Friday Night Lights — 

I didn't watch this show during the first season because I thought it'd be very football-centric. Finally, after hearing my friends all raving about this show, I gave in and watched the entire season in 2 days. The first few episiodes, particularly the pilot, were definitely more football-centric than I care for but it was necessary to establish the plot and everyone's roles. The show still deals with football, obviously, but they've also incorporated a lot of character building. Everyone is nicely fleshed out and three-dimensional. The show doesn't use any soundstages and always shoot on location which makes for great cinematography. I really love the feel of the show and how you feel like you're right there in the action, whether it be the football games or in their houses. I highly recommend this show to everyone. For others out there who dislike football with a fiery passion, give the show a shot anyway!
