Friday Night Lights is a Football show I finally watched
This is a show that I have put off watching for a while. I never really thought it looked that interesting from the photo. Finally, I decided to give it a chance and I am glad that I did. The reason I watched it was because it kept coming up as a suggestion from Netflix. Also, a lot my friends had watched it and really like it, and I was like let me give it a try and see what I think.
Friday Night Lights takes place in Texas and it centered around a football and its city. Their life is basically football. It is a big part of the culture of their city. They all come together to come to enjoy this game. Friday Night Lights had me since the first episode and I couldn’t stop watching all 5 seasons. I love watching football and since this is the main component of the show, it kept me interested the whole time. The drama and people are all centered around this school and this game. It also does a great job with not always being about football which is hard to do. I enjoyed that cast, games, and the story line.
A lot of the cast members I have seen on other shows and didn’t realize they previously played on Friday Night Lights. Connie Britton, who plays Tami Taylor I first saw her play in Nashville and had no idea that she was in this show. Aimee Teegarden, who plays Julie Taylor, I had seen in the movie Prom. Minka Kelly, who plays Lyla Garrity, played on the movie The Roommate. Gaius Charles, who plays Smash, was on Greys Anatomy. Scott Porter, who plays Jason Street, is played on a show called Hart of Dixie. Michael B. Jordan, who plays Vince Howard, I have seen in various things like That Awkward Moment, Creed, Black Panther and other things. Jurnee Smollett, who plays Jess Merriweather, has played on Temptation. Cress Williams, who plays Ornette Howard, also starred in Hart of Dixie as Lavon. Every episode had me saying, “I didn’t know they played in this.” The list went on and on.
This show was great. I really didn’t expect to like it that much. The first season I liked a lot more towards the end of the show. I think overall it is a good watch and it had a good ending which made me happy. The last and the first episodes are two important things for every show. It marks the beginning and the end of the journey that a show and cast has gone through. This show did a great job with that. I have heard many people compare it to One Tree Hill and saying it is the football version. I think if you like One Tree Hill this might be a show that you might want to check out. If you watched Friday Night Lights, let me know what you think in the comments below. And as always The Show Must Go On.
