    WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
    Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
    Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
    Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
    shannon_walford Addicted and obsessed in this show, and am now feeling empty and lost now that I've finished watching it. Seriously one of the best shows I've watched, casting and screenplay on point!
    stephenmcknight i was a fan off the movie this series was based on and the TV series did justice to the movie and Texas love of football.it also deal with issue around everyday life, that affected the team very well and in Kyle Chandler they had an excellent lead for this series.the young crew around him did there job well, and the football scenes were well put together and were good backdrop to the story off the team.the women in Friday night lights had good roles as well, Connie britton did a good job as the coach wife working around her husband job and bringing up the kids.overall an excellent sports drama series based on one of the better sport movies i seen.
    julietcb I did not like Friday Night Lights, and honestly I finished it only because I did not have anything else to watch and I'm really curious so I had to know how it ended. Maybe it's because I'm from Canada and not a small Texas town,but I did not relate to nor cared about any of the characters at all. Seriously, anytime any character did anything, I was like ''nooo that wouldn't happen in real life''... And also, what's up with all the plot lines being dropped all the time?? like so many time something happened and we wouldn't have any explanation or follow up! Just to name a few: 1) Landry killed a guy and his policeman father burned the car with the evidence in it and after a few episode it's like ''oh it was self defense so its okay'' and then its never mentioned again... um what? Cases like this can take months or even years to figure out, what the hell? 2) Lyla ran a car in her father's car dealership and smashed several cars because she was angry and its literally never mentioned after!!! First of all, you have to be crazy and not okay mentally to do something like that, you don't do that when you're a normal ''angry'' teenager... ughh thats so dumb. 3) A lot of characters got jobs out of nowhere without interviews or diplomas or skills, but just because they wanted to? ugh. Anyway, what i'm trying to say is that the show is not realistic, the characters are not relatable and the story lines are often dropped and we have no closure. There are too many characters in this show and some of them just randomly disappear and it's frustrating. Even the finale didn't satisfy me. And finally, I have to mention the fact that the actors they hired to play ''teenagers'' are VERY obviously too old to be teenagers and that's just stupid.
    cahyantochristian At first I struggled with the pilot but I stuck with it and thank goodness I did. There are two parts to this show. The first part is my favourite but the second isn't too bad either. I shall explain below...There are some characters I had hated, rooted for and grew on. No two characters are the same and they all had their good and and not so good characteristics. In the end, I loved them all in their own ways. If you are worried this show might be the "typical" teenage show it is far from it. FNL involves teenage romance, friendship and stereotypes. But it also has real-life themes and problems. And of course, American football but it is a small part of what this incredible TV show has to offer. Once you watch this show you feel as though you are part of this family, team and community in this small Texas town. You go through their ups and downs, cheer them on when they are happy or feel their sadness during a tough time. I think this is what makes the show so great. If I haven't convinced you, just watch it, you will not regret it. But be warned, you will go through an emotional roller coaster as it unfolds but miss it everyday once its gone. Remember. Clear eyes, full hearts.
