Season 1 is exceptional. Seasons 2 and 3 are enjoyable but fall into the issue a lot of ensemble shows do, trying to have a sub plot for every supporting character instead of sticking to a main storyline.
See...I didn't really feel that. I felt like every story had an arc that was well supported and I feel they addressed that at the end with the title of Trent's book.

Ted Lasso: "I'd change the Title. Its not about me. It never was."

He wasn't just talking about Trent Crimm's book, it was essentially a metaphor for the show as a whole.

Ted is the calm centre of the Universe amongst a violent maelstrom of chaos, but he is the rock, he is the immovable object. All things move around him.

He is essentially the foil for all other characters to operate off of.

It wasn't about Ted, it was about the effect Ted had on all of those around him. His friends, enemies, bosses, players, etc.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
