Everybody loves an underdog, and Matt Saracen is the ultimate underdog. First of all, if you're not watching Friday Night Lights, you are missing out of one of the best written, best acted shows currently on network TV. And don't give me that "I don't like football, I'm not going to watch it," junk. I'm not really a fan of the show Who Wants to Be A Millionaire, but it didn't stop me from seeing Slumdog. Just watch the first season, it's all on hulu. Trust me.
Beyond any shadow of a doubt, Matt Saracen is the most likable character I've seen on any TV show I've ever watched. It's impossible not to root for him-from the second you meet him in the first episode, to when he gets thrown unexpectedly into the game, you desperately want him to succeed. And his love story with Julie Taylor, well, if that doesn't just melt your heart you might not be human. Plus, he's a damn good quarterback. Damn good.
I wont give away much more. Watch the show. You'll see what I mean.
