Europeans have their football, and Americans have theirs, too — and both countries are equally devoted to their beloved teams. If you want a show with a "Ted Lasso"-sized heart and an American twist, "Friday Night Lights" is absolutely the way to go. Coach Taylor is tasked with coaching a high school football team in small-town Texas, where football really is life. After a shocking injury to one of the team's stars, Coach Taylor and his team face an even bigger uphill climb. But like "Ted Lasso," it's ultimately a show about hope and community, even when things seem to be at their darkest. Later seasons also feature a young Michael B. Jordan.
