Reception

Reviews

The Young Folks had this to say about season 2A: "Faking It's sophomore season starts off with a bang, an emotional rollercoaster that, while not as big as the season finale's final minutes, has the perfect backdrop to lead up to some jaw-dropping events in the future." While "We Got This Covered" said this about season 2B: "Faking It is still a humorous nexus of forward-thinking, silver-tongued teenagers, but the second half of season two also cements the show as something else: a damn good ensemble sitcom."
