    Don't know if anyone has seen or even heard of this show, but I have to say I think it is amazing. Started watching yesterday and already about 10 episodes in, love it.

    Based around a Texan High School Football Team, and is the type of show you can get hooked to very easily.

    All 5 seasons are made and all so no waiting around :50:

    It's a great show,been watching it on Sky Atlantic,upto season 3 now and it just gets better.There's a movie as well,unrelated to the tv show,with Billy Bob Thornton as the coach.They are both based on a book following a season of a real Texan school football team.The movie's worth watching as well,can't comment on the book

    I've seen the film mate, it's brilliant :50:
    It's unrelated in terms of characters etc, but definitely shares a lot in common with the show.

    Glad to hear that it gets better.

    Read the book when I was in High School. If you're interested in the series or movie, I suggest reading the book because it goes into such deep detail

    Just caught up on few episodes I have recorded on the sky box. Into season 3 now and I`m getting a bit bored now. Something big needs to happen. Kill some * or something

    Watched the first seven episodes of this yesterday, addicted to it right now. It's fantastic. Already probably the most emotional show I've seen.:smiley-laughing002::54:

    The book is one of the best sporting books I've read and that's without an interest in American Football.

    Just finished the series there. Absolutely loved it.

    There's so many amazing characters and stories told throughout the series. And because it feels so real it's pretty hard hitting at times. Gutted it's over.
