Ted Lasso

I got a free six months of Apple TV, so decided to give this a shot.

It is a weird thing to say, but I have watched every available episode and I'm still not sure if I like it or not? It is one of those shows where there are episodes and moments that I have enjoyed, but also episodes and moments that I have just found a bit too saccharine for my tastes. I have just about kept watching, though, so it must be doing something for me. 

Oddly, in response to the above post, I found the Coach Beard episode the worst of the lot by far. That is likely more to do with my personal preferences than anything else, but that was when I came closest to giving up on it.

Was the show always so preachy? I genuinely don’t remember it being like that.

Like I’ll see it through now I’ve got this far but the other week you had an episode focused round Sam vs Priti Patel. Then this week you had an episode focusing on respecting celebrities private photos or revenge porn whatever you want to see it as, with a school assembly type scene where Isaac is telling them all to delete photos from their phone.

I’d want to watch a sitcom about a fake football team to switch off for a bit not listen to sermons on major real life problems.

I thought the stuff they did with Sam was pretty fair. Into a third season now, so you're going to have different topics cropping up. 

Not seen this weeks, so not sure on the revenge porn thing, but again don't think it's necessarily hindering the show.

Definitely feels as if there is less “on-field” action this season, don’t think you saw them on the pitch in the last two episodes!!!

I know they're released on Wednesdays, but straight after midnight?

Give or take, yeah. In my experience anyway.

Good episode this week, especially Roy getting telt by Rebecca. Pleased with how well they're handling Colin's storyline as well.

Unfortunately couldn't help feeling that it's an extremely unrealistic take. although obviously hope it's not

Oh it's 100% the saccharine, perfect world take but until we start, and keep, seeing positive interpretations on TV, film etc. then f**k all will change in people's attitudes. For far too long gay storylines have been half baked, seen as the comedy side plot or ends up in tragedy so I applaud them for avoiding that.

Definitely.

Thought Isaac's reaction was spot on though

Meh....

P&B in a nutshell.

I really liked the last episode. Tied everything up nicely and I might have had something in my eye by the end.

It does well for Apple so wouldn't surprise me if it comes back at some point but I'm hoping they leave it at that.
