A trama gira em torno da adolescente Lindsay Weir (Linda Cardellini) e seu irmão Sam Weir (John Francis Daley), que frequentam a McKinley High School no início dos anos 80, nos subúrbios de Detroit, Michigan. Ao ser abalada pela morte da avó, Lindsay perde alguns hábitos e ganha novos fazendo novos amigos, vulgarmente freaks. Este novo estilo de vida de Lindsay traz conflitos às relações com seu irmão mais novo e seus pais.
Great ensemble cast and stories that captured high school life for the outcasts. Though the setting was supposed to be 1980-ish, the writing never quiet pulls that off. Believe it or not, something set in 1980 should feel more like the 1970's rather than stereotypical 80's. However, in the case of this show, it actually feels more like early 1990's high school experience. Even still, it's a great show that hits both the funny and the feels very well.
