"Sitting down to watch On My Block Season 3 was akin to seeing an old friend, one who’s been gone for a year, but whose return is a sight for sore eyes. The Netflix series is back in full force," says Mae Abdulbaki. "The writing is sharper, the pacing is tighter, and the storyline as equally as heartbreaking as it is filled with shoulder-shaking bursts of comedy." Abdulbaki adds: "On My Block has always been able to balance the teens’ daily life with a season-long mystery waiting to be solved. However, amidst the trips to the pool, outlandish schemes to find Lil’ Ricky, and family drama, the series is quick to remind us that everything is tinged with the very real life situations — gang wars, PTSD, and death, among other things — that shape and affect every facet of their everyday lives. It’s a balancing act that the show pulls off quite well, weaving in and out of comedic situations and into dramatic moments with relative ease."
