Reviews

John Doyle
Globe and Mail
The series is funny, humane, deadpan and realistic.

Chris Taylor
Daily Telegraph (UK)
During its short but perfectly formed run, it forced its audience to laugh through the awkwardness of adolescence.

It's worth watching just to see baby versions of people like James Franco, Jason Siegel, Seth Rogan, Busy Phillips, and others, but it's also a genuine take on high school and the constant need to feel like you belong.
