Freaks & Geeks

Easily?

it was so easy for me to say it, therefore yes

i just watched the pilot again and bill's awkwardness is so vivid and painful that it doesn't really seem like acting at all

my overriding memory of this show (which I only saw for the first time 4-5 years ago) is by the end of every episode my other half would be in floods of tears and just saying how much she was like the linda cardinelli character as a kid. there's a truthfulness to this show you don't see much in programmes about young people. the episode where the drummer kid quits playing drums is just so harsh and powerful.

Rly want to watch this again, not sure if i can in the uk?

Isn't it on netflix? I think it used to be?

it is in the US

Been watching this as a family. Been a while, but perfectly cast, well written, very almost unusually nuanced and empathetic. My kids are digging it.

Just saw a 90-min show on it on A&E, worth seeing.

Started this tonight for something I've been working on. Found the first episode slow but promising. This probably came up somewhere on The Virgin Suicides thread, but it's amazing that (from the air/release dates I was able to look up) they scooped Coppola on "Come Sail Away" by a few months (best scene in the pilot, I'd say). Coppola's film also had a key scene with a Down Syndrome character--I don't know if she's ever talked about it, but she seems to have been influenced by the TV show.

Often great. Enough so that when it wasn't, I wanted its many flaws smoothed over. And when the flaws started to take over, something great would happen.

well this is a big hit w my 12yo daughter

:D

She sees right through Daniel’s bad boy act fyi

My kids *loved* it when we watched it as a family.

#raisedright

loved this. the dramatic elements were grounded and relatable, regardless of when you grew up. hell, Nick's failed drumming audition was heartbreaking! or Neil finding out his dad was a low-life.

In hindsight this getting canceled after 1 season was sign of the decline of America

This being on Hulu came at the perfect time for quarantine
