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 – 3×09: ‘Reality Check’

June 5, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

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

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

April 24, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

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!)

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’

September 22, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Courtesy of MTV

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!
