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.

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 not only lives up to all the hype but exceeds it. I absolutely loved this show! I liked it so much that I'll probably watch both seasons again before season 3 comes out, that's how good this show is! Jason Sudeikis is absolutely fantastic as Ted Lasso. He deserves every award he's won for this role. The entire cast is incredible for that matter. I'm glad to see all the love this show gets and all the awards it's been winning. It's much deserved. If you haven't seen this amazing show yet then do yourself a favor and go watch as soon as possible. Just leave yourself enough time because you're going to want to binge it as quickly as you can.

The premise is almost maddeningly stupid and cliche, but the performances, tone, and writing are so pitch perfect (yes, I know) that this one appears to be a resounding win. Sudeikis is so inoffensively handsome and manly, when he slaps on Ted Lasso's indefatigable smile and positive outlook he has even the viewer, who knows this is a complete work of fiction, believing in him. Hannah Waddingham's Rebecca smoulders in every scene, an absolute smoke show so hot it nearly hurts the eyes to look at her though you could not pay me to look away. With an interesting gallery of supporting acts orbiting Ted, he shines brilliantly and draws them all in, albeit quite reluctantly. I was one of the cold hearts Ted Lasso won over: his charm and love for the most simple joys (including wordplay) make his presence irresistible. The first three episodes serve as the most deft first touch, I wait with bated breath to see the spectacular finish.

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.
