HitFix’s Alan Sepinwall Reviews 5.03 Right Hand of the Father
Posted by Kaitlin with No Comments
“Friday Night Lights” continues its exclusive DirecTV run, Wednesdays at 9 on The 101 Network, and I have a review of tonight’s episode coming up just as soon as I get real familiar with bleach…

Michael B. Jordan can act a little.
If we’re being honest, the storytelling on “Friday Night Lights” can be spotty at times. Even if we’re rightfully ignoring The Season That Didn’t Happen, there are storylines that abruptly spring up out of nowhere and/or just as abruptly disappear, character motivations that seem strange, speeches that feel very Afterschool Special-y (we got one of those in this week’s Tami storyline) and other things that would stick out a lot more if the writing, directing and acting didn’t also imbue the show with such a depth of feeling that it’s easy to overlook the silly stuff. The storytelling can be messy in a bad way, but also in that very good way that lets this cast of very talented performers dig down deep to find an emotional truth that can be devastating, or intoxicating, or both.
