Never mind all the awards Ted Lasso has been nominated for (and won). With season 2 out and a season 3 already confirmed, I definitely recommend indulging in in this sarcastic, hilarious, refreshing brand of humor. Season 1 didn’t leave off on a cliffhanger, but it certainly left many loose strings undone. Not to mention that everything sounds better when you hear it in a British accent-it just does. Seriously, we’ve got impromptu roasts by the team’s water boy turned co-coach, a heart-to-heart, get-it-girl pep talk in the bathroom, and laughs for days. While Lasso is an extreme example, any representation is deeply appreciated.Īside from all that, watching a team really come together even though there are plenty of reasons to let it all fall apart is a much needed boost in this day and age. It’s something we’ve hear about, and maybe some of us have even experienced. I mean, Ted, I know it sucks buddy, but thanks for taking one for the team and representing what smiling depression can look like. I can’t even tell you how thrilled I was to see representation of a panic attack in this series. With his marriage crumbling and his inability to stop it, we get to see another side of his character. Mid-season we find out that under his happy-go-lucky exterior, Ted is dealing with his own personal hell. Lasso might be one cool cat who lets his team’s subtle mockery roll off his back (or maybe, he just doesn’t get it) but there’s more to the man than just jokes and giggles. No, thank you.” Come For The Humor, Stay For All The Feels As a coffee lover, who doesn’t understand the English’s endearment to tea, one of my absolute favorite lines is, “I always thought that tea was just gonna taste like hot brown water. Of, and of course, unending hilarious one-liners from Lasso and his partner in crime, Coach Beard (Brendan Hunt). A love triangle between said players and a mutual love interest. Two all-star athletes on the same team, butting heads over the way things should be done. Several subplots surrounding the team hold a little something for everyone. But damnit, he won’t let that hold the team back. He’s a football coach who knows zip, zilch, nada about soccer and has been brought on board to coach a floundering premier soccer league. You know, the kind of hardcore giggle that abs are made of. The team kind of hates him, the fans love to hate him, and the current owner (ex-wife of the previous owner) loves all the hate going around.Įven so, Lasso’s relenting optimism and upbeat attitude gives us all a dose of much-needed laughter. No one gets more annoyed with our American-y behavior than the British, so that in itself is pretty freaking hilarious. Y’all have had a year to catch up on season 1– get it together, people. I’ll do my best to not spoil much but can’t make any promises. Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) is an annoyingly optimistic American football coach who finds himself coaching soccer in the U.K.
