Awkward. review – 2×05: ‘My Love Is A Black Heart’

July 27, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Let the ex-games begin! As Valentine’s Day rolls around, both Jenna (Ashley Rickards) and Tamara (Jillian Rose Reed) ponder their status in the hearts of their former lovers. After a frustrating episode last week, can the love holiday rescue everyone’s favourite sarcastic high schooler?

Awkward. review – 2×04: “Are You There God? It’s Me, Jenna”

July 20, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

After last week’s triangle take-over, Awkward. dials back the Jake (Brett Davern) vs Matty (Beau Mirchoff) drama to refocus on Jenna (Ashley Rickards). Does the show rediscover its mojo?

Awkward. review 2×03 – ‘Three’s A Crowd’

July 13, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

The time we’ve all feared arrives in episode three of Awkward.‘s second season: we hit saturation point on the whole Jenna (Ashley Rickards), Jake (Brett Davern) and Matty (Beau Mirchoff) love triangle. The result is not only not pretty, it’s not very funny.

Awkward. review – 2×02: ‘Sex, Lies And The Sanctuary’

July 6, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Week two of Awkward. finds everyone in a panic as news that a tape of the Sanctuary, the “petri dish” hang-out for drugs and fornication at the school, is about to go public. And now everyone’s secrets are about to be revealed.

Awkward. review – 2×01: ‘Resolutions’

June 29, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Ah the sweetness of summer is definitely upon us. My #4 favourite show of last year (the only comedy on the list, FYI) has returned with fresh episodes. And what’s that sound, you ask? Why it’s cheerleading beyotch Sadie (Molly Tarlov) celebrating our return with a dismissively condescending “You’re welcome.”

Oh, Awkward., I’ve missed you so much.
