So Ted Lasso

Introduction

If you want to find out what other Vocal Creators think of Ted Lasso, here are about forty stories featuring Ted and associates.

I think my friend Julie said I should watch this, but though I like football and support Preston North End, a second-rate American "Football" coach coming to coach a real football club did not pique my interest one iota.

So What Happened With Ted Lasso For Me?

I was looking for something easy to watch and Apple TV kept suggesting Ted Lasso, and eventually I gave in.

It was a little slow at first, but it gradually got hold of me. The initial premise is that the angry wife, Rebecca Welton, wants to destroy her husband's (Rupert Mannion) pride and joy, his Premiership Football Club, so she sacks the manager and brings in a replacement who doesn't have a clue.

The show has some very high-quality actors and stellar cameos (well, stellar for me, Jeff Stelling, Chris Kamara, Gary Lineker, and Thierry Henry, to great comic effect).

I am on series three, and Ted still can't coach, but his motivational skills are brilliant. Jason Sudeikis is excellent and is the producer on later shows.

I am not going to say too much about the show, but I think everyone can enjoy it. I went into it very apprehensively.

It has lots of great comedy, some sadness, some sentimentality, good characters turning bad, bad characters turning good, bad characters staying bad and getting worse, and some good characters who are just good.

AFC Richmond is a fictional Premier League club that suffers the trauma of relegation, the joy of beating a Premier League club in an FA Cup match, and the trauma of getting thrashed by Manchester City in their next FA Cup match, followed by the joy of promotion back to the Premier League.

Conclusion

I would suggest you give this a try; it has become a definite favourite of mine.
