Freaks and Geeks (1999)

Judd Apatow's Freaks and Geeks is a comedy-drama series centered around several now-popular stars in their first-ever appearances as outcast teenagers dealing with the "hilarious unfairness of teen life." The friend groups are split into "freaks" and "geeks," each with their own quirks that resonate with teens today as they try to find their place in the socially complex world of high school.
