    What a fun show! But 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 waiting for the next jab which leaves me less open to the    What a fun show!

    It is so contrived. The jokes are so obvious and/or cringe that you wonder "is there anything to admire here other than a script that agrees with your political bias?". Let's put it this way, if this show agreed with every single one of my political policy preferences or, better yet, had zero political indoctrination, I would still rate it a 5/10 because it is just mediocre comedy.

I am used to turning out political finger wagging at the audience, it isn't difficult, but I do not honestly see how any critic could consider the comedy to be top notch. Baffling.… Expand

    There can be no denying that the delightfully earnest coach is a likeable lead character, but the show sometimes buys into his saccharine wisdom a tad too heavily.

    With 20 Emmy nominations under its belt, this is a heart-swelling rematch from a joyously uplifting comedy with goodwill to spare. Football didn’t come home, but thankfully Ted Lasso has.

    The eight episodes I’ve seen of the new season (there are twelve in total) can feel underbaked and free-floating, the writing formulaic, the plots even slighter than they were in Season 1. The inconsistency of quality has the effect of intensifying the successes. ... As the presence of Dr. Sharon reveals the sharper edges of Ted’s ego, you can feel the show pulling away from the coach’s centripetal force.
