FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS (TV series)

Okay, so Chelsea Handler has told me to watch it about a million times, and I didn’t listen because I don’t have Direct TV or whatever network deal they finally resorted to in attempts to find an audience. It’s on NBC as well now, by the way.  More importantly, the first 3 seasons are on Netflix instant viewing, a discovery that has made my holiday downtime rife with obsession.

I love this show.  Which is a little weird, considering I generally dislike things like country music and politeness.  I’ve never seen such emotional intensity worked into a show whose most common phrases are “Yes, sir,” “No, ma’am,” and “I appreciate that.”  Despite all the melodrama, it still manages to feel realistic.
