Tanner Stransky

Jul 18, 2011

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

Gosh, that's a lot of derivative teen-movie influences for a half-hour show. Yet the swift pacing and simplicity of Awkward remind us that awkwardness can still be freshly painful and funny material, so long as there are still teenagers and high schools. Read full review

Dorothy Rabinowitz

A series about a high-school girl that's neither maudlin nor alarming nor conceived with intent to preach or to shock. It's further distinguished by its focus on entirely recognizable teenage pains, as endured by an entirely recognizable teenager, Jenna. Its other distinction: strong echoes of an older kind of storytelling, the sort whose characters grow and acquire depth. Read full review

Aside from the gratuitous sexual stuff, Awkward is a really good, funny, fun show. Read full review

The life of an everyday American high school girl has rarely been rendered with such sly and funny precision as it is in MTV's aptly named Awkward. Read full review

Ellen Gray

Jul 19, 2011

Jenna being actually pretty adorable. And so is Awkward, which, like "Glee," deals gently and semicomically with issues of sexuality and bullying but never really draws blood. Read full review

Brian Lowry

Jul 19, 2011

While the premise is refreshingly gimmick-free compared with "RJ Berger" or "Teen Wolf," the situations aren't compelling enough to make this much more than a latter-day "Doogie Howser, M.D." with a gender switch. Read full review

I think that this is a very touching show, with an almost perfect plot, at the beginning it's slow and repetitive, but when it get its showdown, can bring you a lot of feelings.

one of the best MTV shows!!!

Didn't expect much from an MTV Show, but the opening episodes have definitely been a pleasant surprise. The actors in this are easier to relate to than other teenage focused shows like 90210 or the like. Hopefully this show can continue to stay fresh.

A série não é, de todo, inovadora, mas também não é aborrecida. Dá para ver facilmente, pois os episódios não são muito exaustivos. O elenco não é do melhor, mas também os momentos divertidos que testemunhamos tornam esta produção razoável.

This show demonstrated so much promise in its first few episodes. Then it quickly went into the garbage. Instead of continuing as a frank look at life as an "invisible" HS student, disenfranchised from the HS cheerleader/popular crowd dream, it quickly devolved into conventional HSThis show demonstrated so much promise in its first few episodes. Then it quickly went into the garbage. Instead of continuing as a frank look at life as an "invisible" HS student, disenfranchised from the HS cheerleader/popular crowd dream, it quickly devolved into conventional HS programming. Jenna went from being a popular boy's secret "socially beneath him" fling to being fought over by the two most popular guys in her class. It might as well have been a Chuck Lorre sitcom at that point. So sad. I'm not sure I've ever seen a show fall so hard, so quickly.… Expand

This show is really stupid and boring I wish they wouldn't have any more seasons of this. The plot and dialogue are horrible and the characters and boring and very non memorable. This show has no real plot and should have no real place on tv.
