Friday Night Lights was one of the most beloved television series in recent memory. Based on the 2004 movie, the series followed the Dillon Panthers, a high school football team in a Texas community where football is worshiped.

In Dillon, Texas, football is a religion. Whether they like it or not, the characters of Friday Night Lights are put into distinct roles—all in relation to football—that they are expected to fill with expertise: player, coach, coach's wife, cheerleader. These labels are clean-cut and simple, but at times they can feel like a cage, and that's when things get interesting...
There are fewer things in life more powerful than a good pep talk. A handful of articulate words strung together like fairy lights have the power to illuminate the path we'd be missing on our own.

Friday Night Lights has enough juicy relationship drama to fill a year's worth of Soap Opera Digest magazines, yet the show's romances never veer off into melodrama. The characters are grounded, gritty, and relatable. The viewer feels like these people could be friends, neighbors, teammates...who just happen to have the steamiest love lives ever. That's what the whole show is about, right? The romance? Aren't the football scenes just buffers meant to give the audience an emotional break from all the longing and heartbreak?
