Awkward. review – 3×12: ‘And Then What Happened?’

October 30, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

After setting up all of the dominoes last week (and subsequently knocking them all down in one move at a surprise 17th birthday party), Awkward. dances around the fall-out for an inspired, if not particularly funny, rift on the telephone game.

Awkward. review – 3×11: ‘Surprise!’

It’s been a few months since we last saw Jenna (Ashley Rickards) and the rest of the Awkward. crew. When last we left off our flawed female protagonist had spent the first half of the third season working up to cheat on her boyfriend with a bland, generic Abercrombie model. Clearly I’m still not ready to accept this development…

Awkward. review – 3×10: ‘Redefining Jenna’

ARGH!!!

It’s mid-season finale time so you know that Awkward. will break out some kind of major event. Unfortunately for us, the events are everything we anticipated – and dreaded – leading to a majorly disappointing episode going into the hiatus.

Awkward. review – 3×09: ‘Reality Check’

Is it possible to find the silver lining in an episode that makes you go “ugh” for 21 minutes? Judging from my reaction to Jenna’s (Ashley Rickards) crush on Collin (Nolan Funk) in ‘Reality Check’, the answer is yes.

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

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. brings back Annoying Jenna (Ashley Rickards) for another round as our protagonist randomly decides to make a stand in another weak episode.
