Re: Friday Night Lights Season 2
Varsity Blues obviously owes something to FNL the book, but it's a cliche, hamfisted version of the story with that kind of stupid writing that can't just cope with somebody being a dick, but needs to make them fundamentally evil to position them as a villan.
FNL the series is one of the more sophsticatedly written (save the football) shows on TV. There's a decent amount of moral ambiguity and the characters register as real humans.
