Ted Lasso


I thought it was terrible. The first episode was like a really shit Inbetweeners episode. I'm guessing it improves?
It treads the line between cheesy, funny and heart wrenching and can sucker punch you with some surprisingly emotional scenes, usually around the time you’re thinking “maybe this is shite after all”.

I gave up halfway through but came back to watch the others, something I don’t usually do but this show has something even if it can be a bit schmaltzy at times.
 
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.
Great recommendation
1st episode and I love it
 
I'll do the free trial thing 🥳🥳 is series 2 on there yet? I know he wore the 3 lions gansey to the premier the other night

It’s the football part that keeps me on. We’re all used to following shit waiting for them great little moments :lol:

The ‘hard man’ captain, midfielder who has a temper and ‘calls a spade a spade’, and is called Roy Kent (R o y. K e n t.) reminds you of .... Kevin Ball?

Really.

Really.
Tbf he’s a pissed off cockney that swears a lot. He probably has as much to do with Bally or Vinnie Jones as Keano.

Yep. I’m sure the international Amazon prime audience will be thinking ‘that character called Roy... surname begins with a ‘k’, ke, something ... kee... keel... no Ken... Kent, that’s it Roy Kent.. He reminds me of Kevin Ball’
 
Looking forward to watching the start of S2 tonight, didn't realise it was weekly episodes but that's probably a good thing otherwise I'd binge the whole series in a few days.

You’re right

They’ll probably think John Kay
 
as someone else who doesn't subscribe to apple tv+, i presume they are doing one episode per week?

No idea mate. I binged series one without Apple. But I have a years free subscription now, for something of other, so maybe I'll watch series two with my tablet plugged into the telly.
 
Class for Kevin Ball tbf having a character written after him
If I was Keano I’d be f***ing baffled by people coming up saying “that sweary cockney bloke is just like you mate”

He’s from Cork and I’ve never heard him swear on telly
