Faking It (2014–2016)
6/10
appealing cast and friendships
19 May 2016
Best friends Karma Ashcroft (Katie Stevens) and Amy Raudenfeld (Rita Volk) get mistaken for a lesbian couple by gay student Shane Harvey (Michael Willett) and nominated for Homecoming Queens in the aggressively progressive Austin high school. Karma is desperate to be popular and maintains the ruse. Karma is straight and pining for hunky Liam Booker (Gregg Sulkin). On the other hand, Amy is discovering her sexuality and her attraction to Karma. Opposing them is Amy's self-obsessed righteous step-sister Lauren Cooper (Bailey De Young).

This has an appealing young cast. The characters are fun. The premise is digging into serious issues but at times, it threatens to treat it in less-than-serious ways. The best part continues to be the friendship of Karma and Amy. Lauren is a hilarious villain until she softened her edge later on. There is a good group of friends here. It could have continued after the three seasons but it's also a bit repetitive dealing with Karma and Amy's relationship.
