Faking It has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available. Across 3 seasons, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. A 7/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Rita Volk is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. Start it whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

There is a reason Faking It keeps coming up in conversation. The jokes in Faking It land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. A romantic comedy about two best friends who love each other -- in slightly different ways. After numerous failed attempts to become popular, the girls are mistakenly outed as lesbians, which launches them to instant celebrity status. Seduced by their newfound fame, Karma and Amy decide to keep up their romantic ruse. Rita Volk and Katie Stevens lead a cast that never overplays a joke. Across 3 seasons (2014–2016), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. What keeps Faking It from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Faking It respects your intelligence. Viewers who responded to Awkward. Will find a lot to like here too. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Rita Volk's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.

Faking It was cancelled in 2016, created by Dana Goodman and Julia Lea Wolov — and 3 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
