Awkward. (2011–2016)
7/10
Went off the rails in the second half of season 3
5 June 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This show was really fun and refreshing, a great teen sitcom in a sea of sh*tty teen melodramas. After they brought Collin and Eva into the show though, it took a turn for the melodramatic. The Jenna getting drugs storyline felt like they were pandering to what they thought teens wanted to see. The season 3 finale was way too Pretty Little Liars, and having Eva turn out to be stalking all of them was the peak of it. They tried to fix it by writing those storylines out at the beginning of season 4, but the show could never really find the same place it that began. The attempt to wrap everything up felt forced and predictable at every turn. Overall a good show, but the last 2 seasons aren't up to the bar that it set.
