Well, I was kinda right about what would occur in this week’s Ted Lasso with regard to Anthony Head*, but was very wrong about just who is buying up shares – although I genuinely don’t think the “Zelda is making a play for Richmond” reveal is an earned twist at all. Outside of that bit […]
Well, that was the first episode from start to finish that felt like a classic Ted Lasso episode. And it’s curious that so much of the main action of the episode didn’t involve our titular character at all. Keeping the action confined within two main arcs* – the culmination of the Roy and Keeley will […]
Well, that was easily the best episode in weeks as the story started to focus a bit more on the team and less on the extracurricular actions of the legacy characters. We more or less solved the Keeley-Roy relationship drama without allowing the good doctor to be played for a fool*, Ted started to take […]
This week’s episode of Ted Lasso was a weird one. On the one hand, there were several really lovely sections that went a long way at fleshing out key characters within the season. And on the other, there were moments so outlandish and strange that they went beyond the point of stretching the bounds of […]
I’m starting to get a bit worried about the direction of this season of Ted Lasso. Perhaps it’s a coincidence that this is also the first episode of the season that wasn’t provided for critics for our pre-season reviews, but we’ve hit the halfway point in the season and are rapidly running out of runway […]
This week’s episode was an interesting one for me to try to review. Because, on the one hand, I certainly laughed more at this episode than any other of the ones I have seen. But, on the other, so much of the episode felt overly contrived and juvenile in its structure. Yes, dealing with cliques […]
First things first: I find it hard to believe that someone like Ted Lasso had never heard of Susan Boyle. Her success on Britain’s Got Talent was one of the biggest stories around both the UK and US when it happened and even someone who is as offline as Ted surely would have heard of […]
Two things are clear by the end of “Curiouser and Curiouser!” First, this new season of Ted Lasso is very much a retread of season one – for good and for ill. We have Ted returning to take over the reins of a team that is floundering in the second tier of English football, with […]
I was not a fan of season three of Ted Lasso. It was overlong, unfocused, and, somehow, still shockingly rushed at the end. So, when it was announced that the series would be returning after a three-year hiatus – this time, with Ted returning to Richmond to coach their up-and-coming women’s team – I was […]
When a friend asked me how I would describe the fourth season of Ted Lasso, the best description I could come up with – based largely on this season premiere – was a warm hug. Because, considering the polarizing nature of the show’s third season – which I enjoyed at the outset and then was […]
