hollow Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Apologies for dropping into this thread without reading previous posts, but I am avoiding spoilers -- have heard great things about Friday Night Lights, and just checked NetFlix and it's on DVD. I had no idea there were 2 seasons on DVD already. I'm assuming this is probably a biased thread, but would you all recommend this show? I'm looking for some good NetFlix suggestions, and need some TV series to fill the void from the writer's strike and upcoming holiday TV season (which is usually repeats and xmas specials). It be helpful to know something like, "if you like x, then you'll like y" or the opposite. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 There's been one season of FNL, which is now available on DVD, and the second season is now in first-run on NBC. I cannot recommend the first season highly enough. The pace is slower than many TV dramas, but you'll still find yourself on the edge of your seat on a regular basis. Emotional without being manipulative, realistic relationships, just beautiful. The storylines are verging on outlandish in the second season, but trust me, the first season is some of the most amazing television you'll ever see. I'm also a huge fan of Rescue Me, and I know more than one season of that is available on DVD. It's terrifying and harsh and filthy and hilarious. You'll be on the edge of your seat watching the firefighting scenes, and you'll cringe at every personal interaction (these are not healthy people). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We've watched all the Rescue Me seasons on DVD, just finished them up and of course the cliff-hanger season ending is frustrating because of the wait for the next season to be on DVD. Knowing you liked both is exactly what I was looking for, similar interests, thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also, since you're looking for recommendations - The Wire (HBO) is maybe the best show I've ever seen. There have been four seasons broadcast so far (fifth coming up, I believe) and season four is being released on DVD next month. Start at season one, sit back, and prepare to be entertained, amazed, exhilarated, confused, & devastated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great writing (lots of Big Lebowski references), great acting, etc. There's at least 2 seasons out on DVD and the third may possibly be out. Of course, it's been cancelled so 3 seasons is it.
