    One of the great American TV shows
    Must watch if you like a feel good drama with good character development. Like these creators' other shows , including Parenthood and This is Us, it's very heartfelt. If you're like me and you don't especially care about sports, that won't hamper your enjoyment of this show. If you're at all skeptical, give the first episode a try and you'll surely be sucked into the human drama by the end of episode 1. The character development is so subtle and nuanced, many characters go from what seem like tropes to fully fleshed out beloved characters. Many of the young people on the show give performances that don't seem to have been matched by anything they've appeared in since. Britton and Chandler of course shine as the central couple of the show, whose love shines through all the ups and downs. They have a witty repartee that forms a major part of the show's appeal. Jesse Plemons moves from a side character to a central part of the show. You can see why he's emerged as such a big star since.
