    Every episode leaves me wanting for more! I've seen all the episodes of Season 1 and 2 non-stop, and I'm still not eagerly waiting for the next. Great acting+ great story = Happy audience

    This show became tripe as its first season wore on, and season two continues its abysmal journey. In season two it fully embraces a central concept of a popular girl and a ridiculous Twilight-style love triangle. How edgy. That Jenna "chooses" Matty, the reprehensible creature who had a relationship with her but kept it secret because she was beneath his social position, is a final nailThis show became tripe as its first season wore on, and season two continues its abysmal journey. In season two it fully embraces a central concept of a popular girl and a ridiculous Twilight-style love triangle. How edgy. That Jenna "chooses" Matty, the reprehensible creature who had a relationship with her but kept it secret because she was beneath his social position, is a final nail in the coffin. Ignoring any notion of self-respect, Jenna chooses the hotter guy who so seriously abused her. Of course, Matty is now presented as a sterling guy, a worthy challenger to nice guy, Jake, even as he uses another girl while pining for Jenna. That this show is aimed at teenagers is a disgrace in and of itself. What is the message? Go with the hot guy who you crush on, no matter how disgusting his behaviors are. The first few episodes of season one showed a great deal of promise. I kept waiting for Jenna to come to the realization that she respected herself too much to bother with the likes of Matty. No. Matty's abs were too alluring. God, I came to hate this show so very much. Expand

    Sinceramente, esperava um pouco mais desta temporada. Os novos casais e os plots das personagens são minimamentes satisfatórios, mas, de facto, a MTV podia ter se esforçado mais. Não foi o suficiente para eu adorar.

    More of a guilty pleasure than anything of quality. The performances are perfect if you compare them to Lifetime. An unbearable protagonist flanked by even more annoying charaters makes an insufferable show.

    It's the best show on MTV--and one of the best on any network this summer. [6 Jul 2012, p.71]

    Jenna's buoyancy in a life of constant land mines keeps Awkward fun and refreshing.

    Awkward has grown and matured, but I don't think I love the direction that MTV and, presumably, Iungerich have chosen to push the show.
