Disgustingly positive and very addictive. Just what we needed in 2020, just what we need now.

It’s a football show that has very little to do with football. It’s all about the people and how they grow alongside each other. You don’t have to have any preexisting interests related to the show, you will become interested through exposure.

And if you find you like Ted Lasso, also try Shrinking. Same creators, same difference - a show about something you probably have no interest in that you will become interested in through the characters. (A bit more serious than Ted Lasso.)

First off, it’s a master class in effective leadership. Ted gets the best out of his people by helping them grow as individuals, rather than relentlessly measuring metrics.

The characters are rich and interesting, show prominent growth over the seasons, and a few character arcs are psychologically fascinating rides. They could have been written as professional paint dry watchers and it would still be a great show.

As someone who is usually able to guess where a show is going, Ted Lasso continuously surprised me. It was a breath of fresh air having a show filled with positivity and actual character growth.

That said, I don’t think I could watch it a second time now that I know what happens.

I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Great fuckin show. It was pretty much perfect start to finish.

I went into it expecting to hate it because I don't give a single fuck about soccer, but soccer is more of a story telling vehicle than it is the actual focus of the show.

Right now I'm a little grumpy they are trying to make more seasons.

It ends perfectly. There is no need for more. They basically wrapped everything up and left it exactly where a viewer would want them to.

I worry that by trying to add more after the fact it's just going to tarnish the pretty much perfect track record of the original seasons.

I understand why they are going back to milk that cow. I just wish they wouldn't.

My wife and I enjoyed it so thoroughly that when we were in London a few months ago we took a Ted Lasso tour of Richmond. It was so much fun to see all the spots that were locations in the show.

Love it! One of the best shows I've seen in years. Have recommended to basically anyone I know.

It is excellent but I have grown to build contempt for it as it appears at the top of my watch list in Apple TV every time I open it with a giant banner, even though I've already watched it, and is a perpetual reminder of the shit state of streaming services. /rant

I watched the first season and a few episodes more, and I didn't like it. I kept waiting for the show to become worthy of its praise, but I really should have stopped sooner.

The on-the-nose writing did not work for me at all, and I didn't find it funny where it was trying to be.

The show uses a made-up soccer club as a backdrop, but it felt very arbitrary; it may as well have been set in any other sport or industry. Others may like this about the show, but it just felt careless to me.

My parter (f) really liked it, I didn't.

I liked it but as someone who was abused by a therapist — man the fact every show is trying to be “therapy positive” is really meaning I have PTSD when watching most TV shows now, it sucks.
