dangermousieI have watched the pilot episode of Friday Night Lights, a show that follows a football-mad small West Texas town, and...
I am in love.
I haven't fallen so hard and so fast for an American show dince the pilot of Veronica Mars, all those years ago.
I know nothing about football - I did go to high school in a small Southern town so this show is a mixture of very familiar - the accents and the niceness and pervasiveness of religion (it's like my high school in that way, even if I never paid attention to football) and the strange - the rest of it is rather like science fiction to me - unfamiliar but recognizable.
Mr. Mousie, though shocked I wanted to watch a show about high-school football, wanted to watch the pilot with me and he loved it as much as I did (probably more - he played football in high school and said so much of this was familiar). Now he wants to watch the whole show with me. YESSS.
This ep was an introduction to all the characters. I like the Coach, adore his wife, and think their daughter is a really believable teenager. Smash might be my favorite so far, together with Tim Riggins (so abrasive, so built like a truck, so pretty).
Matt Saracen seems like a good guy (I want to make him soup), I am totally in love with Tim's slutty girlfriend (she is AWESOME) and I feel dreadfully sorry for Jason Street and his gf Lyla.
Anyway, this is SO GOOD. You guys, so GOOD.
Why did it take me this long to check this out?
