The cast all continue to put in stellar work. ... If this is to be the last time we see them (and even if this iteration of the show does end, that seems unlikely), then based on the assured strength of these opening episodes, the finest series to have come from Apple TV+ thus far will end with a clean sheet.
It remains reliably the same: funny, heartwarming, occasionally deep and full of romantic comedy references. That's not a bug, it's a feature, and an accomplishment just to maintain its unique tone, top-notch performances and bold physical comedy that coalesces into a tight and effervescent series.
Just a fantastic probable final season to this show. I was on the fence about the direction it was going in S2 but it has 100% proved me wrong. The whole thing feels very full circle and one short and sweet story and, to be honest, I cannot fault that.
Just like it's eponymous main character Ted Lasso the show has lots and lots of heart. It feels very true to life, and whilst (as a football fan) I can't say the actual sport was realistic I think criticising the show based on that is superficial - I wouldn't judge many a show on how true to real life it actually is but rather how true to real life it feels and Ted Lasso is one of the best recent shows in that vein. I have gotta say of the new streaming services Apple has been really excelling in its content and this is the type of show that can draw viewers in for years to come.
Based on the four episodes made available for review, season three is more of a throwback to Ted Lasso’s original formula of silly plus tender, multiplied by wickedly smart. It’s only in comparison to the show’s previous highs that these episodes feel somewhat earthbound.
If you're looking for a show that's confident in its rhythm, with familiar characters who won't steer too far off the well-worn path, then you'll surely find a lot to love in this third season of Ted Lasso. If you're looking for the show to adapt and shift gears, you'll be sorely disappointed.
The appeal of Ted is wearing a bit thin now – there’s only so long that a moustache can be funny. His folksy dialogue will also drive you around the bend. ... But series three is saved by Nick Mohammed as Nate. ... At the moment, the show works best when Ted is on the bench.
Ted Lasso is a little bit like if Ned Flanders was the main character in The Simpsons. You would get bored quite quickly.
Sudekis is doing a good job, it’s his character that didn’t have enough depth to carry a whole series. And why do they always feed him with these witty funny lines that don’t sound natural? It just gets really annoying at one point. It’s like in every dialog the writers need to make him say something funny. You don’t need to do that. Your main character doesn’t need to have a punchline every time he talks.
Starting from season 3 of the series, it caved in to the agenda. They start teaching you that **** in football are good, migrants are good, and Ted will also tell you what kind of propaganda and what channel he watches on. I want to cut each episode in half and cut out this nonsense. It's a shame, the series lasted well for 2 seasons.
Season 3 falls off the rails pretty hard. There’s some good moments, but far more filler, and a serious lack of heart. The fact that there’s so much filler is particularly strange since they often skip over major emotional events that could have made this a strong season. Sad that the series ended on such a low. I rewatched seasons 1 and 2 multiple times, and told anyone that would listen about how great this show was. Now I warn them to stay away from the heartbreak.
