Students don't usually like having to go to school under normal circumstances, so imagine how the students at Kent High School feel considering what's happening to them. While the teens are attending Saturday detention at the school, a chemical plant meltdown causes an explosion of their small town. They survive but are now trapped inside the educational institution -- and they are not alone. Predatory mutant freaks have taken over the school and town, leading to a battle between them and the students. Escape is not an option because venturing outside into the dangerous unknown presents its own life-and-death stakes for the teenagers.

Neil Genzlinger New York Times 10/10/2016
Here in the age of zombie TV, lots about Freakish seems familiar, but with the episodes shorter than a half-hour each, the series goes down easily. Go to Full Review Sonia Saraiya Variety 10/07/2016
Mild disinterest is probably not what the show was going for. Go to Full Review Kayla Cobb Decider 12/19/2017
It's campy, full of exaggerated teen soap acting, and weirdly delightful to watch. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 10/11/2016

Embrya A 12/03/2024 1st season was my favorite. Show got straight to the point and had a lot of details. I would rewatch. See more BroHunCup 06/14/2024 So upset it got cancelled everything I watch on hulu always has to be cancelled. But it was fantastic shocking stuff happened and I was deeply saddened that it had ended. See more 03/25/2022 Cringe worthy acting oh my God so so awful. Zoe you are the worst by far And just when you win that roll That award the Keller girl opens her mouth and starts the contests all over again See more 04/21/2021 First season was great. Very good writing and character development See more 08/08/2019 The premise of the show is a tried and true device that shows how a mixed group of varying personalities can form bonds and work together under the perilous circumstances that have brought them all together in a claustraohobic environment. The special effects budget may have been lacking, however the practical effects and convincing acting makes up for it. The exposition isn't premature, and each episode artfully builds suspense while hashing out character arcs. I wouldn't say that this is the best show I've ever watched, but it was certainly good enough to grab my attention continually. The 20 minute run time of each episode is both convenient for individuals with a busy schedule, while also being well thought out and executed, leaving the viewer feeling as if their time was well spent. I would highly recommend checking it out if this review has peaked your interest. See more 07/29/2019 I actually ended up loving this! & it left me hanging! Definitely signing the petition for season 3! See more Read all reviews
