Awkward. review – 3×15 / 3×16: ‘A Very Special Episode Of Awkward.’ / ‘Less Than Hero’

November 20, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

Awkward. opts for a double dose detailing the final stages of Jenna Hamilton’s (Ashley Rickards) downward spiral, but has the damage she’s created doomed her recovery?

Awkward. review – 3×14: ‘The Bad Seed’

November 13, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

Will the real Jenna Hamilton (Ashley Rickards) please stand up…and put out the joint? Awkward.‘s protagonist has gone into full-on despicable territory in a realistic, albeit non-entertaining fashion.

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 – 3×10: ‘Redefining Jenna’

June 12, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

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 – 3×05: ‘Indecent Exposure’

May 8, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

Courtesy of MTV

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.

Awkward. review – 3×04: ‘Let’s Talk About Sex’

May 2, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

Courtesy of MTV

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?
