December 17, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

After a rocky middle section, Awkward.‘s third season finale pulls off a dazzling finish as Jenna (Ashley Rickards) – and the show – come full circle.

Awkward. review – 3×19: ‘Karmic Relief’

December 11, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

Awkward.‘s super-sized third season delivers the series’ first supersized episode in the form of ‘Karmic Relief’, an hour of wit and cat iconography that’s ultimately overshadowed by a hugely predictable non-twist ending.

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!’

October 22, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

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 – 3×03: ‘A Little Less Conversation’

April 24, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

Courtesy of MTV

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 – 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!
