girl it’s aways biracial like we can never sit down and watch a black girl she always gotta be half white im not saying we shouldn’t have biracial representation or that biracial girls aren’t black im just saying you won’t tell a white girl that monse is her representation
I 100% agree with your rating and “hot takes” on the show. It got so boring that finishing the season was like pulling teeth and the ending didn’t even make it worth my full time
I feel like I liked the first season so much that when I started the second one I already felt a different vibe from it that I didn't like. And seeing these sort of reviews just confirms my thoughts.
i love ur reviews so i would love to see one of the new netflix show called young royals. its about the swedish prince wilhelm who has to attend an elite school after a scandal, but then falls in love with another guy there, called simon. the show is so pure and the acting was so good, but what i loved the most about it how real everything felt and... authentic.
I really liked S1 and 2, S3 was quite bad because it felt like nothing had consequences. Monse’s mum died, and then what? The writers had some interesting stuff with Selena being super colourist and flaky but uh never mind about that now she’s dead Cesar’s dad returned (then abandons him again) and then what? I agree, the season was super anticlimactic. Kendra and Jamal’s “relationship” went nowhere, and that specifically really bugged me. It kind of enforced the idea that nobody associates with Jamal because they want to, only for personal gain. I get it’s played for comedy but I also feel bad for him :( (Also, Cesar is more annoying than Monse. I understand he has been through a lot, but he is straight devoid of personality. The chase with Latrell in S1 was cool but otherwise he is boring, and he’s basically the main character.)
I definitely agree. I rlly hated how they made ceaser' s character unlikable as the seasons progressed. He was just there and that's it. His whole storyline centerd around him being monse's boyfriend and nothing more.
On My Block was a cute scenario. After a while, the show got pretty repetitive. The only characters that were carrying the show were abuelita and jasmine 🤷🏽♂️
Like as the seasons go on the protagonists are supposed to develop and grow not the opposite. i.e Ceaser fighting against getting involved in the gang activities for two seasons. Literally put the group through the most and then cut to the end of season 3 and he is literally doing what his character was fighting against from the very beginning! Chapter development where? Progression where? And don’t even get me started on Monse

I feel like tv shows love to make the main protagonist(s) so frustrating that you wanna rip your hair out. Like Ginny in Ginny and Georgia or Zoey in grownish. The characters aren’t all that relatable imo
Well I have to disagree bc ginny is a little relatable as a teen. She is moody, selfish and self-centered which basically describe many teens. She is just simply immature, that's all. I rlly didn't like ginny tho.
In on my block, I think monse, ruby, Jasmine and even ceaser is relatable and we all see how each character struggle with their own identity while also dealing with issues relating to their family life. I personally enjoy Jamal and ruby's character bc they have remained interesting and enjoyable to watch during the seasons. Jasmine's character grew and became more enjoyable, same for ceaser and monse. But I definitely think monse is annoying and reminds me of ginny.
This video reminds me of the misogyny in teen shows fandoms. Monsae is imperfect (same as Caesar) and is the most hated character. Spooky threatened to r*pe Monsae and pressured his little brother to be in a gang in season 1 and now he’s a fan favorite. See the difference in empathy! Idk.

tbh i didn’t like monsae and caesar for the exact same reasons but you’re 100% right. ppl give monsae far too much shit when teens are messy! they’re conflicted, reactive and not every woman character needs to be this voice of reason. the standard is not the same and it shows how the fans treat monsae compared to the others. tbh i didn’t like anyone but jamal but thats probably bc i didn’t like the show :/

honestly monse deserved sm better ik everyone is always sad for ruby ab olivias death but monse n olivias friendship was something that was rly important and olivias death clearly rly hurt monse and i don’t think the writers showcased monses trauma as much as they should. she honestly suffered sm in season 2 but everyone ignored it bc she’s known for being irritating and a pick me?? makes me so mad :(
I feel like this video validates what a lot of people have been thinking. Season 1 was definitely the best (except the fact they had a whole non-Spanish speaking white girl playing Olivia) and idk if the writers just didn't know what to do after? My friends and I definitely felt similarly about the ending of season 3 like the whole scene searching for Oscar in the park and seeing the body felt so out of place? And also having no idea what actually went down.
The actress lied to everyone that she was Latina.
she was the worst character, the actor who played her also played another mexican role on a disney show even though she’s not mexican
@@jenna1903 Well that actually happens a lot usually with white people playing people of color if they can pass as one. The actress can pass as latina because she has the right features and looks like she is latina so its easy for her to fool people. I am latina and I thought she was too until I found out she wasn't I was shocked. I honestly thought she was a white washed latina that can't speak spanish and maybe that's what the producers thought.
My biggest gripe with the 3rd season is that we never found out who lil Ricky is...like is that going to be a piece of the new season? Also Jamal's gf??? I was like she just got that d and went???? Huh???
Righ??!
thats all revealed in s4 dw. it was shit but they revealed everything
Season 1 was so good but then it went down hill. The other seasons aren't terrible, but they don't hit the same, and that season 3 ending was trash.
Season 3 ending might be unlikeable but it's realistic you can't stay friends with the same squad forever sum gotta happen for you guys to split trust me I've felt it first hand.
@@splsh7459 i completely agree bc i went thru the same damn thing😭
@@splsh7459 yeah
I don't think it was trash...frustrating is the word I would've used....its a crappy cliff hanger for sure but that's all it was...although the whole season was a convoluted mess😭
Can’t y’all be please relax we still got one more season with an interesting storyline ahead. I’m excited to see if this show will have a different feel and if the stakes will be higher than ever considering the position everyone’s in
My theory on why Jamal is with the footballers: when Monse left in the summer the Caesar stopped being friends with Ruby and Jamal and so when she left again for the private school the guys again stopped being friends, except this time it was Jamal, Ruby AND Jasmine, and Caesar. Caesar stopped coming to school because of the gang and so leaving the other 3 alone. Jasmine and Ruby are now together and i can see Jamal being annoyed or uncomfortable with them being couple-y or Jasmine and Ruby would ditch him all together. And we see the football team kinda respect Jamal after he wins the game so maybe while he, Jamal, is sitting or wandering alone a footballer could bring him to hangout with the team. And idk maybe the footballers bring up his confidence and making Jamal comfortable with playing football or maybe they were like “Hey, wear your or a jersey. You’ve earned it.”
Anyways that was super long lmao
What I love about On My Block is probably that it’s the most realistic portrayal of teenagers on television I have ever seen.
The characters can be annoying, impulsive, awkward, goofy, and inconsistent but that’s because they are TEENAGERS. Ruby is my favorite as well.
Now what I can’t stand is where they took some of the characters. For example, Season One revolved around the gang saving Caesar from the gang (AND IT ACTUALLY WORKED) but guess who jumped right back into it?🙄 Caesar annoys me way more than Monse. Also, I don’t like Jasmine and Ruby together.
THANK YOUUU. I don’t know if it’s cause of how they got together or whatever, they just don’t fit as bf and gf, best friends definitely.
Jasmine and Ruby are cute, as friends, but as a couple, it seemed very unnecessary. It seems like the only way they could keep Jasmine, around, is to make her be deeply in love with Ruby, but Jasmine, has so many layers, as far as a character goes, that she could have her own spin-off, and I would be front roll with my popcorn and soda.
With making them a couple, it seems to water down Jasmine’s character and make Ruby seem as if he isn’t interesting, enough, on his own.
For poor people 🤣🤣 I don't act like this
Funniest moment in season 3 was them selling street chicken I laughed so hard 😭💀
i'm still surprised no one followed up on ruby and jamal because those sandwiches could kill. literally
I don’t really agree with the point of Jamal doing his own purposely. The group forgot about him a lot during season 1. Then only felt the need of him when they thought the money was for the whole group, which it wasn’t. So i seen the break up of the friendship with Jamal from season 1. Jamal and Abuelita carried the season. I hate Cesar as a character.
I really like the show
Jamal and Ruby are my fav characters, I don't know. ABUELITA too!!!
It makes me have a fun time , even if it has certain weak spots
And I like the soundtrack, they put Latin music that isn't necessarily main stream.
This show is the embodiment of trying to save a friendship that isn’t worth saving simply because of history. After the first few episodes it was clear they all hated each other and Monse leaving was the nail in the coffin.
The writers definitely did Jamal dirty always separating him from the group but I guess it helped us get attached to him more…which btw I absolutely believe he and abuela are the best characters. I can’t wait for szn 4 to see how all the characters’ stories end because that szn 3 finale??? I rebuke its existence.
I think its cause they were building up this side story and needed a character to do it. What annoyed me was that Idk get the others involve in it somehow.
The problem I have with on my block is I like the show but hate the characters except jamal and spooky😬 and the last season was a bag of bullshit but there's another one coming so maybe they'll fix 🙃
Jamal and Spooky all the waay!!
I agree, third season was just bad ngl
@@nicenamehere5052 yes it was very mediocre
I hate Jamal too! He’s the comic relief but Ruby’s funny enough and they build on his character well.
How can you like Spooky?
Ruby is genuinely my favouriteeee character! Unlike the others who did at least once, he didn’t annoy me at all and actually had the most character development and depth.
I totally agree. His character has grew so much and I liked him even more as the seasons progressed. Ruby, Jamal and Jasmine are my favorite. I personally think monse's character grew to some extent, but she is still annoying. I expected them to make ceaser's character much more likeable, but I'm so disappointed on how he have turned out. Barely any character development on his part.
Ok jasmine is actually the best. I thought she was just the token annoying friend but she is amazing and funny and is actually really wise.
True, she definitely has become more likeable.
What's really interesting about the ending of szn 3 is that all the characters became what we as the viewers weren't expecting, i really liked that but at the same time it leaves a lot of questions as to what happened during the time Monse was gone and even how the characters developed without her. I want to see those parts of the plots unfold in szn 4.
it’s one of those shows where i love watching it but as soon as i finish it i forget what happened throughout the whole season
Funny how everyone found it easy to blame Spooky for eveeeeerything wrong but would also go to him for PROTECTION!! I loved Spooky and Jamin and Jamal.
I think personally Jamal joined the football team since he had nothing left going for him. all he ever focused on was the roller world money and his friends but since both are those are gone and he was probably going through it especially since the friends grew apart he decided to change himself completely and be apart of something that will make him feel like he has that group (aka football)? idk that's my assumption
Okie Im an On My Block fan, and I'll be honest. My favorite season was the first! Felt organic, I liked it a lot. Season three was a bit of a let down for me. Jamal's gf or fling was weird, like they didn't know what to write for him in that season so they just threw that character in there. Idk why Monse and Caesar kept trying to have a relationship when it kept failing. Despite season three being my least favorite, I did like the ending... Its realistic (at least for me) bc I didn't remain friends w those from middle school. It happens a lot, and I was happy for Jamal bc maybe he has friends that actually listen and appreciate him. Im glad Jasmine and Ruby were together, but for the next season- I hope Ruby and Jamal somehow become friends again
i love the society,, i was waiting for a second season for a long ass time and then one day they’re just like sorry no second season LIKE WTF THEY HAD SAID THEY WERE GONNA MAKE A SECOND SEASON IN 2019
Omg sameeee, that show gotta be one of my favourites to rewatch. At this point I just want to see the scripts for season 2 because I’m pretty sure they said that all the writing was finished.
it got cancelled because of the pandemic
i know i was so sad, i was like BUT WHAT ABOUT GRIZZ AND SAM!!!
i dont get how it got cancelled. it was def very popular and like how it cancelled due to pandemic. they could’ve delayed it if filming was the problem. i hate netflix for cancelling such good shows only to put out the dumbest and stupidest shows. i loved loveddd the society. leaving the show on a cliffhanger was the worst. atleast they could’ve make one final season to explain things :(
@@poppygloria4835 right, they better renew that shit it was literallt so popular and better than half the trash they put out
I was so confused when you said rudy💀
trust me i hated myself the whole time i edited this
I think Jamal is in the football club because he wanted to make his dad happy but also discovering if it’s want he is meant to be doing. The three seasons , Jamal was mostly focusing on what was happening with the whole treasure adventure and what was happening in the friend group. Jamal maybe had a realization that he actually doesn’t know himself outside being with his friends. Most of the time you could see that he wasn’t taken that seriously causing him to question a lot of things. But also I believe he didn’t get over how the group felt like it was he’s fault that things turned out the way it did.
I might be wrong but it kinda makes sense
Also, I think that him being so close to death so many times made the possibility of him dying during football games really insignificant to him, but Idk
Thank god you posted I’m at the bus stop on my way to work and I needed something to watch 😭
Can we talk about the crap that happens to Jamal and ruby are only due to being connected to Cesar and monse. Like they may have been dropped if I got shot in real life, and Def. Not getting all my money.
Season 2 was at least able to maintain your interest despite not being as good as Season 1. I was genuinely interested in watching Season 3 but it was a let down
i think the ending was anti climatic because they didn’t know if they was gonna get a season 4
I knew I would see comments about how Jamal and abuelita carried the show but in my humble opinion I feel everyone brings something to the table. I guess that's the beauty of the show how every character is able to shine .What also made the show for me is the tone let me use Lucifer as an example when Lucifer was still on fox before it's cancellation the way it was shot and acted was amazing there was a certain mystery to it even the lighting on the show was celestial but when it moved to Netflix and I am glad that it did something changed for me not the seasons Netflix made are not good they are really good but that mystery I felt during the earlier seasons . But in the case of OMB it got that right I mean they captured the teenage experience very Well and for that OMB will always be superior for me
I agree, everyone had their part to play that made the show more interesting. I blame the writers for not making ceaser and monse more developed and interesting. It's like they were just there and barely played a part. I rlly enjoyed Jasmine, ruby and Jamal and even spooky. I expected more from ceaser but was disappointed.
I'm shook, I didn't realize Monse got so much hate, she's one of my favorites! Her character definitely feels a little underdeveloped compared to her friends though
I feel like you totally forgot the scene where we meet Jasmine’s dad, and we find out the reason she is the way she is. I confirmed her as being my favorite character after that. Her and Spooky are my favorite characters and it is amazing how this shows gives such important roles to “side characters” and not focus completely on the main ones.
The "be who you areeee" part 😭😭😭
Tbh I never really cared for Cesar and Monse Hahaha Jamal's side story with abuelita in season 1 was the best thing in this show
I agree, ceaser and monse became annoying and uninteresting. I even liked spooky more than ceaser.
I watched the whole show, but I can't remember anything past the first episode of season 2. I think that's about where it dropped off and became an awful show to watch. I'm also surprised you didnt talk about the girl who died at her quince, but I guess we shouldnt give that actress publicity
What happened?
@@FormalFilmsProductions the actress is white who played a Hispanic character, it was also revealed later on that shes said some really awful racist stuff
@@barrieanne2550 boooooooo!
S1 was such a exciting premise, especially the promo with "Changes" DEJ Loaf.
Oh yeah, the third season has a lot of issues.
A lot of it is so unfocused and many of the issues between everyone remained unaddressed. Also, as much I love Jamal, his arc was not great. Ruby was the most interesting character and he hardly gets any good material outside of…Jasmine? Caesar fared a little better, but it makes nooo sense that Spooky would just leave him behind. And Monse…well, Monse actually made the right move by leaving.
I actually shipped ruby and jasmine. Once she just talked to him like a person and backed off a little bit, I was there for it. She also was a huge comfort to him after he and (so bad with names) his love interest got shot and died. Their friendship was really nice.
Jamal is my second favorite character.
I think the other characters I have love/hate relationship with.
I loved season 1 the most
Jasmine is literally the best character. Hands down. Everything she says, especially in later seasons, are so amazing, admirable and I resonate with them so hard. I stan my girl Jas ✊🏾
Season 1 definitely the best season and I honestly just watched 2-3 for Jamal
I actually appreciate season 3 ending coz the actors are so much older in real life and it got uncomfortable watching them play highschool freshmen. I hope they do season 4 right and make the show a little better.
Spoilers: they didn't make it better
we all appreciate spooky staying fine at the end of the show😩🤚🏾
i just really didnt find this show good enough to feel like i should come back to it which i felt kinda bad about
Same. I feel like the concept is interesting but it doesn't really draw me in.
The acting is mediocre and lackluster 🤷🏽♂️
Not the “be who you are” 😭
I know this is a year later, but I disagree on Jamal being the cause of most of the problems. The real answer is Cesar, he’s caused life problems, friendship problems, and more. The only reason Cuchillos knew about the money is because they’re friends with Cesar, he’s an indirect cause. Cesar gets caught by The Prophets, Jamal and Ruby goes to Spooky to buy him back in the gang to save him, and they tell Spooky the money is Rollerworld’s. Then Spooky says technically it belongs to The Santos and he took it, he then goes and save Cesar, and Spooky gives Cuchillos the money and tells her the truth.
Cesar blamed Jamal for all his problems and caused him stress (He spent the whole show trying to save Cesar, overworking himself), talked sh*t about Monse, cheated on her, and caused her stressed, caused Ruby stress, got him shot, traumatized and PTSD from that night, and got Olivia killed (in front of Ruby).
I just wanna ONE THING in season 2 I REALLY LOVED the BROMANCE that just clicked between Caesar and Jamal like it was sooo Funny🤣😂 and Unexpected AND NO ONE TALKS ABOUT IT🙃🤐😑
please talk about Young Royals on netflix!! 🤩
Yesss Spooky looked fineee in the ending. I wasn't sure why Caesar was upset at Spooky at the end. First you thought he was dead now you're pissed he wants to leave the gang? It didn't make sense to me.
Haha I prefer Never Have I Ever and The Babysitters Club as my favorite Netflix originals but On My Block comes in 3rd place for me!
Hi ImuRgency, I like your content. I love watching your videos.
thank youuuu!
I don’t think the look from ruby was that, I immediately got there was some kind of falling out. They were the last line keeping Caesar from doing whatever he decided to do and if they aren’t rockin then…
I don't like Monse for the simple fact that, if Ruby and Jamal had something going on with them, she'd brush their problems off. But if it were, Cesar then she'd want the guys to be by his side with no questions asked. It's like her life revolved around him.
I 100% agree about s1 being the best and the other seasons being way worse but for me the characters are what really makes the show so it’s a 9/10 for me!!! but I really get the 5-6/10 rating
I loved omb because when it first came out I was a freshman in high school and the last season was when i was senior so I felt like I really grew with the cast and it’s 1 of my fav shows
Hey, love the video. Please could you do YOUNG ROYALS if you have the time. It's really good and its only 6 episodes
yessss I was about to comment this
FAN PREDICTIONS: people say that monse is dreaming about the last scene in season 3. Like she’s so paranoid about leaving she dreams that everything is a disaster back home
‼️Also I think that on my block is a 9/10‼️
I liked the finale. If they didn’t get another season I would hate it. But, yes. Jamal definitely carried.
im watching this to find out what happened in the rest of the season cause I got so bored I stopped watching after episode 3 💀
meeee
Me with Elite season 4💀
I could not get over them constantly blaming Oscar for all their problems when he constantly went out his way to make sure they were safe. When Abuelita thanked him at the end of season 3 I almost friggin cried. It was literally the FIRST time anyone thanked him or show him any appreciation. He got so much shit for Cesar’s bad decision from both his counterparts in the gang and the main group. Spooky took everyone’s shit the whole series then ultimately died over their shit. Smfh. I have such a love/hate relationship with this show.
I wouldn’t want another season but I do want them to show Cesar and fix his life lol, but otherwise it just all makes sense (idk Jamal just decided to not being weird bc it makes thing complicated. He wants a normal hs life, be the son his dad wants, be normal and cool)
Season two was my favourite but season one had the best finale
The editor stopped for food today 😭
he doesn't get paid enough to take breaks
@@imuRgency ahhh I see
omb was good but the last season was SHAT
Netflix is really trying to bank in the mixed characters claiming their white sides over their “hood” counterparts and they just didn’t need that with OMB
netflix never gets a black girl it’s aways biracial like we can never sit down and watch a black girl she always gotta be half white
im not saying we shouldn’t have biracial representation or that biracial girls aren’t black im just saying you won’t tell a white girl that monse is her representation
Jamal the only character I rly enjoy fr
Nooooooooo OMB is probably one of my favorite series 😭
I 100% agree with your rating and “hot takes” on the show. It got so boring that finishing the season was like pulling teeth and the ending didn’t even make it worth my full time
This gives big “I don’t like to talk about people but….” Then proceeds to talk shit about everyone energy.
Never made it through season 3 and haven't looked back lol
the part the always got to me was that ruby n olivia were cousins! wtf😭
EXACTLY like mam sir that is a family member 🤨🤚🏾
Wait fr? I thought she was like family friend….
@@Sugarspiceandeverything technically, if I remember, they weren't blood related but she was still his cousin
she was a family friend
@@babybaudelairex ohhhh yeh ur right but it still was a bit weird.
THE BLUE TAPPEEEE BAHAHAHAHA
the ghetto LOL
You need to talk about the show this week because of season four coming out plllzzz
Has anyone seen Young Royals on Netflix? Would love to see you do a video on that show!!!!!
Season 1 was perfection
Review Tiny Pretty Things pleaseeeee
I like On My Block but I appreciate you saying your opinion, I’m all for it 😄👍🏽
I thought this show was well written, and pretty funny. There were some really good lines.
I feel like I liked the first season so much that when I started the second one I already felt a different vibe from it that I didn't like. And seeing these sort of reviews just confirms my thoughts.
if there's anything I can appreciate this show for it's that the actors they casted actually look like high schoolers
i love ur reviews so i would love to see one of the new netflix show called young royals. its about the swedish prince wilhelm who has to attend an elite school after a scandal, but then falls in love with another guy there, called simon. the show is so pure and the acting was so good, but what i loved the most about it how real everything felt and... authentic.
this channel is so underrated
I really liked S1 and 2, S3 was quite bad because it felt like nothing had consequences. Monse’s mum died, and then what? The writers had some interesting stuff with Selena being super colourist and flaky but uh never mind about that now she’s dead
Cesar’s dad returned (then abandons him again) and then what? I agree, the season was super anticlimactic.
Kendra and Jamal’s “relationship” went nowhere, and that specifically really bugged me. It kind of enforced the idea that nobody associates with Jamal because they want to, only for personal gain. I get it’s played for comedy but I also feel bad for him :(
(Also, Cesar is more annoying than Monse. I understand he has been through a lot, but he is straight devoid of personality. The chase with Latrell in S1 was cool but otherwise he is boring, and he’s basically the main character.)
I definitely agree. I rlly hated how they made ceaser' s character unlikable as the seasons progressed. He was just there and that's it. His whole storyline centerd around him being monse's boyfriend and nothing more.
ruby always looks constipated to me. he looks like a volcano abt to go red and just explode all over the place
Please do 'Young Royals', its only 6eps and its really good🥺🌈❤🔥
Praying for a season 2 😭
On My Block was a cute scenario. After a while, the show got pretty repetitive. The only characters that were carrying the show were abuelita and jasmine 🤷🏽♂️
& jamal!!
Like as the seasons go on the protagonists are supposed to develop and grow not the opposite. i.e Ceaser fighting against getting involved in the gang activities for two seasons. Literally put the group through the most and then cut to the end of season 3 and he is literally doing what his character was fighting against from the very beginning! Chapter development where? Progression where? And don’t even get me started on Monse
His name is Ruby babes 😩
Me trying to decide who’s more frustrating: Monse or Ginny Miller?
Imo Ginny
For a fact Ginny there is no comparison Monse is not THAT bad!
Lmao, Monse is annoying at least a few times, but Ginny is annoying for almost the entire show
Two biracial people who think they have it hard😂😂
