    Simply the best
    Probably one of the best all around shows Ive ever watched. I grew up in Dallas so this really brings back some great memories of high school football. This show captures everything Texas and is such a good show. Don't worry It's not just about high school football and it touches on so many subjects I won't try and list them out. One thing is for sure though, I guarantee you will experience every emotion a human being can go through during the course of this series. If high school football is not your thing it won't matter. The writing, the directing, the music and above all the acting, will take you places no other show will take you. Yeah it's that good. Just Give it 3 episodes before you make any decisions. It takes that long to get to know the characters and get familiar with the show. When it's all over and you finish the last episode, you will sit back and say to yourself, "crap that just might be the best series I've ever watched"... You will have Clear Eyes and Full Hearts... watch the show and you will never forget that phrase... Peter Berg well done on this one and last but not least.... Texas Forever...
