All American season 5 episode 15: Why are fans furious with Spencer?

Spencer, who is usually calm, composed, and methodical in his ways, has been behaving rather strangely lately.

All American Season 5 saw the tragic passing of Coach Billy Baker, played by Taye Diggs. Almost every character on the show was attached to the departed coach and truly missed his presence.

But it seems like Spencer has been a little too affected by this tragedy. He is constantly haunted by the incident and even listens to his dead coach's voicemails. He turned bitter towards his loved ones and treated them like afterthoughts.

While Spencer's friends and family were concerned about him, his obnoxious behavior made fans of the show furious. They called him a total mess.

All American season 5 episode 15: Spencer's behavior angers fans

The latest episode of All American saw Spencer misbehaving with his friends and family. First, he snapped at his own family (which included his mother), then at Coach Kenny, and then at Coop. Baker's death had taken a toll on him and his family realized he needed serious help.

Here is how fans reacted to Spencer's obnoxious behavior:

Fans of the show were annoyed and appalled by Spencer's demeanor, especially when he snapped at his own mother. Also, when the therapist, Dr. Spears tried to help him, Spencer just drove him away.

While most fans were enraged by Spencer's obnoxiousness, many fans were sympathetic towards him. He not only lost his beloved coach but had also broken up with Billy's daughter Olivia a couple of days prior. He was in pain and needed help.

Thankfully, he himself called Dr. Spears and asked for his help. Fans are hoping that the healing process goes well and that good old Spencer returns soon.
