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!

Coach Eric and Tami Taylor gave the most truthful display of marriage that I have ever seen on TV. The day to day struggles of each other, raising kids, holding down jobs, and navigating the politics of every day life was spot on. You fall in love with the characters, even the ones you don't necessary like in the beginning. The portrayal of rural, small-town America could not be more accurate. Everyone knows a Tim Riggins. The local screw up with a heart of gold. You will really begin to like Riggins after the first few episodes. Matt Saracen is probably the most relatable character. The unlikely hero that doesn't really stand out from anyone else. Julie Taylor is the typical teenager that goes through her share of growing pains. I'm sure being the daughter of the school counselor and football coach cannot be easy. No spoiler here but a certain couple will drive you crazy. Well actually, several of the couples will drive you crazy. Thank you Netflix for keeping it on so I could catch the series 5 years after it went off air. Great, great show.

Great TV show.The best thing about this TV show is the great acting across the board. Characters are complex, believable and for the most part likable, dealing with realistic scenario's.So many shows are guilty of having characters react in unrealistic ways and resorting to sensationalism to move the plot along, rather than considering what would realistically happen next. Not so here.The writing is first rate and it is shot in a "unique" way. I've seen some criticism of the camera work but this have never bothered me, it just adds character to the show and a sense that you are really spying on peoples lives rather than actors acting out a story for our amusement.Gripping.

It's hard to imagine a world without sport, being based in the UK American football is not my preferred sport however this show made me want it to be. Friday Night lights is more than just a show about football, first and foremost it is about the trials and tribulations of the town of Dillon who just to happens to be crazy about football. Throughout the shows run we followed is wide variety of characters through all sorts of highs and low, whether it be Tim Riggins' spell in prison, Brian "Smash" William's steroid abuse or Landry Clark's possible murder charge. Despite all this going on in the town, the people of Dillon would turn up week in week out to watch the Panthers, later the Lions play. Whilst the viewer would always have it in the back of their mind that there was a big game coming up. The ability to blend these two key aspects of the show are what make it a success. The last two seasons of this show in my opinion are the strongest as they dissected the very real cultural and social divide that plagues America to this day, and it is the shows handling or real contemporary issues that made it all worth while. You're not watching a show based on make believe circumstances, the topics that the show delved into are things people go through to this day. I entered the last episode with trepidation but the ending was in some ways perfect, and whilst some of the characters left you frustrated at their lack of belief in themselves or the stupidity of their choices (i see you Tim Riggins) at the end of the day you still ended up rooting for them. Finally i would like to talk about coach Eric Taylor, possibly the best character in all of television. An almost infallible human who i think we should all aspire to be like. I highly recommend this show for anyone who loves sport and all that comes with it and for those who value a sense of community spirit. Clear Eyes Full Hearts, Cant lose!
