On My Block: Freeridge

As in the prequel, main characters are Mexican, Black, and Afro-Latino teens living in the fictional town of Freeridge in South Central Los Angeles. The cast is composed of many actors of Latino origin, including Bryana Salaz (Inés), who's of Mexican descent, and Keyla Monterroso Mejia (Gloria), who has Guatemalan roots. Also actors who come from Filipino ancestry such as Ciara Riley Wilson (Demi), and Indian origin actors such as Tenzing Norgay Trainor (Cameron). The female characters are strong and determined. Spanglish dialogue and some Spanish words. Diverse family units are reflected, as are single parents, orphanhood, and widowhood. Characters from the LGBTQ+ community. Almost all writers who developed the show are Black and Latino.

Two girls fight, pulling hair, biting, kicking, grabbing boobs, spitting. The sequence ends up being funny, with some movements from wrestling, and nobody gets hurt. A character is accidentally cut with a razor; no blood seen. Characters are seen using crystals and sage, reading cards, and visiting mediums, although this is more for comedy purposes. One character faints after thinking he has seen his mother's ghost. A character thinks she sees her mom's spirit at the cemetery and talks to her. A shot rings out, but we don't see if someone is injured or dead.

Teenagers flirt and kiss. In one scene, two characters are on a bed kissing; the girl is in her underwear. One boy is bisexual and is attracted to both a boy and a girl. Conversations about "making out," "getting fingered," and sitting on "someone's face," but nothing is shown.

Frequent use of words including "s--t," "bitch," "whore," "t-ts," and "motherf----r," alongside Spanish-language terms like "puta."

Adults drink wine during family dinners. Teens drink alcohol at parties, and young people smoke pot at a concert.
