Critic Reviews

Ariana Bacle

Season 5 Review: This season—the show’s fifth--is filled with just as much teen-centric drama as ever, but it’s all more urgent and more compelling thanks to the characters’ impending separation from one another. Read full review

Tanner Stransky

Season 1 Review: She navigates the sharky waters of high school, friends, mean cheerleaders, and cute boys with a snarky voice-over that makes her--and Awkward.--easy to fall in love with. Read full review

Season 3 Review: It understands that high school drama can be as serious as it absurd, and as Jenna and her friends enter their junior year, we can see them slowly starting to wrestle with the real and scary question of where it all goes from here. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Not only are high school horrors pretty universal, even if the specifics change, but I can find a way to fit "Awkward" into a tradition of hyper-literal high school comedies like "Pretty in Pink" or "Heathers" or "Mean Girls" or "Juno" or "The In-Betweeners" (if your taste runs to British TV). It's not as good as any of those, but it's not as bad as "Jawbreaker," which is in the same tradition. Read full review

Season 2 Review: Awkward's writing is sharp enough to keep even those viewers who refuse to go to their reunions laughing. Read full review

Season 2 Review: The relationship plots are less interesting to me than the comedy. Read full review

Season 4 Review: None of the new storylines or characters introduced are taking the series into a more meaningful or funnier direction. Read full review
