Friday Night Lights

Friday Night Lights is a television drama about high school football in Texas. When I first started watching this series, I mistakenly thought the show was going to focus on the fanatical nature of high school football in a small southern town. However, after watching only a few episodes I realized that the show is primarily about the tragedies and triumphs of adolescence. It is about their relationships and their struggle to fulfill their hopes and dreams for the future. You don’t have to be a football fan to identify with the characters in this drama. My wife is not a sports fan, but loves this series.
