Watch It: The Best Show On TV Is Friday Night Lights

Friday Night Lights is the best show on television. Period.

This show is about a small town in Texas, where the only way out is football. The main characters are the coach, his wife (now the principal of the shool), and many of the players. The focus is on the interactions amongst the community where they live. Some are rich, but most are poor and trying to create a decent life.

Besides having phenomenal acting, and extraordinarily realistic portrayals of real relationships as they actually are in life, there are recurrent and well realized themes of:
a. Friendships
b. Hardships/challenges
c. Teamwork
e. Integrity
f. Resilience

Now anyone who knows me for even a second knows I do not watch football, but I watch this show online every week. And every week, I am moved out of myself and left wanting to try to be a better person because of it. That is a lot to say about a TV show.

Please enjoy it here. And start at the beginning of season one, all the episodes are there.....
