Résumés(1)
Created by writer-comedian Paul Feig and executive produced by Judd Apatow, Freaks and Geeks followed the Weir siblings - former math whiz Lindsay (Linda Cardellini) and her younger brother Sam (John Francis Daley) - as they navigated the perils and pleasures of a Michigan high school circa 1980. What separated Freaks and Geeks from most other scholastic series was its brutal honesty - Lindsay and Sam, as well as their friends and parents, were given very human personas that showed failure, malice, indecision, and moments of great clarity. Likewise, the plotlines rarely offered pat solutions to the characters’ conflicts - the show unfolded in a naturalistic manner, which was a welcome respite for viewers tired of flashy high school dramas. When combined with its smart dialogue and winning performances (the cast included SCTV veteran Joe Flaherty and Spider-Man star James Franco, as well as the sublime and criminally underrecognized Martin Starr and Seth Rogen as Sam’s pal Bill and dry-witted Ken, respectively), the show became a haven for fans of quality television, if only for a brief period of time.

Countless teen series of varying quality have been filmed. And then there's Freaks and Geeks. An excellent series with a perfect atmosphere and an unrivaled soundtrack. A series that isn't afraid of any topic, does not offer only happy endings and has discovered a ridiculous number of future movie stars for Hollywood. I can see why it literally has a cult status in the US today. ()
