I love this show more with every episode I watch. There is just something so *real* about it. The high school angst, the racial issues, the family issues; it's all done with honesty and clarity.
At the core of it all is the moral center of Coach Taylor. Without him there is no show. Doesn't matter if he is taking a very good team like the Panthers and bringing them to the pinnacle. Or whether he is taking a has-been team like the Lions and giving them purpose, focus and a reason to come out ahead.
Tami holds the family together in trying times. No one has her back anymore at West Dillon. And yet she tries to do the right thing.
Julie is a typical teen in the Bible Belt, where many religious folks aren't so much. She's a good girl coming of age, with a very sweet BF.
And then there's the World-at-Large intruding it's angry head into Matt's life.
I never thought this show could be better than S1. I was wrong.
