Watch it at Amazon
After watching season 1 I could honestly say this show was worth a 9. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I felt it was a good departure from the every day sitcom and TV shows on broadcast television. Most of the characters were well developed, the stories were varied and hard hitting and the acting was very well done. The only gripe I have had about it are the football scenes. These have been extremely unbelievable because the team has to come from behind in nearly every game. How is it possible that a state championship team barely ever dominates games and has difficulties with nearly every opponent?? The actual game scenes barely consume any of the show though, so it can be taken as a minor flaw.I was stoked to watch the new season when it came on in the Fall, but I was less than enthralled. The problem I find is that the show has started to focus the stories way too much on the romantic relationships of the characters. At times, I found myself wondering if the show was going to be comprised of anything else. I guess the show is at a high school, and relationships are what high schools tend to gravitate towards, but that wasn't the case as much in the stellar first season. The first season had it's share of boy/ girl drama, but there was much more to the show to keep the viewer intrigued (Streets struggle with the wheelchair, Smash and his superstar dreams, Riggins being parent-less, etc.)I feel this is a tactic that NBC has deployed so that it can appeal more to the teen audience. I will probably give FNL another chance, but if the shows remain love centric, than I'm calling it quits.
