Paul Feig, Judd Apatow and the splendid and since very established actors conveyed an ingenius series with this, and though it was cancelled, the ending was perfect and perhaps at just the right time.
What could be a typical high school show with all the stereotypes and caricatures sets itself far beyond that, and brilliantly deconstructs it all. Everyone is written very much like real people, and you find yourself rooting for all of these kids in different ways.
In some ways it is even more eye-opening to watch it as an adult, far detatched from the social structures of high school and being able to see it all for how complex it is.
The child actors of course all do an incredible job, as provwn by most of their careers since, and the writing provides both stellar and well written drama and comedy in all the right places.
Overall, definitely one of my favourite shows of all time, and very much deserving of its spot on IMDb's Top 250 list!
