Awkward.	comment	Awkward. is a live-action MTV dramedy about the life of Jenna Hamilton (Ashley Rickards), a social outcast who gains attention after a misconstrued suicide attempt.Jenna is a normal, everyday girl. She has Amazingly Embarrassing Parents, who, due to having her in high school, never quite grew up themselves. She has a crush on popular jock Matty McKibbon (Beau Mirchoff), hangs out with her two best friends, Tamara Kaplan and Ming Huang, and tries to avoid the wrath of Sadie Saxton.Jenna's life changes on the last day of summer camp when she loses her virginity to Matty and then receives an anonymous letter that calls her out on her faults. After her reaction to the back-to-back humiliation is mistaken for a suicide attempt, she now faces sudden attention and infamy, but she decides to take the situation in her own hands and attempts to rework it for the positive. Throughout the first season, she navigates trying to figure out who wrote the anonymous letter and being in a secret relationship with Matty while his best friend Jake Rosati develops a crush on her despite dating Sadie's friend Lissa.The series premiered July 19, 2011. Despite initially appearing steeped in teen drama cliches, it quickly became a Sleeper Hit, developing a surprising Periphery Demographic and gaining critical praise. The fifth and final season aired in the fall of 2015.

Awkward. / int_1434e55c	comment	Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Jenna's mother still reminisces about her high school popularity. Her implants apparently feel like the real thing, and she'll happily let guests feel for themselves. Her dad is better, but still does some horribly awkward things, such as give his daughter condoms for Christmas. Ming's parents are pretty bad as well, the most prominent example being forcing Ming to take a random girl to the Winter Formal because they refuse to let a boy take her.

She may have something to worry about, if she really does want to pursue a romantic relationship with Matty. Again. Heavily implied that this is why Sadie despises Jenna so much. Jenna has her ideal figure, her crush Matty's romantic interest, the respect of the mother she's desperately trying to please and, during season 2, her best friend Lissa's friendship.

The last one blows up in her face as Jenna quickly realizes that Matty is too decent a person to do such a thing.

She occasionally gets Pet the Dog moments, but even then, she stays the aggressive, hostile, and conceited soul she always has been. Tamara also counts. Despite her being very ditzy and driven by the urge to be popular, she's actually a good student, ranking #17 of her year, while Jenna for example is only #137.

The Season 2 premiere establishes the blog had been public for all to read, but no visitors had ever commented (until now). Towards the end of the season, it is publicly talked about by many people and there are HUGE repercussions to everything Jenna has already written, forcing her to go offline and write in an old fashioned pen-and-paper diary to have some private thoughts to herself.

Awkward. / int_a939d96a	comment	Adults Are Useless: The staff at the school are well aware of Sadie's extremely bullying. This includes taking and publically posting a nude picture of Jenna and outing a gay student. But they do absolutely nothing to prevent it or reprimand her for it. The only time that Valerie threatens Sadie with consequences happens when she steals the private counsellor files, and instead of going to the principal so they can get rid of her for good, Valerie stupidly tries to hold it over Sadie's head, then takes the file back which Sadie recognizes means there's no proof, thus losing her leverage. Jenna's parents are well meaning doofuses who don't really know how to properly relate to Jenna, who is less popular and more introspective than they were, and on several occasions they go way over the top with their punishments, making things worse. Sadie is abandoned by her parents and then they allow her to be adopted by a woman who is clearly unsuitable for the task. Matty's parents kick him out because they find out about him having sex with Jenna. The worst offender is guidance counselor Valerie, who rarely provided straightforward, forthright advice and would often make make things worse for Jenna by misunderstanding whatever it is Jenna's telling her about. In Se1Ep2 where a nude photo of Jenna is circulated. And it's Jenna who points out that it's illegal, not Valerie. Valerie's failures and idiocy is eventually made into a plot point where Jenna reveals all the terrible things she had done, which causes Valerie to be fired. But because the other adults on the show are also stupid, Valerie eventually gets her job back. Ming's parents are stereotypically overbearing Asian helicopter parents, with one example being her mother driving into the school to get her to leave a school function/party. They get better in their final appearance, having giving up their overly strict parenting to allow Ming to have no curfew on prom night.

After she leaves Sadie with her alcoholic aunt for 2-3 seasons (a year, probably), she returns and seems to have moved on from her terrible methods. She gradually regains Sadie's trust, occasionally using Allie for some of the less obvious ploys, and tells Sadie she wants her to meet her boyfriend. Turns out, she only wanted to prove to her boyfriend that she was close to her daughter (she definitely fed him some embellished lies about texting/Skyping/etc Sadie everyday). After Sadie learns about this, she decides to cut her mother out of her life entirely. Jenna's parents kick her out of the house at one point, try to charge her hundreds of dollars in rent and costs because they were angry with her choices and her mother was the one who wrote the letter that sent Jenna into a spiral of depression at the start of the show.

Awkward. / int_d308cbb0	comment	Character Catchphrase: "You're welcome" is Sadie's tag after any of her brutal comments (which she claims are uncomfortable truths people need to hear). In one episode she becomes her own Phrase Catcher when Jenna blackmails her with personal information and ends the threat with a pitch perfect "You're welcome." Jenna briefly has one in a Season 2 episode where she thinks of doing over her relationships with Matty and Jake. In her do-over with Matty, she became an Alpha Bitch who would say: "Sorry; I'm not sorry."

Jenna also eats some of the apparently awful-tasting food, which led to her spitting it into a nicely decorated vase... That turned out to by his urn. His candlelight vigil turns into a drunken Wild Teen Party, but not before several girls (and some guys) reveal that he broke their hearts and they hated him.

Awkward. / int_e5e6640b	comment	Flanderization: When the show began, Ricky Schwartz was a kind of perverted band geek. By his death in season 3 he was an almost psychotic Extreme Omnisexual who was obsessed with breasts. Kyle was introduced as bizarre loner who may have a thing for Jenna because of her suicide stigma. By the end he was a complete loser who was obsessed with Jenna, bordering on Stalker with a Crush. The Julies were originally just snobby girls. They eventually replaced Sadie and Lissa as the Alpha Bitches of the school, but without the subtly and depths that the other two had. Sadie's mother was introduced as a cold but classy woman who loved her daughter but had little understanding for her life. By the end she had become a heartless Rich Bitch who was pretending to love Sadie as a means to secure a rich husband.
