If more people had seen FNL, it wouldn't be the 16th seed.

The sad thing about FNL is that a lot of people toss it aside as just some high school drama. It's nothing like that. It's about small town America and the stories are done in such a realistic way that it's captivating. They touch on real issues.

Might not seem like a good comparision, but if you liked The Wire, you will probably like FNL. The shows are done in a similar way and try to capture a bigger picture than what the summary would suspect. In fact, a few actors from The Wire have moved to FNL.

All I'll say is that if you like good dramas, liked The Wire, give the first 10 episodes of Season 1 a try. You can find them online, on DVD for practically nothing, or streaming through Netflix. There is not a person I've told about this show who went out and watched it that didn't love it.
