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.

The highlight of my week. Everything about this should not work but it is perfectly brilliant in the way it charms. This is how TV should be!

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 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.
