A comedy/drama for rockers, geeks, burn-outs, and nerds!
I know- 10. Really? Yes, really. This show changed my thoughts about TV writing. It's a comical, touching and cool look into two diverse groups of misfits- the "Freaks" and the "Geeks".
You will recognize many of the freaks (James Franco, Linda Cardellini, Jason Segel) who have since moved on to more lucrative acting careers. Some notable episodes deal with transgender characters, abusive parents and of course- drugs and sex!
The younger geeks plotlines revolve around defending their frail bodies and reputations against bullies, spinning the proverbial bottle, dealing with cheating parents and ventriloquist dummies.
I can't say enough good things- unlike the other review, I was hooked since disk one. Give it a chance-if not for the nostalgic music, then for the quality of young actors. |
