Awkward season 5 review

While we did discuss the possible series finale of “Awkward” earlier this week, we realized that we have not really given it much of its due when it comes to a creative perspective. So did the show accomplish everything that it set itself out to do? We’re a little mixed on that, mostly because of […]

There were some fantastic, very-fun moments at the center of Tuesday night’s new episode of “Awkward.” Take, for example, Lissa being so overprotective of her ex Jake that she wanted to confront Ophelia over him, only for her to be turned around in the process. Also, Matty getting really drunk and blowing up his German exam, […]

After spending so many years in high school, you have to appreciate “Awkward” trying to do things in a little bit more of an adult manner. On this past episode of the show, they ironically did that with a story about something in babysitting that is widely though of as a job mostly for teenagers. […]

“This is not going to end well.” Through the majority of the storylines on “Awkward” season 5 at the moment, we have very little in the way of a sentiment other than this. We’re accompanying these characters on what at times is an emotional journey, and so it does get frustrating here and there watching […]

There have been so many fights between Jenna and Matty on “Awkward” over the years that have come across as petty, silly, and then some. They’ve been easy not to pay too much attention to. However, we don’t know how exactly she comes back from what we saw on Tuesday night’s new episode. We’re coming […]

One of the strange things is how few shows out there have any sort of proper 4th of July episode. Why is that? One of the biggest reasons could just be because shows tend to air from September until May, and with that in mind we don’t really get many opportunities to see a timely […]

Given just how much time “Awkward” loves to dwell on romantic relationships, we rather enjoyed one aspect about Tuesday’s new installment: It actually put the focus on something else important in the friendship between Jenna and Tamara. At the start of the half-hour, it was clear that these two were still on the rocks, and […]

So far this season, “Awkward” has definitely been a little bit of a mixed bag creatively. However, that has changed to a certain degree here in the second half of this season, mostly because of the time jump and giving these characters some room to breathe. For example, we legitimately believed in this episode, perhaps […]

Human. If there is one way to describe the actions of some of the characters on Tuesday night’s new episode of “Awkward,” that would be it. We consider this episode more or less a reminder that these characters, despite graduating from high school, are very much going through some issues. Almost none of the episode […]

We’ve all been down this road before as viewers of “Awkward“: Jenna Hamilton is starting things out with a clean slate, and hoping that the (insert period of time here) will be different than everything that came before. This time around, it’s her after the first year of college in Maine, coming home to Palos […]
