And if you don't like the "politics" of the show, then I would simply tell you that this isn't the show for you and you are probably not part of the audience that they are trying to appeal to, as everything "political" that happened in season three I thought was pretty relevant to real life, and didn't go too far away from the theme of the first two seasons. It definitely revolves around football, but is more about the characters and their relationships, and what they go through off the field. ![]() If you're looking for a "football show", I would not recommend this for you. They certainly know how to make you want to keep coming back for more and that is definitely true with the season's ending. Although sometimes I might shake my head at some things, the show mostly keeps me engaged throughout every episode, and I would say it is pretty funny for a drama. With all that being said, the show has done a great job building these characters and their relationships over three seasons. But there is a reason why this show is in the Drama genre. This show is definitely a teenage soap opera. The plot can sometimes become too predictable as well, which can be a letdown. Also, I did notice some of the writing to be almost elementary at times. As a die-hard football fan, the football scenes are hard to watch, and the acting seems forced. At times, the plot feels way over the top and it is definitely one of the more "cheesy" and "corny" shows I've seen to date. I really enjoyed seasons one and two, and I think this season was the worst of the three so far. ![]()
