Faking It

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!

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.

Everything you need to know to decide whether to watch this awesome show!

Watch if you: 1. Like funny shows! 2. Are in high school 3. Confused about your sexuality 4. Love your best friend

Do not watch if: 1. You are not tolerant of the LGBT community

Yes, I cannot think of any other reason not to watch this amazing show! I love the main characters. They all have great development and the story line is good. You'll find yourself rooting for almost all of them while laughing out loud at the same time. I watched the entire first season in a matter of few hours and find myself eagerly waiting for the second season. This show sneaked up on me and took me by surprise.

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.

This series is still in its second episode and I find it quite enjoyable, but I don't know whether I should be outraged by it or not.

On one hand, I feel like it could be an attempt at representing the LGBTQIA community (or at least homosexuals) in a show that feels light and portrays an acceptant society; on the other, I fear it might be just exploiting an under-represented group to create humorous situations.

The series itself is fun, its fast pace and short episodes are quite successful at catching one's attention and the situations the characters are put in are a mix of uniqueness (due to the alternative setting they find themselves in) and typicality of teenage drama shows.

Considering the girls are neither actively lesbians (at the beginning, at least - Karma is probably bisexual, Amy COULD be a lesbian), nor too familiar with the queer community, the misconceptions seem to be justifiable, but it worries me that people who don't have considerable understanding of queerness might take them as true.

The story has a lot of potential to become an inspiration to teenagers who are struggling with their sexual identities, but it needs to be developed with caution, considering our society isn't as acceptable as the girls' school.
