This is Awkward.


I love me a good teen dramedy, and Awkward. on MTV fits the bill. It's well written and the characters are fun. I'd describe it as Gilmore Girls meets Glee, but darker and no singing. And it's only half an hour, which I love, because even though I like the show, sometimes shorter is better and 22 minutes of commitment is much easier than 42.

My only gripe about the show is that it relies too heavily on the lead character's narration. The lead actress, Ashley Rickards, is talented and doesn't need the help; she should say something funny rather than think something funny. The show would end up being, well, funnier.

If you haven't checked out Awkward., it's worth your 22 minutes.
