Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
peytonfredonson I absolutely love this show! I can't not describe to you how amazing this show is! Everything about it is so inspiring and I really connect with all the characters. This show has definitely helped me with some personal issues. 10/10!
Anupiya Alwis I'm sure you've read the description, so shall not get into explaining the plot.This show is about the everyday life of you and I. Though it emphasises fotball, it really is about how life moves forward with the battles that one struggles with. I'm sure anyone could relate to these characters as we sure have grown up with one of them, or been one ourselves.A brilliant cast which no doubt deserves to be right up there with the hall of famers pours life into these characters, whom you'd fall in love with instantly.Friday Night Lights is a must watch, and a show to be remembered.
Tim Pfeifer Friday Night Lights is a great show. The show is realistic and exciting, and it will have you itching to watch the next episode. The show gives you a look at the magnitude of high school football in a small Texas town. As the name suggests, the show is centered around football, and each episode builds up to the weekly Friday night game. While watching the action, you'll find yourself cheering as if you were one of the thousands of spectators sitting it the stadium. Although the show is based on football, Friday Night Lights is deeper than just a sport. The show highlights relationships and community and how football affects them. Relationships of all kinds are examined in the show, and each goes through it's highs and lows, just like in real life. The show depicts economic, racial, and social issues in the small town in West Texas. The characters are developed to the point where you can relate to each one in a different way. Everyone would enjoy watching this show for different reasons. Whether it be the football, the drama, or the characters, everyone can relate to it. I suggest Friday Night Lights to anyone who is looking for a solid show.
ElessarAndurilS Friday Night Lights sat on my Netflix watch list for over a year before I gave it a chance. What a shock! I'm expecting a show about a football coach and a lot of game clips, instead I am quickly introduced to one of the best family drama's of excellent quality I've ever watched! Rare to see a positive drama in any context in recent years, yet this show portrays a loving couple and their family standing up for what is right in the face of a HIGHLY DYSFUNCTIONAL town with many dysfunctional people. But the story grows, and transitions in such an excellent way (excluding the abrupt end to season 2 I wasn't expecting - cut short by writers strike in 2008) the writing and story are excellent. Was casting 25 year old people as high school students a bit much, yes, but not uncommon... and when doing so to portray exceptional high school athletes; I totally get it, some of these high school football players DO LOOK 25 and they needed actors to look and play the part. Makes me give that a bye, along with the exceptionally pretty girls as that is also common practice.The important part was to me was how much of the story was character based, portrayed real life situations that as a parent I've had to deal with regardless of what I do because life happens to us all. As a father of 3 daughters some of it made me LMBO as Eric Taylor has to (try) and hold his temper in check and deal with his daughter growing up. I've said some of the things he said, and been in the same situations with some of my children so it really resonated with me as real. The transition from the Panthers to the Lions was a bit of a stretch as well with the first two seasons not really indicating there was a "wrong side of the tracks" in Dillon, but the shows introduction sequence does show a town with a lot of shuttered businesses, so it is not a stretch that there would be a lot of struggling families. True in so many small towns in this country.The best part was the shows ability to evolve and stay positive and life affirming in the effect this couple had on it and the way they ended it was very satisfying. One of the best quality family drama's I've seen.
