I have a confession to make: When I first heard about NBC creating a show based on the movie Friday Night Lights, I was a bit skeptical. Let’s face it, television shows based on movies don’t exactly have the best of track records.
Not having seen the movie, I then discovered that the show, like the movie, was about high school football. I wrote it off. I don’t like football, and never really have. So not only was NBC creating a show based on a movie, it was based on a football movie.
My verdict at the time? Complete crap and a waste of my time.
I was WRONG!
I saw that Friday Night Lights was available to watch on Hulu, and being a little bored and lazy during one of my rare downtime days, I watched the first 5 episodes of season 1.
WOW!
Yes, football is an element of the story, but it’s not all there is. The storylines of the shows I watched were truly amazing, and I wanted to keep watching so that I would know what would happen next.
Of course, there is only so many hours in a day, and only so many downtime days I get with school, so trying to catch up will take me some time, but I am truly looking forward to it.
Below is the very first episode of the show. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did!
Hulu has removed the first episode (and probably some others) so I have removed the embedded video from this post.
