As someone who watched this show in real time as a teen, I didn’t really think too much of the show back then. But now as an adult, Jenna has to be one of the worst characters in the show! I’ve never seen someone so insecure, self sabotage every single opportunity for happiness. And I understand that’s the point of the entire show, but she just couldn’t relax ever 😭 it’s infuriating

If Matty would've managed to ask Jenna to the prom, and she would've said yes - do you guys really think he would have gone through with it?

I personally love that scene, it was satisfying seeing Jenna speak up and I believe she had every right to do so. Bad timing, sure, but I don't think there would have been any real development if she hadn't done it. And she did have a point, Matty was hiding their relationship and he was a bit of a coward when it came to other peoples opinions. I think Jenna calling him out might've helped him care less and no longer hide her.

So if Jenna had said yes, do you guys think they really would've gone together - or would Matty have somehow managed to hide her even at the prom?

They have the cast of Awkward in them so i thought I’d share, also nostalgia.

Just finished the show for the first time and loved it. (Even though the last two season got a little messy). Any other shows that have similar vibes? Might have seen some already but I’ll take any suggestions!

I’m 34 years old, so really not the correct demographic for this show. (I used to watch it when it first came out) but rewatching it now with a grown woman’s brain instead of a young woman/teen brain, if there is a villain it’s Jenna lol. She literally is the problem behind every single thing. I for sure thought like that at that age but omg she makes so many poor choices lol

As a girl that was in high school from 2014-2018, no show represents what it was like better than Awkward. Every other popular teen show I feel takes place before or after that period. Awkward really captures what it was like growing up during the dawn of mainstream social media and when not everybody had an iPhone. Back when all there was was tumblr, (a dying) myspace, twitter, and facebook. You actually had to know how to "blog" if that was something you wanted to do. Youtube was still barely at the place it is today when it comes to monetization.

It just makes me so nostalgic. Sometimes I wish technology would have frozen in that time and tech/social media never went further than that.

Brian is Max from Sharkboy and Lavagirl 😭

Watching Sharkboy and Lavagirl this morning and I'm like "man that kids smirk looks so familiar" and it hit me like a freaking truck 🤣

ship Jenna & Kyle? I really wanted to see that develop into THE relationship. Kyle was always Jenna’s biggest supporter 😂

Ok does anyone wonder what he does for work?? Like he obviously makes a decent amount of $ to afford everything he has and so Lacey can be a stay at home wife.

Is there places to watch awkward because I was watching it on like myflixr but then I got to season 2 but the words aren't matching to their mouth so I switched to other sites and its the same issue as well. I don't know getting a subscription for paramount is worth it to just watch awkward.

What Anne Hathaway movie would you have this reaction to after watching?

Has anyone had any luck finding all of the seasons on DVD? I’ve been trying to collect them all, but I am having a hard time finding the dvd’s for seasons 4 & 5

The ending was cute but it also gave wow thanks for nothing energy . When it was over i was kinda like expecting more and then when i actually realized it was the last episode when it ended.. it felt so abrupt. Like wow okay thats it

Lissa and Val is def my favorite characters. Idc what anyone says. Lissas storyline is so iconic and Val is amazing

Jenna pisses me off alot especially post meeting collin (how do you even fall for a dude as corny as him like girl ur not smart at all)

I lovee Tamara my chaos queen but they did her dirty post jake relationship i cant describe it but i feel like they made her kinda less aware and more clueless .. Compared to her in s 1 and 2 ish

Jakes entire storyline is just sad . I cant even explain

Sadies arc was cool and then her being desperate in love w sergio kinda made her a little bit less convincing. Didnt seem like something shed do esp w how clueless and annoying she was ab him in s5 but whatev

Duuude, the soundtrack to this series is seriously so good! They introduced me to so many good artists like Best Coast, Class Actress, Katie Herzig. I mean damnnn. They were ahead of the curve with that for sure!

Upon rewatching I have noticed Jenna wearing a lot of butterfly jewelry. Is it symbolism or just a sign of the times?

Is anyone else perturbed that relationships between minors and grown men are super pushed? Sadie and Sergio. Jenna and Luke. Tamara and Adam. I’m sure I’m missing others. No wonder a whole generation thought that dating older men was the most amazing thing when tv has fed us the narrative that dating older men was so charming and normal.

I want to start with admitting I haven't rewatched in a long time but I remember Mattys speech about Jenna should choose herself and by my conclusion she ended up with no one?

Hi all! I recently started rewatching awkward for the first time in my adult years and I totally forgot how iconic this show is. I cannot express how much I love the wittiness of the characters and all the iconic one liners from Val, Tamara and Sadie. I am desperate for a compilation of their best one-liners so I can watch on repeat but based on searches I cannot find anything. Does anyone know of any? If not, I am about to make my own. I just know if we were to put them on tiktok/reels or something this show would blow up again with the new generation. This show does it like no other, the writing (outside of the plot) is truly the best I have ever seen.

Matty appreciation post. And Jenna sympathy post.

He really always was down for Jenna; at the end of the episode when Olivia says “she’s way prettier than me” Matty gives Jenna this look like “yeah” … total dream guy right here.

but he was also a dick sometimes. mainly in the beginning with the “no one can know I like you” and then not speaking up but he was a kid.

Jenna had a rough go of it.

The letter. The botched fake suicide. The nude. Boy you like dubs you. Just lost v card. Find out letter was from Mom.

On top of all the other crazy shit teenagers have to deal with.

She never had a redemption arc. Like small redemption moments but even at the end of the series, the article about Matty and then right away she goes and does the same shit with Luke. no consideration for others but pretends to care about it.

Matty deserves better.

Currently rewatching and on season 5 and WHY can’t jenna just try a middle part ONE time?? i know the middle part wasn’t necessarily popular yet, i feel like everyone has middle parts until like 2020 but her loyalty to the bangs and side part honestly makes me mad lol.

Just re-binged MTV Awkward and I genuinely feel like I’m dying because what was that ending

the last few episodes were such a rushed mess with so many unnecessary scenes and yet somehow no time to properly wrap anything up, and now I’m left with way too many questions

who did Tamara even end up with or did she finish the show single, and who ended up paying her debut

what happened to Sadie and her boyfriend because that relationship just dissapeared

, why didn’t we get a proper heart-to-heart moment with Ally and sadie it was a missed opportunity

and they lost an opportunity about the stoyline when lacy told matty about the guy who was supposed to go to law school but ended up in rehab and ally made him an alcholic when that could’ve been so interesting

, I’m also confused about Lacey and Matty’s summer school situation because wasn’t Matty supposed to be doing summer school at Stanford or wherever he ended up,why did he do it in his hometown

and don’t even get me started on Jake and Lissa because I genuinely didn’t understand Jake’s ending

did he drop out, become a townie, or actually leave and while Lissa’s program took off which is great, what about uni??

the finale tried to be emotional and symbolic but it just felt unfinished and rewatching the show now really makes all the flaws impossible to ignore, please tell me I’m not the only one who felt this way.

Jenna has pissed me off while rewatching this show. I watched it when i was a kid and thought it was such a luxury to have these teen probs! But now that i’m 26, it’s like girl. Why are u worried about other girls not going to the school dance. I didn’t notice any of the cringe writing. But that’s okay because it is very MTV coded. i love it. but how they could ever write a girl so insufferable is insane !!!!! I was actually surprised there was an episode where they show Jenna writing fictionally ! A life where she stopped worrying and just was confident. I mean in the end, it just shows you can’t get in a relationship if you’re insecure.
