Finished Season 3 of Friday Night Lights

[NBAplayoffs2001]

Amazing show so far

They need one for basketball for like a high school Chicago team.

[Knicks101]

Grats dude, you can make it the rest of the way. I believe in you.

I'm interested, but what makes it so good?

High school kids and their problems don't really interest me

any social commentary? humor?

Well I kind of miss high school. There is occasional subtle humor but the acting being so superb is what really keeps me going.

It's just high quality writing, production, and acting that makes it good. First three season are particularly strong besides a storyline in season 2. The social commentary on Texas small town culture is nice but it's secondary to the character development which is superb.

Yeah, and that particular storyline in season 2 is the only weakness in the show to me. If that's the worst that can be said about it, then they did pretty well for themselves.

If you like sports, you should watch the show. Especially if you watch football. I've never watched a full football game in my life (I only watch basketball) but it doesn't make any difference to me.

Excellent show from top to bottom, and classy as hell too.

That gif though . By far one of my favorite characters in the show

Which storyline in season 2? Jason street? He should've ****ed off after season 1.

Landry and Tyra aka Bonnie and Clyde story

[step_back]

It's brilliant. I thought it was just going to be a soppy teenage drama like The O.C and One tree hill. Could not have been more wrong.

Landry and Tyra aka Bonnie and Clyde story

lol

Landry didn't make much sense. Season 1 matt is a sophomore and isn't revealed that Landry is actually a Grade below matt until matt graduates (Landry goes to the poor school). So Landry, a freshman in HS, is driving Matt to school every day. Must've got held back because freshman usually can't drive legally.

Yeah, that was weird. It was tough to get a grasp on what grades anybody was in to be honest.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

There's a lot of social commentary. Religion, race, classes, disability, PEDs in sports, sex expectations in relation to gender, Texas culture in general. It's all a major part of the show from the second episode on (and the pilot is maybe the best pilot I have ever seen for a show). When you see the segregated-like churches, Matt's life, etc. That's all very much looked into early on. Terrific show.

Eric Taylor, Tami Taylor, and especially Matt Saracen are three of my favorite characters of all time. Matt's story and character development is heart-something... Also I'm not big on marriage, but whatever Eric and Tami have on the show, I want it.

Season 4 is my second favorite season and the series finale was truly done right. Enjoy it.

Amen to that. I remember reading that quite a few working on the show actually thought Kyle and Connie were sleeping together off-set because their on-set chemistry was so insane. There's a Grantland piece that touches on that and much more. A great read, but anyone still watching beware of spoilers.

Jason was excellent. I am glad that he wasn't around the entire series, but his role in the show was so important that there is no way he could just be erased from the landscape like that -- and I'm happy he wasn't.
