Faking It

Up until recently I was not aware of this show. While I was browsing amazon prime for something to watch, I stumbled onto this show, and I fell in love. Amy and Karma are great characters, characters that you can't help but to root for. And the battle between Shane and Lauren is both funny and charming. The story line is fresh and finally set in a more modern way of thinking. I believe for the most part that this is how high school is now. It was like this even when I left high school 4 years ago. There is absolutely nothing that I don't love about this show. I have watched the first season twice already and I probably watch even more in the time spent waiting for season 2.

Let's be honest; nobody watches this show because is deep and meaningful. We watch this show because is full of ships. Allow me to explain.

"Faking it" got out in 2014 for MTV, and it was an "Awkward meets gay" concept. The show revolves around Amy and Karma who are best friends.Karma desperately wants to be popular, and Amy wants to make her dearest friend happy. Therefore, when the whole school believe they are the first lesbian couple on school. The faking it begins and the shipping it as well.

The whole show is us hang on for the next Karmy (Karma X Amy) moment that make us want more. The show is full of drama and comedy. The characters are so charming we cared about them, and we want them to be happy but there are things to complicate to achieve and that's pretty good.

This show is full of LGBT representation and it doesn't make it seems like something odd or unique, it makes it seems normal. Therefore, if you are a teenager afraid of their sexuality, this show will make you see there's nothing wrong with you. Love is love. If you are one of those people who says "People want to make everything gay nowdays" then, this is not your show.

Seriously this show is so entertaining! I saw a random fan trailer on youtube and thought I would check it out. I was surprised just how funny this show is.

The gay guy in it just makes it! All the one liners leave me in stitches every time.

I'm long past being a teenager, but this is still very funny!

I wish I went to a school that accepted everyone for being different and actually made those differences cool!

Check it out! Better yet, watch the whole season in one sitting!

p.s all the other characters (including the parents) just add to the awesome nature of this show!

This is one of my all time favourite shows this year, its short length episode makes you crave more. Really excited for the second season. I love the references to other shows of the current culture such as Glee in the first episode.

I would give a 10/10 but the unnecessary censoring was a little weird. Got used to it after a couple episodes though. I'm on the edge on the whole 8 episode thing. It told a great story, felt like a film in parts. But I would've loved a couple more. But it worked with 8 so I'm not going to complain!

Really excited for the next season coming real soon, cannot wait to see if this ever gets released on DVD. Deserves a much bigger audience. I love this series to bits!

In my opinion this show (on MTV) is primarily meant for teens. Now i have read some user reviews that find it stupid, offensive, too stereotypic etc etc. . .

Well OK i'm not a teen anymore - in fact it's been some thirty years since i was a teen - but i know that gay/lesbian teens are still as uncertain and uncomfortable with their feelings and emotions as WE were some thirty years ago. Now back in those days we didn't have shows like FAKING IT where we could see that it is in fact OK to be gay/lesbian; that it is just another sexual orientation and that there's nothing wrong with being attracted to the same sex!

So the way i see it, it is very good having this show (although some find it lame or stereotypic or whatever . . !) and i hope it reaches and helps gay/lesbian teens in the difficult process of self-acceptance and dealing with their sexual orientation!
