Friday Night Lights
Friday Night Lightsfollows a high school football team who are the pillar of the community in the fictional small town of Dillon in rural West Texas. Featuring a star-studded cast of Kyle Chandler, Connie Britton, Taylor Kitsch and Jesse Plemons,Friday Night Lightsuses the small-town setting to confront hard-hitting issues such as family values, lack of economic opportunities and substance abuse.
AlthoughFriday Night Lightsis more intense thanCobra Kai,it’s similar in the sense that sport brings the community together and celebrates the difficulties of the underdog with humor and love. Despite coming to an end in 2011,Friday Night Lightsremains a must-watch for its enjoyable depiction of a town united by football.
