Cityfan Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I'm halfway through season 4 and just wondering if anyone knows what the general reaction from fans and critics was like at them going in this direction? I'd go digging myself but I'm scared to for fear of spoilers. I was really apprehensive and pretty pissed off to begin with but I have to say I'm loving it just as much as the first 3 seasons now. The only negative is that Minka Kelly is no longer around 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jambo-rocker Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I'm halfway through season 4 and just wondering if anyone knows what the general reaction from fans and critics was like at them going in this direction? I'd go digging myself but I'm scared to for fear of spoilers. I was really apprehensive and pretty pissed off to begin with but I have to say I'm loving it just as much as the first 3 seasons now. The only negative is that Minka Kelly is no longer around I think they were quite cynical at first from what I saw. Honestly, I found the change of making the Dillon Panthers dislikable all of a sudden a fairly ballsy move that I could take or leave. IMO they certainly amplified the antagonist's stupidity on it more which annoyed me immensly. I was actually thinking to myself watching through the middle of season five just how much the cast has changed from the first three seasons. Don't give up hope 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cityfan Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) Caught up with my sky recordings last week and couldn't resist just downloading the rest. What an incredible and powerful drama from start to finish. If it had not been for Landry's ridiculous murder storyline in season 2, it would have been the perfect show. As for the ending... Perfect. Happy endings all round is exactly how I want my TV shows wrapped up! The scenes between the Taylors and Matty during the finale were gold, I'm going to watch it again just for those scenes! There's a big hole in my TV viewing life now Edited July 12, 2013 by Rossco1893 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cityfan Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 The complete box set is out next month for £25. I've just Pre-ordered mine as I'm suffering badly from a FNL hangover. I've just not got any interest in starting another show quite yet, would rather watch this all over again first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the first series ages ago but a full box set would be brilliant. Think I've already watched this 3 times over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a big hole in my TV viewing life now Yeah, I broke and decided to power through the last three episodes as well. Coach Taylor's face when Matt asked for his permission to Marry Julie. I was never into American Football, but it certainly made me care quite a bit for it. I also liked how they changed things up in season four, making the Dillon Panthers out to be the bad guys, bringing some of the lesser used characters into the limelight. Gracie Bell must be the ugliest child to ever appear on television. She looks like a fucking alien. No way could Connie Britton and Kyle Chandler with genes like theirs, produce something that sub-human. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozam76 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Finally got around to watching the end of this. It's a sad realisation that this programme is no more, although it was all tied up beautifully. Some of the best characters on TV, in particular Eric Taylor, who I have decided I want to be when I grow up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shtuggie Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Smashed through seasons 3 -5 as had seen seasons 1 and 2. Brilliant. Almost gutted to have finally finished - no more left! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groaninjock Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I just got round to watching the final episode Loved Coach Taylor's discussion with Matt Saracen when he asked for permission to marry Julie. Kyle Chandler absolutely nailed it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Easy Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Talk me through where all the "scum" from East Dillon were meant to be in the first three series? Or was that Matt, Big Tim and Smash? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Stubbs Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Halfway through the second series of this. Possibly the cheesiest, most cliched show of all time but I fucking love it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Halfway through the second series of this. Possibly the cheesiest, most cliched show of all time but I fucking love it. It's absolutely fantastic. And the talent on show doesn't hurt it either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Halfway through the second series of this. Possibly the cheesiest, most cliched show of all time but I fucking love it. I'm the exact same. It doesn't pretend to be anything other than cheesy American shite, but it's brilliant. Lyla Garrity though.......... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
