Season 3 Review:
Season Three is a slight return to form, offering more time to hang out with its disarming, charming cast of characters. But even the show’s warmth is starting to wear thin, especially now that the sunshine has to spread across more characters, settings, and conflicts.

Season 3 Review:
Roy and Keeley's narrative arcs are the most interesting of the season (four episodes in, at least). If not the ones paid most attention to. That would be Ted, sorting out who he is, what he is and where he should be. ... The world needed "Ted Lasso" when it premiered. Watching Season 3, it seems that Ted Lasso may need more of the world.

Season 3 Review:
The appeal of Ted is wearing a bit thin now – there’s only so long that a moustache can be funny. His folksy dialogue will also drive you around the bend. ... But series three is saved by Nick Mohammed as Nate. ... At the moment, the show works best when Ted is on the bench.

Season 1 Review:
The series is extremely likable throughout, but it’s more a hypothetical comedy than an actual one. There are long stretches where Juno Temple — as Jamie’s girlfriend Keeley, who is “sort of famous for being almost famous” — is the only actor even trying to sell what few jokes are in the scripts.

Season 3 Review:
Ted Lasso is amiss figuring out what kind of show it wants to be and what storytelling priorities it wants to hold on to in its final act. ... The third season is laying such a didactic track for Ted’s more enlightened, uniformly positive influence on the Greyhounds that its various subplots feel like they’re treading water until they’re hit by the Lasso effect.

Season 1 Review:
The story's gooey nature is fair game, but it’s nearly maddening by how unfunny it is, specifically being based around someone the world could use more of. ... Filled with played-out jokes like the pronunciation of “jif” or a plethora of culture shock moments like Lasso calling tea “hot brown water.” Like much of the show, it all feels very safe, which is often just a nice word for lazy.

Season 1 Review:
While Sudeikis is fine, it would take a much better script for this immediate connection to work and instead the charm feels forced. Instead, it’s the British supporting cast who prove more engaging with slightly more nuanced characters to play. ... But brief sparks aren’t quite enough to power us through a sitcom that one would need to seek out to watch on a weekly basis.

Season 1 Review:
Sudeikis does his best with a barely there character; Waddingham, playing a conflicted admiration for Lasso, fares better, as does the ever able Juno Temple, putting a witty but humane spin on a social-media influencer character in the team’s orbit. In the end, though, the players on Lasso’s team run together, in what’s perhaps the show’s defining flaw. Conceived to market soccer, Ted ends up making the game look like a slog.
