One of my favorite show, it might seem cliché but it’s 15 years old, this serie created the first outsider-geek characters on tv, and has a good female lead character for once ! Too bad there is only 1 season, it was ahead of its time

No… I didn’t meant it was cliché, true that i don’t know what i wanted to say… yes it uses some clichés/stereotypes but i didn’t mean the series seemed cliché at all.. It seems to depict the stories/characters in an interesting (enough) way. I liked the first episode… Although I find it strange that it was made in 99/00 when i would have guessed/ i thought i don’t know why that it was made around 95/96… The female lead character seems quite interesting I agree, from the only episode i saw at least, I like her. She’s a cool character. And I even still wear an army jacket nowadays.. Perhaps I’m too old now to wear an army jacket? When was the last time I bought clothes? Nevermind.

There’s a thing I don’t understand: why ‘the freaks’ make all those funny faces. Is there an explanation?

More importantly: What I find strange is how the geeks were casted… maybe that’s The Thing that bothered me. It’s somehow disturbing to me to see characters too typically look like what they’re meant to be… They’re geeks, okay, they totally look like geeks. I get it. No. It’s strange. Also in some shows/films, awkward characters or scenes make me feel awkward too and it’s always weird… Can i can end this with ‘I don’t know’? Maybe the series is a bit cliché but i really don’t know, using clichés/stereotypes is always tricky.

edit: ok all characters are casted in the same way as the geeks possibly, but i’m too lazy to talk about this kind of thing… the way people are usually casted in movies/etc….
