My friends kept telling me to watch this show, but I didn't listen.  I like football, but I sure didn't want to watch an hour-long drama about it.  One night when I was sick, I started watching an episode online.  I watched all the episodes online before I got well, and anxiously awaited the next week.  The characters are so believable, I feel like I know them.  I remember all their names, because they seem real.  I love the football scenes because they anchor all the stories and give the characters something to experience together (in different ways), but it's not at all about football, it's about these people.  The show is beautifully shot, with beautiful actors.  The art direction is phenomenal.  I completely believe the houses, the school, the town, the football stadium.  The music they use in the soundtrack is always just right, and nothing in the atmosphere of the show ever seems like product placement.  I'm so glad it made it to the second season, and I hope it lasts a long, long time.
