Awkward. review – 3×08: ‘Rubbed Raw And Reeling’

May 29, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

Here’s an excerpt from my notes for this episode: “Emotional trap.” “Emasculation.” “Bad Mama Jamma.” “Dazzle the crowd.” “OH MY GOD NO.”

Can you guess what the profane tirade concerns?

Awkward. review – 3×05: ‘Indecent Exposure’

May 8, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

Could *gasp* Jenna (Ashley Rickards) and Matty’s (Beau Mirchoff) relationship actually be maturing? If this week’s episode, focusing on the loss of control (in some cases literally) is any indication, then Team Matty has been the right choice the whole time.

May 2, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

It’s meet the parents fun-time as Jenna (Ashley Rickards) and Matty’s (Beau Mirchoff) parents meet each other over less than ideal circumstances. So just how awkward will this be?

Awkward. review – 3×03: ‘A Little Less Conversation’

April 24, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

Courtesy of MTV

Awkward. continues its season three creative resurgence by returning back to basics: exploring the delicate politics of relationships. The key difference here is that nearly every character is given something to do (even Jessica Lu’s Ming!)
