   It is difficult to write a review that does this show justice. Being from a small town this show hits close to home in both accuracy and emotional touch. Yet I have many friends who were grew up in metro areas who have equal love for this show. Many shows lose the magic they once had when they began, but FNL continues to get better with age.

   Having almost been cancelled following each of its first three seasons a last minute deal between NBC and DirecTV fortunately saved the show allowing one of the best drama series of all time two more years to finish on its own terms. The concept of a TV centred on a high school football team in Texas will always be a hard sell to audiences here in the UK but anyone who has watched Friday Night Lights up to this point will know it is about far more than that. Continuing the development of Dillon’s residents, including many of the new East Dillon cast members that were introduced in season four, each and every storyline is able to reach a natural and emotional conclusion.

   This show was a bit of guilty pleasure viewing for me in the sense that I usually watch quite dense shows like Deadwood, The Wire and Breaking Bad. That being said, the casting on this show is second to none. Every character seems perfectly placed. While the first three seasons were the standout ones, it almost doesn't matter when it comes down to what this show was really about. It could be quite melodramatic at times, but the goldmine of this show was the depiction of a strong marriage. I'm not aware of any other show that casts marriage in such shining light. The coach and his wife showed that sometimes values can be interesting and inspiring. No small feat.… Expand

   The first 3 seasons were great, but during the 4th season the show started to loose some of its shine, and this season it is just straight up covered in rust. I'll watch the remainder of the episodes for the sake of closure.… Expand
