The second season can’t come quick enough. What a great show.

Just the 1st one it appears. 2nd one says July 30.

Premiere had some good laughs. Show continues to impress me with its expectations flip on drama within the character relationships. They are just sort of honest with each other and forgive each other and there’s not hamfisted misunderstandings/melodrama.

I don't think I can watch this show unless I binge it in 2-3 sittings... even if I fall behind.

I find shows like Curb too hard to binge, too depressing but with Ted.. I need to hook the IV into my veins and one show dose isn't enough at a time

Episode 1 was pretty good. I'm so not a fan of this once-a-week nonsense though.

Me neither, so I just pretend it's not out yet and wait. Plus this way, it will only be one month of Apple TV subscription fees to watch this show.

Half way through season 1. It's very enjoyable and an easy watch.

I do think the hype is a little overblown, but its still a good show.

It is nice to have a show that doesn't revolve around murder, drugs, crime, and people being awful to one another. I feel like watching those kind of shows all the time doesn't have the most ideal effect on your brain, especially when there is enough in real life as it is.

Having a truly feel good show that showcases people becoming better people is something we need more of in this day and age.

Ted being labeled a wanker by every one in town is starting to get old though.

Bellend.. prick.. Plenty of other English terms they could throw in there. But they seem to really want to uh... milk that one.

"A man that likes to be alone with his thoughts" was a good explanation to his son though haha.

That's just it, though. I think you're understated how reliant writers/producers are on creating excitement and viewership through violence, crime, drugs etc. Negative stuff that plays well in the moment.

It's easy relative to what Ted Lasso is attempting to do. I love the theme and love that they're sticking to it so far and not trying to go for some bull**** twist or splash that ruins everything they've built with a beautiful premise.

Thank you for the recommendation, it's a fantastic show. Reminds me a lot of After Life with Ricky Gervais, a fantastic show so far.

Oh man....could you imagine?

If I'm a writer for Ted Lasso and it gets canceled or something its totally going to end with him leading a Nazi Rally or being a Grand Dragon of the KKK or something.

Just a warp-speed 180 that even M. Night Shamunspellable wouldnt see coming.

Afterlife premise is completely different, and entirely amazing as well.

S2.2 was a fine return to form.

Keeley seems like the best person in the world. Kind of touching what makes her hot.

The Making of Ted Lasso’s Keeley Jones, a Master of Fake Hair and Genuine Empathy
Played by Juno Temple, Keeley is a football girlfriend who reveals incredible depths— while still wearing sequins and extensions like a pro.

Keeley's personality is 100% wife goals. And for the ladies probably friend goals.

In real life her life would be more complex than just tagging along with footballers and providing moral support, BUT the point stands.

Finished season 1 and into season 2.

Pretty sure the darts scene is one of my favourite scenes from anything ever..
