Friday Night Lights






This long weekend has been the perfect excuse to indulge in some couchtime.

Mad March is taking its toll on me - I haven't had so many big nights since my uni days! 

So I've taken to 'recovering' under the fan on the couch these past few days and have become obsessed with yet another American TV series.

This one is a bit more deep than Hart of Dixie - it's critically acclaimed and received rave reviews in the US.

Friday Night Lights is awesome. It's got everything - romance, sport, teenage angst. Love. It.

I'm halfway through the first season - there are five seasons all up and I'm champing at the bit to get through them all.

And the best bit? George Tucker from Hart of Dixie is in it - he's star Quarterback Jason Street and he's just as cute. And I'm smitten with Coach Taylor. His wife is just gorgeous too. 

So many likable characters.

And it's sooooo American. We don't have anything like it in Australia. It must be crazy being a teenager in Texas, how I would've loved to do a high school exchange back in the day!

Clear Eyes. Full Heart. Can't Lose.

Tom Riggins? Really, Abbey? I'm warming to him, I just want to comb his hair and get it out of his face! I am definitely a Jason Street fan x

Kate said...

Lindsey, I knew you'd be all over this! It's awesome, the Taylors are the best TV couple. Any other US series I should add to my list? Ps. Is high school really like that over there?! X

Kate said...

Kate, you will LOVE it! It's Hart of Dixie with soul. A lot deeper and more touching but still entertaining. I'm hooked, my couch has a permanent bum sag where I've been camped! X

Just a little warning that American TV shows are not a true reflection of American life, not at all. Also, most of the southern accents on these shows are fake, probably just as much as when they portray Aussies on American TV. Love your blog!

Kate said...

T, bring on that Freaky Friday swap xxxx

Julie you have me intrigued! I cringe with Aussie accents on American TV so I can imagine how much the Southern accents must grate on you.

Hope you stop by again soon!
