Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

after reading others reviews it made me happy to know that I wasn't the only girl in my late twenties clearly not in high school anymore, not only watching this show but a fan of it as well lol! Anyways I seriously don't know how anyone watching an episode couldn't love it and relate to the characters or whatever's going on in some type of way. we've all been through high school, growing up and trying to find out what we wanna do with the rest of our lives and the type of person we wanna become. Even with the gazillion other teen drama shows before, none of them had been as realistic and true to the everyday life of young adults/high school teens as Awkward has. I think that's one of the reasons(besides the writing&actors obv) why it's so frigging funny and I'm literally dying while yelling at the TV through every episode cause it's actually believable to the point where you can think back and remember some sort of incident or memory of your own you had too growing up instead of the cookie cutter version of the teens lives your used to seeing on shows of these fairytale lives that always have a happy ending which we all know rarely ever happens and gives people this false sense of reality cause no ones perfect and life is hard which is another reason I love how much of a hot mess each character is in the show haha...def watch!

Next to finding Atlantis and the Loch Ness monster, one of the great Quests in our modern age has been the quest for the zippy, perky, well-written, teen-slash-highschool comedy.Every year we get at least one, sometimes many.T'was ever thus, this trend (believe it or don't) actually goes back to the 60s. And used to have a lot more beach scenes. And someone called Dobie Gillis.The bottom line however remains the same: the two best feature films ever done in this genre were Ferris Bueller and Easy A. (With honorable mention to Mean Girls with the Fantastic Ms Fey).As for the other pretenders, this reviewer has been steadfast in observing the failings of the dozens of other wannabees, even at the risk of encouraging erstwhile fans into monkey-hammering the "not useful" button.And then, out of nowhere, comes this zippy little number offering some of the sharpest writing to grace the small screen in years. If you are a music student, you know that every piece of music has its own beat and cadence. It either works or it does not.Writing is the same. It works or it doesn't. Here the writers know their craft and the episodes are generally fun, frothy, and contain unexpected gems.Great series. Hard candy shell and all.

I was bored and saw this show on Amazon Prime so I gave it a go. I'm in no way uptight about nudity or cursing or sex on TV, but I found a lot of stuff in this show disturbing and sometimes creepy, mostly because they brush it off like it always happens or is expected to happen these days, which isn't true in most cases. They took topless photos of a minor in the locker room and texted them to all the students and even posted poster size topless photos of the girl all over school and other than the girl being embarrassed it was pretty much brushed off as run-of-the-mill bullying, no one even got suspended. In real life people would be doing jail time for that and I'm sure no school staff would allow nude posters to be posted all over. One of the girl's moms hears about a party they're going to and loves the idea so much she buys them a bag of booze, tells them how to get drunk without being sick, and drops them off at the party with a nice story about how she was basically gang raped by seven guys after she passed out when she was their age and lost her panties that night. In one scene there's a bunch of HS kids in a hot tub making out and one girl is asking "who wants to make out with me?! ANYONE??" I went to many parties when I was in HS and never saw anything like that. And yes, I know everyone probably has a HS slut, but usually even those sluts only "dated" a select group of individuals. My point is all these topics on this show just seem glossed over like no big deal, no consequences, no one ever gets into trouble, even for criminal acts. Very weird. Other than that the acting is pretty good, story lines are about average.

I've recently finished seasons 1-3 of "Awkward" & I can honestly say behind the up front, dramatic approach the series brings, it hits home to the majority of young people/adults. The series constantly attempts to remind you of how you should take nothing for granted. During season 3, Jennas breakdown where she lost everyone, by making wrong decision after wrong decision, but it wasn't her fault. Life had cornered her to the point of no longer caring about herself in all ways. I think almost everyone has been in similar position, in one way or another. I don't really know what else to say except that "Awkward" has an outstanding/committed cast, a great developing plot & fantastic depth. Although it's constantly refreshing because it never loses its wit & gloss. P.S. My top 3 favourite characters in no order are Jake, Valerie & Matty.
