There is a reason Awkward. Keeps coming up in conversation. Awkward. Gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. An irreverent look at the conflict, chaos and humor that defines teenage life through the eyes of 15-year-old Jenna Hamilton whose life begins to change when a simple accident becomes an epic misunderstanding and is blown way out of proportion. Narration in the first-person voice of Jenna's blog posts captures the humor within the struggles and experiences everyone can relate to from their formative years. The chemistry Ashley Rickards and Beau Mirchoff bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. Across 5 seasons (2011–2016), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Awkward. Holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Awkward. Is a strong candidate. Viewers who responded to Faking It will find a lot to like here too. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Ashley Rickards anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
