Good!
When the series was still going I believe it was season 3 or 4 when I started watching and wondered why it was I had not been watching this from the start. I had seen the movie and thought it was good, but never intrigued to watch the series. Recently I had just bought the first season and this is by far one of the best series i've watched in a long time. Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton really sell their chemistry on screen and depict a more true to real life setting on how couples really are. Highly recommend!

Top Football Series
Friday Night Lights is simply fantastic. Overall the series is awesome and quite addictive, Glad to have it as part of my boxset collection :)
Though critically acclaimed by much of the television press, Friday Night Lights has remained largely under the radar. It's a shame, because this show is FANTASTIC! It's a drama that focuses squarely on real, developed characters in a small Texas town: people you can relate to instead of glamorous doctors or gritty, melodramatic detectives. At the heart of the show is the relationship between Coach Eric Taylor (Kyle Chandler--most recently known as the "bomb squad guy" from, yes, that glamorous doctor show on Thursday nights) and his wife Tammy (played by Connie Britton). The dialogue and attitudes between the two are so real and so engrossing that it feels like you're peeping in their living room window. Yes, there IS football in this show, but it's more like a backdrop to the peoples' lives, the soundtrack to their everyday existence. The first few episodes may take some time to get into until one becomes familiar with the characters, but soon enough the show becomes addictive as the Panthers claw their way through Coach Taylor's first season. The only drawback to this very affordable DVD set is the lack of special features; save for a few deleted scenes and one very brief documentary, there are no extras on this set. The show speaks for itself though, and it's one not to be missed!
