But, I have a few issues with the show:
- how quickly Jason was able to start playing murderball and get around on his own
- how they were inconsistent with what grades everyone was in. One year, Tim and Lyla and Tyra are seniors, then they are again, and again. And if Matt and Landry were BFs, wouldn’t they have been in the same grade?
- what happened with Santiago?
- the problems they build up seem to suddenly disappear - Smash’s steroid use, Luke’s oxy addiction,
- they show could be so predictable at times. DH and I just watched the season 4 finale and we could see the ending coming from miles away.


Some of this was due to the writer's strike. Some of the more ridiculous plot lines were abandoned once the strike was over and they got rid of the scrub writers.

Taylor Kitsch was good in Bang Bang Club. Good accent too.

Sorry, not that kind of bang. But he's still very easy on the eyes in it.

Her autobiography was fascinating! She was polar opposite of her character, coming from a childhood with abuse, instability and drugs/alcohol.

This show is one of my all- time favorites, and I love, love, love Tim Riggins.

But for my money the best story arc was Vince's. Just pitch perfect, and executed by a truly fine actor.

He was a bit overweight in that one.

I'm not being hudgmental of those who love FNL, but I couldn't get into this particular show because of the teen characters and storylines. I understand they dealt with heavy issues, but the high school setting was not watchable for me.

Just such good character development. Imperfect people are so much more interesting.


I loved Tim. It was really cool how he was committed to his family and friends. I liked that he had a good ending that was realistic for the character. His dream was to stay in Dillon and get his own land, and he did.

So many shows have these amazing fantasy endings for the characters, but this was so much more true. Some people go and chase a dream far away, and some people buy a home where they grew up. Lylah went to college and became a businesswoman, but she came back home and reconnected with him. That was a great ending.


It was Tyrah that he connected with again. And that was perfect for the two characters.


At the time, apparently they wanted Minka Kelly for that scene but couldn't get her - she was off making a movie.

Thanks. I always mix up those names. The Tyrah actress and Tim actor had great chemistry.

I would say this is actually a good recommendation since you clearly think highly of yourself and what you think merits attention (and it isn't this show to you) yet you are on Season 5.

Tim character was so compelling. He started as a kid who has a strong sense of self but didn't always do the right thing. He grew up and discovered the difference between right and wrong. But it was a consistent character he was never ever a bad kid or unfeeling and uncaring. He was always someone true to himself and never deviated from his love of Dillon. Of all the characters Tim was the one who was the wisest but who led the messiest life - turned down scholarship, took the fall in jail, etc. but he was also the one who everyone came to respect.

I'm not a sports person, but that show made me finally understand the importance of the role that high school sports plays in the lives of teens and see the value in it.

They were really down on their luck - her childhood was a nightmare.
