Ha … ever in search of something binge-watch worthy, I finally took on “Friday Night Lights,” after hearing it’s praises forever. Pleasantly surprised. Just started Season 4 … (spoiler) … it’s like a Tale of Two Cities … just when I was growing accustomed to the “Haves,” now we’re focusing on the “Have Nots” — much more interesting.
Worthy to note all of the (paid, I am sure) placements in the script by my beloved Texas Tech. Ha … I had forgotten that the genius Mike Leach had a cameo in the series. As much as I love Coach and his “inner pirate,” it was a pretty awkward placement, so I am assuming the school paid for that one too. Anyway … Guns Up East Dillon:)
Wish I had visited with this guy (Jesse Plemons) more when I met him at Dallas International Film Festival … only knew him from Breaking Bad at that time. Surprisingly, a much more multi-faceted role in the football epic.
Above all, surprising that the football scenes/scenarios are believable. Typically … sports films look so bogus. Ha … we coined a term back in the day — #BBS — for Bogus Basketball Scene for all the roundball misfires we have seen over the years. The coming-of-age scenes are pretty believable … and of course the series — like all others — pushes a liberal social agenda down our throats, point-by-point … But the sports fan finds themselves craving more of the gridiron action. Well played.
Lastly … very happy to report that someone calling themselves #SmashWilliams is now following us — @pingwifi — on Twitter. Does it get any better than that?
Know what I sayin?
