I’ve been watching ‘Ted Lasso’

Wendy and I have both enjoyed watching Ted Lasso, the not-really-about-football comedy drama series which reached its conclusion1 after 34 episodes this week.

The prevailing opinion seems to be that it was a programme that found an audience during covid because of its warm-hearted nature, but which went off the boil thereafter, and most especially so in its final season. Many have commented that the expansion from 20-ish minute episodes to 80-ish minute marathons served the show poorly.

I disagree. I enjoyed the series from start to finish. It’s not one that will live long in my memory nor that I feel especially attached to, but it was good, heartwarming fun.

I’ve previously called Ted Lasso ‘a bit silly and sentimental, and therefore perfect’ and I think that aligns with my overall impression.


  1. Apparently. If a spin-off called ‘The Richmond Way’ isn’t announced in the coming weeks, I shall be surprised.
