Synopsis
On My Block (2018) is a Netflix coming-of-age comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM. Creator Lauren Iungerich set the story in the toughest corner of South Central Los Angeles, following four lifelong friends — Monse, Ruby, Cesar and Jamal — as they step into high school and discover that the neighborhood has plans of its own.
Cesar (Diego Tinoco) inherits his older brother's gang debts and gets pulled toward a world he wants nothing to do with. Monse (Sierra Capri) is nursing a secret crush and trying to keep the group together. Ruby (Jason Genao) launches one scheme after another, each one louder than the last. The series ran four seasons through 2021 and later expanded into the spin-off Freeridge.
What keeps the show grounded is its refusal to soften the streets or make them a backdrop for easy lessons. Funny and then suddenly not — sometimes within the same scene. Stream all seasons of On My Block online on iFILM.
