Ted Lasso

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!

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.

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!

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.
