Ted Lasso

Ted Lasso is set as a comedy, but turns out to be a very lovely and warm hearted comedy drama (in the most positive way possible). The characters are very well written and are represented by fine actors who fits perfect. The story is also well written and mile stones are set perfectly. It's a feel good series and I think it's hard not to like after you get into it. I love it and can't get enough of it.

With all the negative politics and societal vitriol we face in the media and our daily lives, coach Ted Lasso is a welcome respite of kindness and goodwill. It's exactly what we need right now. Naively optimistic, he's a better man than most with a positive energy that we can all benefit from. Watch it with no expectations, highly rewarding.

Ted Lasso has been one of the most talked about shows of 2020-21 and is on every "best shows of 2020-21" list that I've seen so I thought I'd finally give it a chance. Once I started it I couldn't stop and binged the entire season in just a few days. I can't say enough about Jason Sudeikis as Ted Lasso...he was just flat out great! This show really is every bit as good as everyone says it is and more!

At a time when the world is on fire (in some areas literally), and as a planet we are all depressed, anxious, and uncertain about our future, the timing couldn't be more perfect for this positive and upbeat show to be airing. Not only does the determined lead make those around him happier, he does it by determinedly being helpful and warm with every homespun bit of wisdom he dispenses. It doesn't hurt that he quickly attracts the other sincere individuals that populate the pocket universe of this football club into his circle, to quickly form a strange yet wonderful work/team follower family. For the first time in quite a while I find myself looking forward to the weekly episodes, and with each one I watch I end the episode with a smile on my face.

On the surface, this show seemed goofy and fun. But then a few episodes in, once I had my guard down, I suddenly realized what a beautiful thing the show's creators are trying to accomplish here. And I was nearly in tears. Almost like whenever I'm under the weather and a sentimental commercial makes me want to start bawling, except in a more inspired way.

Ted Lasso is exactly what we needed, exactly when we needed him. Easily one of the best new series I've seen in a long while.

This is what comedy should be. This.
