Awkward. review – 3×01 / 3×02: ‘Cha-Cha-Changes’ / ‘Responsible Irresponsible’

April 17, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

Awkward. is back for a supersized 20 episode third season. After a humbling second season that saw the show land on last year’s Bitch Awards Worst List, can the show rebound from last year’s disastrous season?

Awkward. review – 2×12: ‘The Other Shoe’

MTV’s hit show Awkward. comes to a close after a very uneven second season with a finale episode that not only doesn’t satisfy, but basically wastes our time. It’s time to send creator Lauren Iungerich hate mail!

Awkward. review – 2×11: ‘Once Upon A Blog’

After taking a week off for the excretable MTV Video Awards, the penultimate episode of Awkward.‘s second season finally airs. Unfortunately the episode needs its own ‘do-over’ since it mostly amounts to narrative wheel spinning.

Awkward. review – 2×10: ‘Pick Me, Choose Me, Love Me’

After a rocky start in which the second season of Awkward. focused entirely too much on the love triangle between Jenna (Ashley Rickards), Jake (Brett Davern) and Matty (Beau Mirchoff), the last few episodes have completely rebounded into the heartfelt show that we know and love. Not going to lie, I may have even shed a tear or two.

Awkward. review – 2×09: ‘Homewrecker Hamilton’

The truth about all things love triangle is out for public consumption and the sh*t has more than definitely hit the fan. Unfortunately for Jenna Hamilton (Ashley Rickards) things have gone from bad to worse.

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?
