The TVI Take
Judd Apatow's one-season masterpiece about high school outcasts in 1980. Cognitive demands from the authentic character complexity — no character is a type, every one is a person.
Educational value from the unflinching depiction of adolescent social dynamics. Launched the careers of half of Hollywood. Eighteen perfect episodes.
