Awkward. (2011–2016)
6/10
I take offense
29 July 2013
I saw Awkward's pilot and was incredibly deeply offended. The show makes suicide seem like a joke, and I felt physically sick when Sadie told Jenna it was for attention. I hated how Jenna had to convince others she was not "crazy" for it. The writers were a little too insensitive with that storyline. Sadie being the mean girl or not, it was NOT okay to make it seem like suicide is for attention rather than a result from a serious mental illness. It was an ignorant thing to do and I really can't watch this show any longer after this occurrence. How do you have show such an offensive plot to such a young demographic?
