If a human is exposed to raw space vacuum, they will not freeze any time soon. Vacuum is an excellent insulator, because there is no matter that can transport away your heat (convection), like in an atmosphere or liquid. Managing heat is actually a problem in space, especially with sunlight.
Rapid evaporation may cause cooling in certain parts of the body though.
Latest episode of Star Trek: SNW got this wrong, so has a lot of other shows, movies and books in the past.
