This season's opener plays it safe with the same Ted Lasso charm you've come to expect.
It doesn't overstay it's welcome, but you do start to wonder if they can continue these 2-season's-long plot lines much further, and if they can continue to be any amount of interesting. When they start bringing up the same character flaws and the same problems, it starts to feel tired.
This episode is the slowest we've seen from Ted Lasso. So slow in-fact, that you get the feeling that all the story hasn't started fully.
I'm still looking forward to another wholesome fun adventure through the rest of the season, but I do hope they can bring something new to the table.
