Editorial Reviews

NBC's critically acclaimed yet under-watched drama aired only 15 episodes of the planned 22 in 2007-8's Season 2, thanks to the Writers Guild Association strike. All 15 are collected here, and although the final episode leaves some storylines hanging, it's still a very worthy addition for Friday Night Lights fans. Season 2 picks up just before the new school year. Coach Taylor (Kyle Chandler), after leaving to coach a college team, soon realizes his heart remains in Dillon, along with his wife, Tami (Connie Britton), daughter, Julie (Aimee Teegarden), and new baby, Gracie. Trying to handle fatherhood, a new job, his lonely wife, and the long-distance commute home each weekend takes a toll. Booster club president Buddy (Brad Leland) exerts all his small-town charm in an effort to bring Coach Taylor back to the Panthers. Meanwhile, the relationship between dorky Landry (Jesse Plemons) and school sexpot Tyra (Adrianne Palicki) takes a tragic turn. Smash (Gaius Charles) focuses on choosing a university that will boost his chances of making it to the NFL; Matt (Zach Gilford) goes through hard times after he and Julie break up, but he rebounds with the nurse who is hired to take care of his grandmother; Lyla (Minka Kelly) casts off her destructive relationships and finds solace with a renewed faith in God -- and a new boyfriend; Jason (Scott Porter) battles his disability head on, discovering a new love in an unexpected place; and finally, bad boy Tim (Taylor Kitsch) moves out of his house into a depressingly bad situation.

April 06, 2009: Although not as outstanding as Season 1, Season 2 continues the strong acting and stories started in the first season. I am not a football fan, but I love this show, which deftly blends dramatic situations, strong characters, and humor. It is great for watching with older teenage children.

What Parents Need to Know

About Friday Night Lights - Season 2

Parents need to know that this sports drama -- like the movie it's based on -- centers on the coach and players of an elite high school football team in small-town Texas. There's constant tension between the community's desire to win games and the coach's goal of helping his players understand the inner strength they need to truly be winners. Racial tensions, underage drinking, and sexual tension are prevalent, and some of the football scenes can get pretty intense. Other mature issues include infidelity, abusive relationships, divorce, going to war, and more.

Families Can Talk About

Families can talk about the importance of sports in their community. Are high school games as big a deal in your town as they are on the show? What kind of pressures do the athletes (both the ones on TV and the ones in real life) face? What are some of the consequences of those pressures? How do parents and other adult role models help kids learn what success means? What defines success in your community? Are the teen characters on the show realistic? Why or why not?
