^ and, yah, it made me cry. It reminded me of one of my old college friends.

+1 Probably my favorite show, ever.

But agree with a PP that season 2 is cringy. It was during the writer's strike and it shows.

That's also the the season with the best scene of the whole series. (You all know which one I'm talking about.) So still very much worth watching.

Coach and Matt in a bathroom? This is the scene that has stayed with me.

That episode was on the other night. Weird.

Friday Night Lights--no question. GG is so annoying, especially when you watch it streaming; it highlights the stupidity.

They're both fabulous! I'd alternate.

+1. Texas Forever.

Do you have a spouse? If so, watch Friday Night Lights together. At its heart, it's a show about a marriage.

I haven't watched Gilmore Girls but from what I hear, watch that by yourself while on leave from work.

I second the vote for both. Try FNL first, I suppose, since you haven't seen it before. Like the others said, season 2 isn't too good - but the show is still very bingeworthy.

Plus, love watching Coach Taylor. Yummy.

FNL is the opposite of dark. It is real and sometimes very sad, but it is always redemptive. It is a terrific, terrific show.

I loved the first season of FNL and the book it's based on is also fantastic. By Buzz Bissinger.

FNL is one of my all-time favorite series!!! So GOOD
