ohmy let me tell you about faking it:

+ it's an MTV show which made me eyeroll at the beginning but apart from being a bit trashy and the acting not being superb, the whole thing is actually very A++++

+ it's a teen high school show in a high school that's ~alternative and ~liberal and features amy & karma, BFFs who, in an attempt to gain popularity in the school decide to fake being a lesbian couple. of course, shenanigans ensue.

+ the show also features: a gay friend of theirs/amy's who's fun and brilliant, though a bit self centered who has a frenemy lauren, who is a hbic, and also amy's stepsister; liam, karma's love interest, sad artist boy who actually isn't as annoying as it sounds

+ you also get: prom, anti-capitalism, high school rebelling, laverne cox guest starring, canon bisexual, gay, lesbian and intersex characters, silly dancing, lots of girls having complex and diverse relationships with each other, drunken hookups, fun school plots, fun family/parent stuff, a breakfast club inspired detention episode, actual conversations about life, love, sexuality, friendship, etc
