HitFix’s Sepinwall Reviews 5.02 “On the Outside Looking In”
Posted by Kaitlin with No Comments
The DirecTV run of “Friday Night Lights” season five continues (as always, new episodes air Wednesdays at 9 on The 101 Nework), and I have a review of tonight’s episode coming up just as soon as I trade my pig for you…
“State.” -Coach
Once upon a time, “Friday Night Lights” was a show about the ultimate insiders. The Panthers were favorites to win State, and even after Jason Street’s injury had a lot of impressive talent. Though Coach Taylor was under pressure anytime he lost, he still had access to the best talent and facilities. Lyla was queen of Dillon High (despite somehow being a sophomore in the first season), Tim Riggins the guy everyone in town wanted to buy a drink for, etc.
With last year’s shift to East Dillon, “FNL” has become an outsider’s story, and that’s rarely been more overt than in an episode like this, with one story after another about characters who embody the title “On the Outside Looking In.”
