Featured review
One of the most underrated shows of all-time
Friday Night Lights is one of all-time favorite shows. It's is so criminally underrated it's ridiculous! It is just an absolute amazing show! The show is based off the book and the film but is so much better than even those two. It takes place in the small Texas town of Dillon, Texas and takes place at one of the best football high schools...the Dillon Panthers. Coach Taylor (Kyle Chandler) leads the team through pressure filled seasons full of expectations and helps his players both on and off the field. He also has to deal with the everyday struggles of his own family. Even though the football story line is great, it is so much more than that. If you read the reviews you'll see 90% of them are 9's & 10's and most have one thing in common and that's that they didn't give it a chance until years after it went off the air. Once you start watching you can't stop.
