Netflix has been trying to shift from the mainstream genre and character representation to the under-represented, minor communities, and unconventional genre. As a global OTT platform, it would be quite unfair if only one particular community is being constantly portrayed. Hence, they introduced many such shows to make the online streaming platform more inclusive. Just like Never Have I Ever, Netflix also launched the high-end content of the marginalized community, On My Block, an American comedy-teen drama series created by Lauren Iungerich, Eddie Gonzalez, and Jeremy Haft. The first season, consisting of ten episodes, was released on Netflix on March 16, 2018, and on April 13, 2018, the series was renewed for a second season and it premiered on March 29, 2019. The third season premiered on March 11, 2020, which was renewed on April 29, 2019. Netflix yet did not make an announcement regarding the fourth season and is understandable that it might get delayed due to the COVID-19 situation.
The official Netflix description goes like this, “In a rough Los Angeles neighborhood, four smart, funny and streetwise teens find their lifelong friendship tested as they begin high school.” The show even won 2018 Teen Choice Awards and got nominated for 2019 Teen Choice Awards. On My Block is a remarkable coming-of-age story about the Black community and the racial and social problems faced by the families and the teen not only in their neighborhood but also outside of their square. With a witty and satirical take on contemporary American life, the characters go through development via adolescence, friendships, crime, loyalty, and life in general. The jokes are subtle and cracked at the right edges, which makes the show even more polished.
