For the most part, I thought they were very successful! Watch Friday Night Lights Season 4 Episode 4 online via TV Fanatic with over 9 options to watch the Friday Night Lights S4E4 full episode. In fact, I put this season on par with Season 1 in terms of story-telling, acting, casting. This was a lot for the writers to take on in 13 episodes. The fourth season of Friday Night Lights begins with Coach Taylor (Kyle Chandler) in what appears to be a lose-lose situation. An episode called "The Son," is one of the stand out episodes of the entire 4 years of the show. The writers had quite a task in Season 4 in a short 13-episode season. Fired from Dillon High School as the Panthers' football coach, Taylor is offered a position coaching the East Dillon Lions.
