Judd Apatow—writer-director of The 40 Year-Old Virgin, and creator of the acclaimed teen TV series Freaks and Geeks—graduates from high school to dissecting the vagaries of the higher-education experience with this smart and frequently painfully real dramedy revolving around the freshman year of college. Each half-hour episode is a gem of insightful, observant writing, and perfectly pitched ensemble performances exploring the perplexities of being independent for the first time—with numerous awkward forays into budding grownup sexuality. Compiling all 17 episodes (including the director's cut of one and another that never aired) of the short-lived series, Undeclared: The Complete Series also boasts a coursebook's worth of extras, including audio commentaries by cast and crew, deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes footage, outtakes, a mini-concert featuring co-star/musician Loudon Wainwright III, the script for an unfilmed episode, and much more. Highly recommended. (M. Johanson)
