In the comedy-drama series Freaks and Geeks (1999–2000), Linda Cardellini played Lindsay Weir, an exceptionally smart and driven high-school student. The show focuses on two groups of high-school students in suburban Michigan in 1980. Throughout the series, Lindsay reconsiders the value of things she previously held in high importance, such as getting good grades and following the rules. She quits the “mathletes” (an academic team that competes in mathematics competitions) and starts hanging out with the “freaks,” a group of misfits who skip class, experiment with drugs, and rebel against their parents.
