A cast of fresh faces, with Ashley Rickards in the lead role, stars in this irreverent comedy that centers on teenager Jenna Hamilton, who comes of age after an accident results in a blown-way-out-of-proportion misunderstanding. Narrated in the first-person voice of Jenna's blog posts, the series captures the high-schooler's embarrassing struggles as she copes with her new accident-induced identity, and she's hellbent on not letting it define her. From a secret relationship with a popular student, to being mocked by a mean cheerleader, and dealing with her clueless parents, Jenna's bad luck is the precursor for amazing change.

Curt Wagner Chicago Tribune High school horrors are pretty universal-even for people well past that age like me-and "Awkward's" writing is sharp enough to keep even those viewers who refuse to go to their reunions laughing. Jan 8, 2019 Full Review John Griffiths Us Weekly Fresh face Ashley Rickards is instantly appealing in this goofy high school comedy. Rated: 3/5 Sep 15, 2017 Full Review Elizabeth Sankey Guardian There's something to be said for fictional teenagers who can reel off witty one-liners but it's been ages since we've had a sincere teen show. Oct 14, 2011 Full Review Nick McHatton TV Fanatic Perhaps the most aptly-titled show on television. Everything Jenna Hamilton goes through fits that word and I can't help laughing and feeling second hand embarrassment right along with her. Rated: 4.2/5 Jul 19, 2011 Full Review Matt Roush TV Guide Juno-esque in its snarky tone when it isn't straining to be shockingly graphic. Jul 19, 2011 Full Review Ellen Gray Philadelphia Daily News Jenna being actually pretty adorable. And so is Awkward, which, like Glee, deals gently and semicomically with issues of sexuality and bullying but never really draws blood. Jul 19, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews
