"Friday Night Lights (FNL) is a must see ! Three season have already been released and two more on the way . This series depicts the human struggle in ways that makes it seems so relevant and on point . It struggles to be what people might imagine it to be . Simply because FNL strives to be more then what is normally aspected of a TV show on network television based on a movie that was based on a game (football) . The show is not about a game , it' s about the PEOPLE whos' lives just happens to evolve around a game ."

"Renewed for an unheard of next, two seasons ... first on Direct TV and then, NBC!! Season 4 airs on NBC beginning Friday, April 30, 2010. Check your local listings for time.
Friday Night Lights has long been a favorite of the critics. And it has been tossed around the time slots to where I lost track of it. But I found it again, ordered the 3 season DVDs and am all caught up.
This is THE best written, best acted, best cast show on television today. The unique three-camera filming technique gives the show a free form, real, documentary feel. Even though the show revolves around a small town's obsession of with championship high school football team, the show is not so much about football, as it is about the people in the town.
I promise you that the Pilot episode is the best pilot ever shot in the history of television. By its end, you are immediately invested in the town and every one of its characters.
I have not fallen in love with a show in years ... or invested the time to watch. But I can't recommend this one highly enough. Each cast member is as good as the next. Each character plays off one another in such a believable and convincing way.
Don't miss the chance to catch up before the new season airs on NBC.
