Friday Night Lights: Season 02
Running Time: 60 min.

The second season of Peter Berg's critically acclaimed series finds many of the characters going through big changes. After accepting a coaching job at Austin's Texas Methodist University, Eric Taylor (Kyle Chandler) struggles to adapt to his new team as well as life away from his family. The adjustment proves equally difficult for Tami Taylor (Connie Britton), who gives birth to a second daughter and battles loneliness during her maternity leave. To help out around the house, Tami's free-spirited sister, Shelley (Jessalyn Gilsig), briefly moves in with the family. Julie (Aimee Teegarden) offers her mom little comfort, however, as she taps into her wild side, frequently defying Tami and pursuing a relationship with an older guy. The newly dumped Matt Saracen (Zach Gilford) has a lot more on his plate than just a broken heart, though, as he looks for ways to care for his grandmother (Louanne Stephens), who suffers from dementia, and eventually hires live-in nurse Carlotta Alonso (Daniella Alonso). Matt's best friend, Landry Clarke (Jesse Plemmons), faces his own crisis after he kills a man who attacks Tyra Collette (Adrianne Palicki) and he and Tyra decide to cover it up. Jason Street (Scott Porter) also flirts with danger when he considers undergoing a risky-and illegal-surgery to reverse his paralysis. Worried about his friend, Tim Riggins (Taylor Kitsch) takes steps to repair their damaged relationship and prevent Street from taking unnecessary risks. Lyla Garrity (Minka Kelly) also weighs in on Street's plans but mostly keeps busy with her church as she tries to distance herself from both Riggins and Street. Meanwhile, Brian "Smash" Williams (Gaius Charles) explores his college options as he begins the official recruitment process. Brie Hearn, All Movie Guide
