all five series of one of the greatest tv dramas of all time! Universally critically acclaimed series about a high school football team in the fictional town of dillon, texas.   what the press said ultimately what makes the show stand apart is its faith in humanity. Where breaking bad and the sopranos unpick the dark heart of the american dream, friday night lights is an optimistic hymn to the nation that wrought it. It knows life isn't perfect or wonderful, that terrible things happen – but it tells us too that life is worth living, that friends are worth celebrating and that even the smallest of dreams can be worth chasing. It is a show unafraid to wear its heart on its rough edged sleeve, and all the more welcome for it. – guardian release date  8th july 2019
