    Review for both seasons 1 and 2.

    What a fun show but I'm cooling off quickly. As I care more and more about these characters I'm left wincing as producer, creator, and lead actor Jason Sudeikis's woke, socialistic views bleed into the show through out-of-place one-liners. One-liners taking shots at anyone who doesn't share his politics. I find myself being more and more on-guard    Review for both seasons 1 and 2.

    I decided to give this show a chance after it sweeped almost all categories at the Emmy's twice in a row. I thought they obviously must be because it's that good right? Wrong. Not because the show is terrible (it's not) but because it's flavorless. I mean it. It's one if the most inoffensive milk&toast series I've ever seen!

I thought they obviously must be because it's that good right? Wrong. Not because the show is terrible (it's not) but because it's flavorless. I mean it. It's one if the most inoffensive milk&toast series I've ever seen! Not only is it wholeheartedly on the nose but for a comedy it's deeply unfunny. You will not be laughing, you will actually be looking at other apps biding your time in-between gratuitous shirtless Brett Goldstein scenes(I literally texted my best friend each time an unnecessary shirtless scene was on.) This show is also glaringly mediocre...If does try to be interesting or have consequences for it's characters. Also the rampant stereotypes they try romanticize is troubling from the happy incompetent foreigner who despite being qualified is either a)dumbfounded by social clues b)sickeningly kind/virtuosic c)personality is their country of origin. It's actually kinda boring rather than offensive. It aims to teach that love and positivity are the key to everything. For example the title charater who's positive outlook is so suffocating his wife divorces him in the 2nd episode. Instead of that leading to an excavation of how toxic positivity can be harmful his wife is villanized as this family wrecking nag who isn't grateful for the husband she has which is frustrating. Trust the premise of this happy southerner who's just polite,unproblematic and kind gets old pretty fast. It would've been so game changing to see the reasons why Ted is how he is or a darker imperfect side: rather see someone learning to be better than a faultless Saint soccer coach. I will not be watching season 2. This was disappointing enough.… Expand

    Good show if you have Apple TV +, however season 2 is garbage. There are supposed to be 3 total seasons. Watch the first, ignore the second.

    “Ted Lasso” is a show about a man finding his rhythm and makeshift family on the other side of the world. There are some growing pains in the first season, but don’t give up on this team.

    I keep wanting to make an unlikely comparison between “Ted Lasso” and “Schitt’s Creek,” even though “Ted Lasso” is a lot slicker and it’s set in England. The reason is that they’re both feel-good comedies with simple premises that feature some well-sketched out characters. Their best strength is not in plotting or in punch lines so much as in delivering thoroughly likable ensembles, where even the not-nice ones are kind of endearing.

    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.
