    Yeah I went into the show extremely blind so had no idea what to expect. All I knew were Jason Sudeikis was in it and Bill Lawrence was a producer, so maybe I was expecting more of the Scrubs kind of thing where there aren't always easy fixes.

    After watching the first two episodes, it was pretty easy to guess where the show was going to go and how the characters would play out. A lot of it is nonsensical and its quite clichéd. It works because Ted Lasso is quite a interesting character to have in this workplace scenario and he's played so well by Jason Suedikis

    I had zero expectations but was pleasently surprised

    Started watching last night and have just finished watching tonight. Utterly charming show.

    Fish out of water, some non-sentimental british humour with a mix of cheese american that as you can see it coming still hitsa ya in the feels.. Perfect viewing for these times.

    Get over the cliches and tropes. Its very good. I hope they leave it at that all the same. No second eason.

    Why wouldn't you want more seasons? It's suited for multiple seasons

    Don't get me wrong I'd love to see more just afraid it wouldn't match up. Then again why wouldn't it ! More Ted please !


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,318 ✭✭✭Heckler


    Any recommendations along the same lines ? Just a feel good show. Seen Schitts Creek(loved it), Derek, Office etc.

    I'm struggling with this, I'm up to ep-6 and though it can be funny at times, I'm really not liking any of the characters besides Ted and his 2 side kicks. Outside of them I can't stomach some of them, I know some are meant to be a bit nauseating or irritating, but really it's not in a good way for my liking

    The Good Place on Netflix is very good and similar in the sense that it's about people trying to be good. Also if you're looking something more British The Detectorists is good although I'm not sure it's currently available on any streaming services.

    Few episodes in....exactly what I need right now! It’s lovely

    Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is the one is most reminds me of - an unrelentingly sunny lead character that manages not to be irritating.

    I loved Detectorists, it's got a nice slow pace and Mackenzie Crook and Toby Jones are wonderful in it.

    Friday Night Lights. Season two is weird, but overall it's a great watch. It's got more heart than most things on TV.

    Justified is also worth watching. Season 1 is a bit hit and miss but after that it picks up and really gets going.

    Some bizarre recommendations here.. :D

    I'm actually just watching Ted lasso again right now. It's comfort TV.

    But if you haven't watched Friday Night lights, give it a go. It's great.

    Any idea when it will be back?
    I must say I loved it, really grew on me.
    I found the last episode especially quite emotional

    An interview with Brett Goldstein back in October indicates they're only in the process of writing season 2, so I'm guessing probably end of year minimum.

    Thanks to OP for recommending this.
    I absolutely loved it and I wouldn't be too fond of schmaltz
    Feelgood central and very funny with it.
    This was top notch IMO

    If you don't give a crap about football, would you still enjoy this?
    Just finished this and answering my own question: Yes, yes you really would. It's a lovely, charming show and you'd be dead inside if you didn't feel its warmth, especially from Sudekis's performance as Lasso.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,065 ✭✭✭stargazer 68


    I absolutely loved it! Was really surprised that I did as I have absolutely no interest in football at all. Recommend it thoroughly!

    If it hasn't already been recommended on here Kim's Convenience is a great watch. Really funny imo


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,802 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    Watched this a couple of weeks back, and surprised that it appears very few people know of it.

    Ok so it's a but cheesy in parts but it also has some very funny moments. As good as any other of the top comedies out there.

    And don't let the football put you off, there's not that much in it.

    And a little bit of trivia, if anyone has watched The Mandalorian, the guy who plays Ted Lasso is one of the stormtroppers who has Grogu/baby Yoda in a bag and keep slapping him.

    It wasn't bad, decent enough to keep watching it. Not too taxing on the brain. One thing bothered me though, none of the superfans in the pub seem to go to games......

    That is one of the more realistic things about the entire series!!!

    Binged it last week. I really enjoyed it . Easy to watch and some funny bits too. Even caught the missus watching it the odd time and smiling.

    Presume there is going to be a few more series of it.

    They've renewed it for a second and third series but that's it. It will finish on season 3 which means they have a plan which is reassuring.
