It pains me to give this show anything less than five stars. Like many, though not all, who watch this show, I loved the first season, even going out on a limb to say it is one of the best single seasons of television I have ever seen, if not the best.
But the second season falters as soon as it begins, in the lead off episode. And, if you have yet to watch this season, please stop reading here, as I will be giving away some spoliers and what have you and I do not want to ruin anything for you.
The murder subplot that ran through parts of the season is simply inane. It feels false, unfocused, and brings every episode that it is featured to a dramatic hault. What's strange is it this sort of sensationlism that the show avoided in it's first year. Other subplots--- such as Jason Street's little trip to Mexico--- also feel false and uninspired, the work of the writers trying to amp ratings to keep the show on the air.
The season smooths out as it goes along however, and after a few episodes the show returns to it's past glory. The acting, like previously, is universally strong (how Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton, amongst others in the cast, cannot get nominated for more awards is astounding and ridiculous to me), and the story lines alternate between amusing (Tim Riggins continues attempts to woe Lyla Garrity) to heart breaking (pretty much anything dealing with Smash Williams and Matt Seracen).
The attempt to get higher ratings is totally okay with me. A decent "Friday Night Lights" is still better than most shows best hours. And though this season falters at the start, it ends strong and, sadly, far to abruptly.
'Friday Night Lights" second season may not be as strong as it's first, but I'm sure nothing could have been. But it is still a compelling, often brilliant collection of episodes, and essential for fans of the show, book or movie.

The set design on Friday Night Lights is the best on network TV, hands-down. It saves the show from the run-of-the-milldom you might expect from a teen football melodrama set in a small Texas town.
Fine-grained details of everyday life and stuff perfectly complement the characters, round them up, and cancel out the hints of manipulation in the writing. There's not a single false, interior-decorated-looking shot, anywhere. The designers have recreated this small-town, small house, trailer-park, posters-tacked-up-on-dirty-walls, wires-and-cords everywhere, messy-stuff-from-Walmart world so faithfully, and in such minute detail, that you forget you're seeing a constructed set. It feels exactly like a documentary. The hand-held, low-light, beautiful camera-work complements the sets perfectly. This is a well-constructed, well-thought-out, artful world. (If only the writing was this good -- but some of the plot-lines are clearly just that -- plot.)
The actors are great, too -- Connie Britton is riveting to watch, and all of the actors have an easy, natural, unaffected style with each other and toward the camera that can't be an accident -- it has to be part of a method and philosophy of direction that is specific to this show, down to the people who light the sets and shop for the props. In its attention to those tiny details (if not the writing), Friday Night Lights belongs in the same category as cable-tv greats like The Sopranos, Mad Men and The Wire. It's worth watching. I'm rooting for it to make a third season.

"Friday Night Lights" is deeper than the previews show. It is a brilliant mix of great acting, directing, and a believable plot line. You really get involved with the characters.
This season is not as good as the first season, which is near perfect, but this season is still better than 98% of what's on TV. The season finale.. doesn't feel like a season finale thanks to the writer's strike.
It just got renewed, too! I'm so happy. If you haven't seen the show before, go buy both seasons. It's a great show, and I'm happy to have invested my time in it!

With all the trash that is broadcast on TV these days, I can't understand why NBC would do away with a decent show like this one ---- one that has exceptional acting and a great story line. Surely there are many of us who want this show to continue whether on NBC or some other network. I won't give up hope just yet.

This series had everything: great concept, fine actors, excellent scripts. Then some lame-o decided that it would be cool to film it with all kinds of random spastic zooming, rapid cutting, and, worst of all, unsteady cam--you know, the image shakes as if some drunk were recording it without SteadyShot or some other image stabilization. Many viewers are sickened by this faux amateur camera work. People wonder why this series didn't catch on. Well, the reason is quite obvious: the camera work is, literally, quite nauseating. What a shame!
