Ted Lasso


I have just binged all 10 episodes of this.

What an amazingly upbeat, uplifting and optimistic tv show.

Highlights from a Sunderland point of view was
1) subtle dig at Newcastle (Bowyer vs Dyer barny) and
2) The captain of team reminded me of Kevin Ball (came from London and made his career at Sunderland) if Bally won the champions league.

I can't help think they watched Sunderland til I die when making this.

It's cheesy at times but so full of heart.

Just finished it. Was really worried it would be a cringey mess, but I was pleasantly surprised. Caught the Newcastle dig and both Sunderland references. They got some things pretty correct, so fair credit.
 
It really shouldn't work but it does. I'd ignored it as it looked shit but got a recommendation and I've binged it.
Some laugh out loud moments and you really care about the characters despite them all being cartoonish.
 
Watched all the 1st series over the last few days, really enjoyed it.
Didn't realise it was from the same bloke who did scrubs, similar feel to it, and a canny soundtrack.

2nd series starts this week I think.
