Credit the winning cast, especially Volk, and executive producer Carter Covington's sweet/snarky tone for a half hour viewers won't have to pretend to love.
There’s something hilarious and twisted about outcasts running a school and turning out to be as much idiots as the typically popular kids. Faking It is the real deal.

Faking It is the best comedy on TV right now. It is funny, witty, charming and very hip. It deals with the topics kids face today, in an adult way, so make sure your teenager in mature enough for the show. It is a great show for all ages, if you ask me though. I am in my 40's and I love it! It can be wild and crazy, yet by the end become so charming. The theme of strong friendship and acceptance of all types of people are what this show is all about and that is what this world needs now.

I just started to watch this show because of Gregg and I loved it. There's no words to describe it, it's funny, it's dramatic, it's amazing. Hate Karma, love Amy.

SEASON 1
Beyond the joke, the show’s premise is encouraging: that being gay is no big deal.... The engine driving this show is female friendship, the kind strong enough to get you through even high school. For Amy and Karma, we want that.
Faking It is an odd, interesting, lightly subversive, and potentially offensive concoction from MTV. It’s a twisted comedy that has charm, but also a premise that could be insulting if not handled intelligently.
While the show's premise seems like it could be difficult to maintain, Faking It holds up in two early episodes sent for review.
For Stevens' character, Karma, kissing her best friend, Amy (Volk), is a way --admittedly not the most direct way--of getting closer to Liam, a cute guy (Gregg Sulkin) with commitment issues. For Amy, though, it's more complicated, and that's where Faking It begins to seem less like a joke, as the shift in a relationship stirs up feelings that move her into the "questioning" column of LGBTQ.
Questionable taste aside, there are major narrative issues at work in Faking It that go beyond sustaining the faux relationship between Amy and Karma. Tonally, it can never decide to satirize the type of über-tolerance on display at Hester High—as 21 Jump Street did—or hold it in high esteem.
This show really got me surprised, I had no idea that the "fake" would be so accurate, even if exaggerated. I was expecting some clichéd high-school show, but instead I got this awesomely acted and written show with heartwarming & breaking moments. I can't but recommend.

This show is amazing so far. A lot of people can relate to this as they're going through high school, where being **** is abnormal. That it's ok to be ****. To be honest, I'd love to see Karma end up with Amy somewhere in the end instead of Liam. Looking forward to this season.

Esta série realmente surpreendeu-me. Eu não fazia ideia de que o "falso" ("fake") seria tão bem aplicado numa série, mesmo sendo exagerado. Eu estava à espera de alguma série "teen" bem cliché, mas, em vez disso, eu acabei por ver uma série repleta de momentos reconfortantes e inovadores.

SEASON 1
Like Clueless without the satire or humour. Lowest common denominator. Seriously unintelligent. They might as well be winking at the camera and saying look at us, we believe that the writers gave us super exciting and genre breaking lines to **** from absolute disney duds that's not surprising. Please don't waste your time on this or think that it will in any way help you to explore concepts of sexuality. Watch HBO's Girls or Broad City for intelligent, funny women and real concepts of life.
