I thought the finale was kind of hokey but there was no where else for it to go. The opening scene definitely got me lol

That scene....where the fan gets smoked in the mind by McAdoo's penalty....just brilliant.

I could watch that over and over.

I am a big fan of leaving some juice left in the show rather than trying to get the last bit of humour or money. Arrested Development is another great example, three amazing seasons and then whatever Netflix tried to do and failed at. I understand the desire for more but I would hate for it to Spiderman 3 the first seasons where it just features the characters in increasingly wacky situations with intraoffice romances and crazy antics. The show wasn’t about Ted Lasso but his character was the catalyst and the glue.
As evidenced by his suggested title change for the book. Such a brilliant scene (scene, for lack of a better word. Just a close up on a note, really).

And that kind of cast chemistry bleeds into the final product.

It seemed like those fans were supposed to be recognizable from earlier in the series but I can’t recall who they were

The only part I can remember is from earlier in the episode they were obnoxious fans picking up tickets from Will-Call?

I dunno. Are they like obscure celebrity cameos? Show writers? Beats me.

Strong finale. Nothing surprising, but enjoyed every minute nonetheless.

Even my cat was watching it intently. I've never seen it do that!

The power of good TV, I suppose.

It was the couple Rebecca ran into in the restaurant earlier in the season.

Rebecca had gone on a date with the man in the past. The woman was the one who said, "####e in nining armour", making Rebecca start to think the psychic might have actually been for real.


This guy from season 2...

Right! Yes! Thanks. Good catch.

Ripped off GOTG with the Cat Stevens!

Seriously though, great episode, great ending. I'm glad they ended it when the show was still great instead of dragging it on as so many shows have done till it needs to be taken behind the shed and put down.

I was a bit confused though, he didn't go back to his wife did he? Or are they just showing that they have a working relationship focused on the son?

Now please no spin offs, please no reboots. Let a masterpiece lie where it lies and we can re watch it any time nostalgia hits.

I think that is intentional.

Part of the show is about happiness, however that looks for you on an individual level.

The show is leaving the viewer to interpret Teds happiness as we see it to potentially match up with our own happiness.

I rarely rewatch anything, however with shows in this format, it's fairly easy to do.

Highly recommended. Almost enjoying it more the second time around. I remember being slightly underwhelmed with the second season, considering how good the first was. On a rewatch, the 2nd season is really under appreciated for some great episodes.

Plus being able to link all of the Easter eggs and call backs is much easier on a binge rewatch.

My 6-year old daughter rode her bike for the first time yesterday without training wheels. She was excited, I was excited, and it took all my restraint to not yell out "Lets go find a ####ing windmill!"

Just finished it, what a show. The finale was fine. But the penultimate episode was just incredible, one of my favorite episodes of TV ever.

I immediately cringed when they intro a new character at that late stage, but the payoff scene with Ted and his Mother was just a thing of beauty.

So glad they ended it right where they did and I hope more shows take that approach. If there is some kind of spinoff not sure I’d watch it, I’d rather keep my memory right where it is.

There was no Shame in that series conclusion, that's for sure.





You'll never see Rebecca the same again.
