Ted Lasso: Believe!!!!!!!

[Wyote]

Haven't really read this thread so as not to spoil things
But I did finally watch a few episodes of the first season
I'm not a fan of Jason Sudeikis so I pretty much just ignored this show
Something about his vibe just doesn't gel with me
But I will say, he is totally transformed in this show and I actually love his character
I always love optimistic positive characters like this
It's like if you put Monkey D. Luffy as a soccer coach

idk if I'll end up watching all of it, it's a pretty good show though, I get it

Also forgot to mention that the writing is excellent, clever and hilarious
Definitely one of its greatest aspects

I know exactly what you mean. Lucky for me, I wasn't overly familiar with him before Ted Lasso. I'd seen him in things, but didn't make the connection. Now, whenever I see him when he isn't Ted, I think, "Nope!"

The show keeps getting better and better.

Annnnnnd we're BACK!!!!

The second episode was much more like the old Ted Lasso fans love and miss. Witty, clever, endearing, and full of hidden hints, jokes, call-backs, and clues. It was a great episode overall and most of the characters gave Seasons1-3 vibes as if we never left.

Spoiler: Thoughts

Roy and Keeley -- The tension between them is perfect. Stay tuned for a long season of teasing the audience.
Roy -- His psychological warfare in the away team lockeroom was so Roy.
Beard -- Stole the show.
Alice -- I don't love her. The humorless woman is a tired joke, and she reads like that inaccurate TV autism stereotype. Fans are already labeling her 'autistic.' (I expect Ted to have a breakthrough with her.) Honestly, Keeley is just as likely to be neurodivergent (ADHD, AuDHD) as Alice is. Jade, too. This is going to keep bugging me.
Boots -- Unhinged. She's entertaining.
Twins -- We'll see where the fighting sisters joke goes.
Can't wait for Dani Rojas' sister to show up!!!!!!!!
