Awkward Embraces Review

I recently had the pleasure of stumbling upon a charming web show on YouTube. The show, "Awkward Embraces" chronicles the adventures of Jessica, Candis, and Lyndsey. Many of the episodes focus on Jessica who is a Sci-Fi nerd and always seems to have the worst of luck with guys. Her two best friends struggle to help her through her dating misadventures.

"Awkward Embraces" is a quirky and hilarious show. It's easy to admire and even see yourself in Jessica's character. She is a strong woman with a great sense of who she is. She openly talks about her love of science fiction such as her adoration for Star Wars and enjoys playing video games. Although she hits it off with a couple different guys in the series, she still seems to remain clueless about men and often seeks her friends' help.

The actress who plays the character of Jessica's name is Jessica Mills. She not only plays the protagonist, but she also writes and produces the show under her own production company called Project A.

So far, there have been an accumulative twenty-two episodes (there have been two seasons). Each episode is between five and ten minutes long. I never cease to be amazed by how each episode has enough time to play out an edgy, hilarious scenario in that limited amount of time.

Besides being able to watch the hilarious episodes on YouTube, the show also has its' own video blog, where the actors from the series read viewer submitted comedic (some even disastrous) dating stories. This part of the channel is almost as fun to watch as the series itself, though I’m still hoping that the third season will be uploaded soon because I’m very eager to watch it. I made it through all twenty-two of the episodes the first day I stumbled upon it. I just couldn’t stop watching it.

I recommend this show for anyone over the age of sixteen considering there is a lot of mature humor in the series. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys shows like the Big Bang Theory and Sex in the City, considering the show seems to be a mix of the two. I guarantee you will love the show. It’s hilarious to see the three main characters bounce off of each other. The chemistry between the actors makes the show even more delightful for the viewer. If you look up the show and give it a chance, I’m sure you’ll be as charmed as I am by it.
