    Like Clueless without the satire or humour. Lowest common denominator. Seriously unintelligent. They might as well be winking at the camera and saying look at us, we believe that the writers gave us super exciting and genre breaking lines to say...but from absolute disney duds that's not surprising. Please don't waste your time on this or think that it will in any way help you to exploreLike Clueless without the satire or humour. Lowest common denominator. Seriously unintelligent.

Please don't waste your time on this or think that it will in any way help you to explore concepts of sexuality. Watch HBO's Girls or Broad City for intelligent, funny women and real concepts of life. Expand

    Credit the winning cast, especially Volk, and executive producer Carter Covington's sweet/snarky tone for a half hour viewers won't have to pretend to love.

    Beyond the joke, the show’s premise is encouraging: that being gay is no big deal.... The engine driving this show is female friendship, the kind strong enough to get you through even high school. For Amy and Karma, we want that.

    For Stevens' character, Karma, kissing her best friend, Amy (Volk), is a way --admittedly not the most direct way--of getting closer to Liam, a cute guy (Gregg Sulkin) with commitment issues. For Amy, though, it's more complicated, and that's where Faking It begins to seem less like a joke, as the shift in a relationship stirs up feelings that move her into the "questioning" column of LGBTQ.
