What Ted Lasso does well is it focuses on subverting expectations and gives you a moment of calm amongst the chaos of everyday life. This episode does that just as well as always. Ted Lasso is insistent on teaching us lessons, sometimes it does this more subtly than others, and the best lessons it teaches us are the ones about ourselves.

We learn about accepting loss and accepting our own imperfections through this show. We learn that someone who seems like the happiest man on earth is just as sad as so many of us. We learn that people can change for better and worse and that the way we change is by growing parts of our character that have always been there. This final episode of Ted Lasso makes sure to remind us of all of this before it says goodbye.

I do believe there are more stories to be told, but if the creators decide that this is not a show they want to return to, if they decide that this is already an amazing end and don't want to mess with perfection, then I can live with that. This is a rare finale that doesn't feel like a climax, and it definitely does not feel like a let down. It is simply a stepping off point.

You can tell the showrunners looked at this episode and asked themselves what the point was. They asked themselves why they made the show in the first place. It was meant to be a light in the darkness and a show that focuses on the beauty of us. This finale keeps this in mind and reminds us on several to 'believe'.

There are some beautiful symmetries between the start and end here. Character's remind us of who they were and who they are now. Honestly, I watch a lot of shows but I have never felt for characters the way I feel for these ones. When they say thank you and goodbye it carries so much weight. That can hopefully show other creators that the power is in subtext and not exposition. All the emotion is felt through actions, not words. No one says I'll miss you because you made me a better person. Instead, we are given a reminder of what these characters have been through and then we add the emotional weight ourselves. Truly powerful storytelling.

It also would not be so well delivered if the actors did not perform so well. Every leading actor has at least one moment to shine here. They all know their characters so well that they make the impossibly difficult task of rounding off their arcs seem effortless. The only disappointment here is the conclusion to the biggest love triangle of the show, but that only matters to those who saw it as a big part of the show to begin with. If I'm being honest, I was much happier with the work put into Roy and Jamie's friendship this season than anything to do with them and Keeley.

To put it bluntly, I'm upset and happy all at once. I wasn't ready to say goodbye to Ted Lasso, yet I found myself putting it on straight away as I woke up this morning. I know some would say there are low points to the show, but I can honestly say I have enjoyed every episode. This finale is one of the many high points though. Well done to everyone involved.

Now, I'm going to start watching Ted Lasso from season 1 episode 1 again so that I can pretend it isn't over.

The tag line for Ted Lasso is 'BELIEVE'. If you've watched the show, you'll know why.

If you were to tell me that a 5 minute long YouTube video starring Jason Sudeikis playing a clueless football manager would somehow make it into one of the best TV shows in modern history and win countless Emmy awards I would laugh at you.. Here we are 3 years later and I'm not laughing, in fact I'm sad to see it end. I came for the football part but I stayed for the characters and their stories, these characters are now a part of me and they will be until I die. Even though the ending was very decent, I would love for them to make more seasons.. I feel like it has much more to offer!

Thank you to everyone involved in this beautiful show. You will be rememered fondly <3.

My all time favorite Ted Lasso scene is the dart match between Ted and Rupert. It encapsulates everything magical about this show and is an incredible setup to Season One's last episode. Unfortunately, the magic of Season One gave way to a less than magical Season Two. And the start of Season Three, while promising, left me somewhat underwhelmed. But after a few episodes of Season Three, the Lasso Way started kicking in and the magic returned. By Episode 9 I was hooked again and savoring every episode. But words can't describe the brilliance of So Long, Farewell. Another reviewer said they 'stuck the landing', which is correct, but doesn't do it justice. It was an incredible experience that I didn't want to end. So thank you Ted Lasso for bringing it home. And please leave things as they are...no spin-offs, no crazy schemes...let us savor and remember this brilliant series for what it is.

Well this looks like it for Ted Lasso and it's incredible run, though short it was a beautiful show . It was very positive, and unlike most shows on these days. It was about love and friendship, and heartache and life. The characters were wonderful. Dare I say any one character you truly hated to see in a scene. The episode was a nice send off to Ted with Richmond almost going out on top, but really nobody losses here. I'm really going to miss Ted Lasso, and the wonderful cast and way the show made me and I'm sure millions of people feel. Maybe somewhere there is a spin-off I'm sure or Ted Lasso comes back after a hiatus. Let's hope so because there weren't many like it. The show took the world by storm for its positive messages and very funny humor. We truly got it all with Ted Lasso. Diamond Dogs... Out !!!

I wish I had the memory of a gold fish and could start over. This final episode belongs among the list of perfect things. All my wishes and hopes, things I couldn't even dare to dream of happened. All because Ted Lasso taught me to believe.

Thank you to the entire team behind this masterpiece. Writers take note. This is how you successfully end a groundbreaking, heartwarming show about the ups and downs of an American coach in a foreign country coaching a sport he doesn't even comprehend. It's that easy.

No, but seriously. Wicked. Or as some would say, kinky boots.

I'll miss my weekly biscuits with the boss.

A show that makes you laugh, makes you cry and care about every single character! A lot of people think that this is a show about football but it's not. It's about a football club and the amazing people that are part of it. This season we focused a lot more on the personal lives of the players, owners and everyone else involved. I admit that there were a few dull moments but it made me feel part of this wonderful Richmond family. I was rooting for characters to do well, to find love, to get closure and just to be happy!

There are a lot of shows that have messed up their ending. However, in my opinion, this finale was perfect! It was funny, emotional and had a pretty good end to this amazing journey. I was smiling throughout the episode and crying towards the end. That's all I can say without spoiling it.

I hope there is a spinoff because this show was special and will forever be one of my favourite shows of all time.

So long, Farewell AFC Richmond.

Ted Lasso series 3 has had it's critics often choosing to pick on ridiculous things like the length of the episodes, the excessive focus on characters / relationships & the lack of football.

But what Ted Lasso has always done is not entirely surcome to hollywood stereotypes of predictable storylines & this last episode is the same.

Wrapping up Ted Lasso the writers manage to deliver an emotional episode without all the obvious cliched stories but enough that everyone gets some sort of happy ending.

Personally I loved it & as far as I'm concerned it's as close to perfection as a comedy/drama gets.

I have the utmost respect for any show, no matter how good or bad, that can provide proper closure for its characters. That's all that defines a perfect ending. I am definitely gonna miss this brilliant show especially after this fantastic ending. I really loved how everyone got what they deserved and not in a cheesy and cliche way.

The good thing about this episode was that the match itself took almost half of the Runtime and that made the tension and suspense much higher.

I thank any and all who were a responsible for the creation of such great show and would really love it if in the near future side shows were born from it.

Ted Lasso, a show about personal growth amidst trauma, prioritized character development over romantic relationships. As the series progressed, it had moments that felt like a fairy tale, showcasing endless optimism even during its darkest moments. The show stood out with its mix of fun, crazy antics, and profound monologues on the human condition, making it a unique and unexpected sports-themed dream.

In the finale, Ted made a firm decision that nothing could change. While fans may have desired resolution in romantic relationships for closure, the showrunners primarily focused on the characters' personal journeys, their professional success, and most importantly, their significant personal growth.

The montage in the finale showcased the characters' expected or understandable conclusions in their endeavors. Undoubtedly, there will be complaints, but it's important to note that many people may not have fully understood the show's underlying message.

While a spin-off is a possibility, it's doubtful that we'll see Ted Lasso return in a meaningful way.

Love it or hate it, the show brought a supply of joy at the exact right time, and I personally can't thank those involved enough for their effort.

Brilliant episode of a brilliant show.

We don't yet know if this was merely a season finale or an actual series finale, but either way, i absolutely love the show, and loved this episode in particular.

Curious to know what comes next, if anything, but despite being happy with this conclusion, i'm left wanting more, much more, from these characters.

I was curious when they first announced the show, as a 'fleshed-out' show based on the "Ted Lasso" character used by NBC to advertise the Premier League (if i recall correctly), and they even used many of the same jokes used on that skit early on, but it evolved into something very, very special, that i am very happy to have experienced.

Thank you to everyone involved in the show, it's been amazing, and i hope there's more in the future since some storylines could use some expanding.

Well there it is the ending of Ted Lasso! So sad as I have enjoyed this series so much and I am not a soccer fan in any shape or form. This was a great ending only a few questions, who did Keeley pick? Does Ted get back with his ex- wife? Overall I loved it but very sad at the last second, I did not want it to end!

I'm sure in a few months or so I will start from the beginning all over and still enjoy every minute. Even though there were some yankie actors in it I'm glad they didn't flog it to death like the yanks do and as all British series they leave off in a good place before it becomes a drag to watch....not enough space to write all the shows flogged by the Americans Your shift has ended Ted Lasso.

I loved this entire show and the Season 3 Finale was almost perfect. It is rare that a TV show has such an impact on my daily life, but "Ted Lasso" has done it time after time. It has changed how how interact with people and all for the better. "Ted Lasso" makes me a kinder person, a better parent and a good citizen of life. I laugh, I cry, I cheer and I boo while watching this show. The show has more than heart, it has captured my heart. It is almost embarrassing how much I like this show and the way that I sing its accolades. One of the most fun aspects was watching the callbacks to previous episodes (example: the Kintsugi mending of the "Believe" sign). Also, the way it gives shout outs to other TV shows and to movies with subtle references. Watch "Ted Lasso". Watch it more than once.

I'll start by saying I don't bother writing reviews on IMDB. I'll second that by stating I am not a football fan in any way, shape or form.

However, I needed a show to download onto my Mac when I moved house 6 weeks ago and had no internet or Sky for 2 weeks. On a recommendation I downloaded Ted.

I can honestly say that this is one of the best TV shows I've ever had the pleasure of watching.

Watching what at the beginning was almost a cartoonish portrayal of characters, to fully formed personalities whose lives and issues resonated with me (and all of us I'm sure) was sheer pleasure and joy.

In a world of entitlement, anger, frustration and doom, Ted and his team have reminded me that happiness and positivity are infectious. Without sounding overly saccharine sweet about it all, I've remembered to be nice to people again.

Quite an accolade for a TV show.

Lasso had highs and lows this season but it ended with the perfect finale. One of the best final episodes I can remember.

It made all the right callbacks, didn't get lost in the plot lines that sidelined the season and gave us a satisfying conclusion to the story of Ted Lasso.

There were some open threads but those can be saved for a spinoff or movie. The best thing about this episode that it put a true ending on the three story arc we had.

It felt like everything great about Lasso while not touching or going to deep on the faults that sidelined it through its seasons. Great landing of the plane, and kudos to ending Ted's story on the perfect final chapter.

Ted gave me hope that life is not perfect. Even though it never is it does change and so does love. The character that he is and never lets life brings him down is inspirational. Although in life when someone gives up on a person who is a bright shining star in life and they have a second chance in love that should be celebrated. Even if it's as simple as a tv show. I've been invested in this show. Maybe, perhaps too much in the time it's been on. Life never has a happy ending but I thought it would in this show. The characters I will always love and remember. The empathy of Ted's character I will always take with me and has changed my heart. Just wish the way it ended would be more real. I literally yelled at the TV God dammit tell each other you love one another! That's all of my two cents.

From a show that had almost perfect timing throughout, this was unbelievably rushed. Sad to see Ted Lasso's arc cut so short for what it could have been.

Emotions were played with in the most basic, sit-com finale fashions. Numerous draw backs to filler jokes from the first episode. One of the lamest clip show montages of all time and just some concerning lack of attention to character arcs.

This show had something special that was rushed, for whatever reason and ultimately just went nowhere with. They gave it a good ol' happy Ted Lasso ending though it glanced over quite literally every problem faced in the entire show.

I believe the show is going to be renamed and keep going, which is almost sadder.
