Ted Lasso

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!

Far more interesting and more deep than you'd; expect from a modern comedy. You kind of expect an office-type comedy where everyone is a caricature whose existence is just a single facet of the group as a whole... the scheming boss, the angry old athlete, the American out of his element, etc... immediately, they start breaking down these stereotypes and each and every main character starts developing depth, pathos, honesty, reasoning for their actions and often reflection of what they've done...they grow and develop, which is a rarity for a comedy these days. And it's hysterically funny, And it's completely engrossing.

"Ted Lasso" is really, REALLY good..easily one of the best shows of the season no matter the service. Looking forward to the next episode!

I started this with low expectations: An American series, written by Americans about football (soccer).

However, I have to apologise: it is hilarious AND heartening - mixing American and English humour perfectly.

I laughed out loud in every episode and my eyes leaked in a few as well.

Brilliant

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.
