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!

"Faking It" is, of course, MTV's new scripted teen comedy series, following the unwanted departure of "The Hard Times of RJ Berger" and on the heels of the wildly popular "Awkward." (the best scripted comedy series MTV has put out in the last four years and which I sadly suspect may be on its way off the air and into television oblivion once this new season is up).
Like everything else MTV, "Faking It" is comic, edgy trashiness of the first degree; in the 21st century, comic and edgy trashiness of the first degree is an absolute must for modern television programming, especially when it comes to MTV. And yet, like "Awkward." and "Hard Times," there's something oddly compelling about it, even moving.
Because it's only the first episode, a brief synopsis should be sufficient: life-long best friends - the social-climbing, un-ironically named Karma Ashcroft (Katie Stevens) and her gal-pal, the cynical, straight-laced Amy Raudenfeld (Rita Volk) - are a pair of desperate wannabes looking to fit into their liberal-minded, open and socially accepting Austin, Texas, high school, where even they appear to be outsiders desperately looking to join in on the club.
Before you know it, a series of misunderstandings and innuendos unexpectedly propels both girls into the celebrity limelight, where they are mistakenly "outed" as, and thus decide to pretend to be, lesbians, much to the satisfaction of the openly gay king bee Shane Harvey (Michael Willett), and the detriment of their mutual nemesis and resident mean girl/wannabe queen bee Lauren Cooper (Bailey Buntain), who is also Amy's new step-sister.
My impression from this first episode is that "Faking It" looks quite promising. "Faking It" looks to be an inspired take on the lengths we'll go to "fake it" in order to just fit in, bullying, intolerance, and 21st-century political-correctness. This goes to show that like "Awkward." and "The Hard Times of RJ Berger," and just because it's MTV, it may not be as dumb as it appears to be at first.
To their credit, and to our amazement, "Faking It" looks to do the impossible, and that is to be a scripted MTV teen comedy series that actually says something about our 21st-century perceptions of tolerance and acceptance (that it's even saying something at all is a magical feat in and of itself).
Things are looking good, so far...
8/10

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.

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.
I have only seen the first two episodes right now, but I need to write this.
When I first heard of this show, I was skeptic (and probably rightly so, looking at the description). However, it really only took me one episode to realize this was going to be much better than anticipated! It's definitely not a masterpiece, it's such an obvious MTV-show it's not even funny (good and bad), but it's fun and easy to watch. Also, a show about high school where gay people isn't only there to get bullied and beaten to death is a lovely surprise.
My limited English stops me from writing much more, but I really just wanted to get rid of that terrible homophobic review on the front page that didn't give the show any justice at all.
If you'd like a mix of Awkward and G.B.F. this show is probably ideal for you

You definitely have to watch more than one episode. I like how the teenages actually swear, how they make fun of highschool television and how out there they went with it. Even made references to Glee haha. I think anyone who is a TV Buff should definitely just try it. The acting is fairly good too. I liked it cause it made something so unoriginal (highschool TV) original in the way it was made. Yeah it has stereotypes eg. beautiful girls unpopular, uncool kids cool and what not but thats the whole point of it. Using the typical aspects and doing something different with them eg. lesbian theme, irony and swearing.

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.

You know those shows about teens where every conversation is spoken with urgency, like everything is a matter of life or death? This is one of those. Not that teens don't talk like that, sometimes they do, especially when in groups. But how about when every conversation sounds like a collection of one-liners, as if the writers don't know how to tune it down? It can be tiresome. (Suburgatory" manages to pull it off in my opinion.) And the characters can ring false when the language they use is more mature than the language of teens. In the first episode, the language seems too political, with references to communism and socialism. The anti-Republican stance of this episode was the most distracting and annoying. I am neither Republican nor Democrat, but it feels dishonest to politicize the language of teens.
Still, "Faking It" does have a certain charm. The two main characters, Amy and Karma, are likable. And they are desperate to fit in and, better yet, to be popular--a dream many can identify with. They decide to go along with the misconception that they are a lesbian couple, because that impression makes them instant celebrities. What happens when you sacrifice your integrity for popularity? Will their dishonesty come back to haunt the appropriately named Karma and her friend, Amy?
The comedy of the first episode does sometimes swipe at low-hanging fruit, notably the annoying nature of parents, who tend to be irrelevant and "abnormal". And the use of bleeping and pixelation to give the show an edge feels cheap. It would be better to air the show later and not self-censor, but that is probably not possible, so we will have to settle.
I am adopting a wait-and-see attitude with this show, hoping that the writers reveal some relevant and deeper truths about self-acceptance and social tolerance. And I also hope they take advantage of Karma's singing talent (Katie Stevens was on "American Idol") and Lauren's dance skills (Bailey Buntain was in the cast of "Bunheads").
I also hope the show takes us into the homes of these students, where they are truly themselves and not just the personas they adopt while in school. Then the characters might have depth. The writers might also want to throw in a sympathetic adult character occasionally--just for the sake of verisimilitude.

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!

Whilst this series won't win the award for best screenplay, it succeeds in hitting many difficult themes without being offensive or derogatory. I've read many online reviews that argue it's offensive that it's about lesbians - and this is just lesbophobia (real word). I've read reviews that argue it's offensive that the girl's aren't actually lesbians - that's mythophobia. The worst reviews I've read argue that it's offensive a school might actually regard homosexuals better than meterosexuals - that offends me!
This series manages to skirt the rarely considered themes without actually hitting them. I've found it to be excellent fun, if a little obvious, and hope it gets renewed!

This show has good potential. If you like shows such as "Awkward" this is for you. I enjoyed the pilot very much. It's new, fresh and fun. The two lead females complement each other well and I love the idea of two strong "lesbian" female leads. There's comedy and drama and a real charm and flare to the show. Although it is hard to judge this early on, I'm excited to see more! It's something new, enjoyable and defiantly worth trying.
I do get the feeling it may be a tad offensive to some people as there are some sexist undertones and although it's a very excepting show, the two girls faking being lesbian may be offensive.

I'm not sure why i watched it, i guess i thought i was giving new things a chance?
It ticks a fair amount of the boxes in my 'things i hate about television' area.
Its highly derivative, from the "now the uncool people are actually the cool people and none of classically cool people can grasp why" routine, which is a prevalent theme in the 2012 movie 21 jump street, to the characters which are all extremely exaggerated and defined by one loud attribute: The 'gay' guy is gay, the cute boy is a cute boy, the 'mean girls' stepsister is a 'mean girl'. They are all one-dimensional plot devices intended to push the story and humour along inorganically.
I honestly didn't get passed the house party 10 minutes in, maybe they drove home some deep introspective parable at the end that would validate watching people condense and simplify the complexities of teenage life into caricatures we've seen from a hundred different and less tedious sources before, but i couldn't get there. The plot is probably the most obvious of any show i've seen this year, no one notices us, they then think we're cool because of a lie, lets continue the lie and maintain our status even though its clear at some point in the future we will be ousted as frauds and face some form of backlash.
They are vanilla girls that are apparently unpopular despite being attractive and healthy with decent aesthetics, in the most welcome and inviting environment you can imagine, and they go to school with several thousand hipsters that manage to have a hierarchy of popularity based on not caring about your popularity, homogenising their clicks by being "alternative" together.
Let me just say, i'm not the target audience, i shouldn't have watched this show its not meant for me and i'm sure its actually pretty interesting if you're into teen highschool television, or feel like popularity is an important social factor in your lives. I'd rather squeeze lemons into a pool filled with broken glass and do a 'bomb' dive into it from a 10 meter springboard than watch this ever again, but it might be someone else's cup of tea.

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 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!

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.

This is the story of 2 girls who are bffs and, at some point, they pretend to be more than that (!), just to be more popular at their school.
Why being gay makes you more popular is beyond my understanding, but anyway.
The series is overall a sitcom for young people. The young leads are OK. The characters in the show are largely based on stereotypes though.
That bothers me the most with this is the....beeps!! Although this series deals almost exclusively with sex, and you see young people trying constantly to have some, even in more complicate ways ("Let's have a threesome" kind of ways), the producers put a bleeping sound almost on every "bad word" they can think of.
That's hypocrisy if you ask me.
Anyway, the show isn't bad, and some (young mostly) people might wanna watch it!

Gonna say the concept is pretty interesting and never done before. The cast is very good looking. Yet it doesn't have the elements that get me hooked.
Would love to pretend the last season didn't happen and the unnecessary characters were never added

I believe this show was an absolute best selling romantic drama. I really like the real parts of it. I really like how you can relate to at least one character! I rally would love for this show to come back as soon as possible please i'm begging you. I want karma and Amy to be together because they deserve each other and don't know it yet. Please at least let season 4 air. If you can't do that will you at least allow Netflix to pick up this amazing show "Faking It" Im a mess without this show. I really only liked MTV because this show was on air. I would put this show in my top five shows of all times because of the humor and love. Whats a show without a incomplete ending? Especially a happy ending because now all we get are awful endings from series. Just look at the walking dead's drop in viewers. You wont be sorry if you can bring this show back!! please it has such good ratings.

The series moves very quickly but it is very unrealistic and unbelievable! What is going on? It is harmful for teenagers who are trying to know themselves and get into the real world.
Why everyone's trying to date and have sex? Relationships are sucks. The ways they try to solve their relationship problems is not useful and it sucks too. They are easily influenced.
About the lgbtq, the story tried not to put labels on people but it did. So many times. Sometimes the quotes were very offensive and the part about transgenders was incomplete and left out. I expected more.
Actors weren't talented too.
This series is just a good way to pass the time when you have nothing to do but DON'T count on it and DON'T try to learn anything about it.
