CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
heatherbri2003 And with this series, you just can't lose! Late to the party, I am binge watching this series on Amazon right now and I just can't stop. I literally have to make myself turn it off. Each ending finds me eager to continue on to the next episode.These characters are unbelievably brought to real-life. When they laugh, you laugh. When they hurt, you hurt. There is something about this show and the cast that brought these characters to life that makes you want to be a part. It is filled with real issues, real emotion and something that makes you long for them good-old high school days. This series will make you fall in love with every character. It might even make you fall in love with football. Texas, forever.
noa1729 I just finished watching its last episode and I am in episode and I am in absolute awe. I couldn't help but write one for this. FNL from its pilot has an ever growing impact on you till the very end. It has got plethora of riveting moments throughout the show. It covers the whole spectrum of emotions and relations exceptionally, for which a lot of credit goes to the background scores from Explosions in the sky, which are just beautifully embraced. Also it not only lives up to the expectations which are built over the entire course of the show, but surpasses them by culminating into a very pleasant and dignified ending. Give it a shot, you will be hooked. I have absolutely loved the show, I could relate to it in number of instances and so will you. FNL will make you want to be a better person.Clear eyes. Full heart...
ElessarAndurilS Friday Night Lights sat on my Netflix watch list for over a year before I gave it a chance. What a shock! I'm expecting a show about a football coach and a lot of game clips, instead I am quickly introduced to one of the best family drama's of excellent quality I've ever watched! Rare to see a positive drama in any context in recent years, yet this show portrays a loving couple and their family standing up for what is right in the face of a HIGHLY DYSFUNCTIONAL town with many dysfunctional people. But the story grows, and transitions in such an excellent way (excluding the abrupt end to season 2 I wasn't expecting - cut short by writers strike in 2008) the writing and story are excellent. Was casting 25 year old people as high school students a bit much, yes, but not uncommon... and when doing so to portray exceptional high school athletes; I totally get it, some of these high school football players DO LOOK 25 and they needed actors to look and play the part. Makes me give that a bye, along with the exceptionally pretty girls as that is also common practice.The important part was to me was how much of the story was character based, portrayed real life situations that as a parent I've had to deal with regardless of what I do because life happens to us all. As a father of 3 daughters some of it made me LMBO as Eric Taylor has to (try) and hold his temper in check and deal with his daughter growing up. I've said some of the things he said, and been in the same situations with some of my children so it really resonated with me as real. The transition from the Panthers to the Lions was a bit of a stretch as well with the first two seasons not really indicating there was a "wrong side of the tracks" in Dillon, but the shows introduction sequence does show a town with a lot of shuttered businesses, so it is not a stretch that there would be a lot of struggling families. True in so many small towns in this country.The best part was the shows ability to evolve and stay positive and life affirming in the effect this couple had on it and the way they ended it was very satisfying. One of the best quality family drama's I've seen.
ivan_jbj So...I am really out of words for this one. I must admit i picke it up later than I should have, but anyhow it never ceased to impress me and one of the very few shows that stays exticing through and through, from start to the very finish. I have never had a single dull moment with this show.The characters are believable and lovelable, amazing acting. It is full of tearjerker moments that you can't help at all. Kyle Chandler is simply amazing,even more so compared to Early Edition which I never thought would be possible as it's also one of my favorite shows. I believe there is no need to mention how lovely and great Connie Britton.Trust me, this is one show you don't want to miss. I do envy you if you are just about to watch it.
