DVD Reviews of Friday Night Lights: The Second Season

DVD Review: One of my favorite television shows
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great show to watch for anyone who likes Texas charm, drama and needs a little escape. It surprises me that this show was never really popular, the story line is interesting and the acting looks effortless. I'm not really a fan of football as it's not a popular sport in my country but the football scenes are exciting. I don't like this second season just as much as the first and the third one, but it's watching it is still a very nice way to spend a few rainy days. Okay I have to add: most of these actors look gorgeous.

DVD Review: Nothing deep for this review
Summary: 4 Stars

Just a short one -- Friday Night Lights 2 is a heart-warming and sometimes funny show. Many times it makes me laugh; sometimes it takes me back to my high schoold days in the States.
There are shortcomings though, the worst of it being the "ending", which clearly does not qualify for the word. What happened to the season's final games? What happened to, well, every lines of the whole story? It just leaves you saying, "What the heck?" Also, I think there are way too many similar storylines on teenage love affairs. The plots keep repeating and repeating, and you wonder why they cannot develop something else. Anyway, it is still pretty good overall, and I would recommend it to anyone with an interest to American football.

DVD Review: GREAT
Summary: 5 Stars

FNL is one of the best shows. EVER.
DVDs worked great, came quickly

DVD Review: Great show, great actors, great directing!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great show! All of the characters are very likable, even if they are not nice. The actors all do a great job with their roles. You will fall in love with the people from Dillon and go away wanting more.

DVD Review: Incomplete season
Summary: 3 Stars

This is truly one of the best series on TV. Great casting. Great story lines. But, amazingly, incomplete. Not only are not all of the episodes included in the 4 disc set, but the ENDING episode was not included. Like reading a good book with the last chapter left out. so when you start the the third season (also incomplete) you don't know what the heck happened between the last episode on the DVD of 2 and the first episode on the DVD of 3. I felt cheated and swindled.

Description of Friday Night Lights: The Second Season

Friday Night Lights shines brighter than ever as the critically acclaimed series arrives in a 4-disc collection in 5.1 surround sound! From producers Brian Grazer (The Da Vinci Code), Peter Berg (The Kingdom) and Jason Katims and inspired by the best-selling book and hit film, Friday Night Lights provides a heartfelt look at the families, friendships, and faiths of residents in a closely knit Texan town. Featuring an incredible ensemble cast, this intense and compelling show has critics saying "there is no finer or truer drama on network TV" (Matt Roush, TV Guide).
Friday Night Lights is deeply entrenched in the world of football and teamwork, but the series transcends sports and delves into rich, human relationships that at times are heartbreakingly real. A compelling drama, the show also features one of the strongest (and best looking) ensemble casts. The second season fulfills the promise of its debut. Full of drama, heart, and superb acting, the series is set in fictional Dillon, Texas--a town where everyone lives and breathes football. The first season had Coach Eric Taylor (Kyle Chandler) accepting a college coaching job, while his pregnant wife Tami (Connie Britton) and their 16-year-old daughter Julie (Aimee Teegarden) stayed behind in Dillon. Unfulfilled by his diminished duties and cognizant of the fact that he no longer is the head guy who calls all the shots, Eric returns to the Dillon Panthers. Meanwhile, Julie breaks up with starting quarterback Matt Saracen (Zach Gilford), who ends up finding love with a young nurse's aide. Paralyzed football hero Jason Street (Scott Porter) tries to find his place in the world, moving out of his parents' home and accepting--and then quitting--an assistant coaching job with the Dillon Panthers. And bad boy Tim Riggins (Taylor Kitsch) gets thrown off the squad and ends up squatting in a meth dealer's home before Coach Taylor temporarily takes him in. But the strongest storyline belongs to Gaius Charles, who is pitch perfect as cocky star runningback Brian "Smash" Williams. Ensured a spot on a university with an elite football program, Williams believes that he is unstoppable. When a run-in with some racist kids turns into a media frenzy, the school rescinds its invitation and Smash finds himself scrambling to get into any school, regardless of its football program. A powerful actor who is equally adept at portraying a strutting football hero as he is a humbled teen, Charles conveys passion as well as numbing reality. Season two also deals with the aftermath of Tyra Collette (Adrianne Palicki) and Landry Clarke (Jesse Plemons), who try to cover up a murder. While the storyline is flawed and implausible, the actors do a stellar job with the material. It is also sweet to watch the couple's relationship--initially based on desperation--forge into a strong friendship and romance. Things don't always end neatly, but that only adds to the drama of Friday Night Lights. Look for series writer Peter Berg to guest star as Tami's former high-school boyfriend and Eric's nemesis. If the finale seems a little disjointed, it is because of the 2008 writers strike, which forced the series to truncate its episodes from a planned 22 episodes to just 15. The four-disc set also includes audio commentary and almost 40 minutes of deleted footage. --Jae-Ha Kim
