Friday Night Lights

An honest, restrained, and powerful gold nugget of a show that somehow emerged from the vapid wasteland of network TV. The teen relationship stuff is sometimes cringey, but most of the time these characters feel so real you'd believe they live right down the street from you.

My favorite TV series and perhaps my favorite piece of art/media ever created in any medium. An achingly emotional, raw, powerful, hilarious, tragic, thrilling, quietly epic tone poem about life in small-town America. Love Coach Taylor and Tami and Riggs and Matt Saracen. Yes, an entire season (season 2) is notably and egregiously not as good as the other four. But those four are so good it's still a 100. Consider seasons 1 and 3-5 to have 110 ratings if you need it to mathematically check out.

good series

Great show.

Amercia. Take it or leave it.

W4E2P2S2V2M2A2R4. Take away Julie Taylor and you might have the perfect series.

Sometime maybe good sometimes maybe shit

The Wire and Friday Night Lights are my two favorite TV shows ever. From coach's wife Connie Britton on down the line, the ensemble of female characters is the best written, best acted, and most beautiful of all time. Every character on the show has struggles and is a three dimensional person. American television literally does not get better than this.

Doesn't seem as bad, only if I liked American football

Corny in the best way.
