Friday Night Lights - The Third Season - A DVD Review

Friday Night Lights, The Third Season has been released in DVD and I couldn't wait to buy it. I absolutely adored the show ever since I first watched an episode in season one. Friday Night Lights is based about a film and a novel of the same title.

The book Friday Night Lights was actually intended to be published as journalism, so all the characters an events in the book are assumed to be real people and events. In the series though, there are some minor changes done to stretch the story, but the intrigue and the central points of the original stayed.

I only have good words for this show because I can really see the professionalism of the actors on TV. All of them are in tune with the characters they play, and it's apparent that they have chemistry and freedom to experiment with their characters. They also communicate and bond well with the other actors on the show.

The Third Season of Friday Night Lights especially is pretty good. The characters have evolved with their craft and their ability to use the lines to their advantage and for the development of the characters they're portraying. Each episode is packed with more drama and intrigue than a regular movie. Each season is better than the previous, which only shows that all the people working on the series learn as they go.

However there have been doubts about renewing the series for the fourth season because most of the characters have already graduated in season three. That's why the DVD release of Friday Night Lights The Third Season is an amazing move. It will immortalize the series I love the most, and most importantly, it's possibly the last season, hence the most significant fans of Friday Night Lights should definitely get the DVD, as I already did.

Sexy, scary and wildly entertaining, True Blood has been "difficult to resist" (Daily Variety) and "a complete and total turn-on" (The Washington Post) for fans and critics alike since it premiered on HBO in 2008. Season three finds Bill kidnapped and Sookie heading to Mississippi to find him. There she becomes entangled in a world ruled by a powerful Vampire King and the werewolves who do his bidding. Meanwhile, back in Bon Temps, new threats emerge that make previous problems seem tame by comparison.
