Season 3 Review: 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.

Season 2 Review: If anything, series two is schmaltzier – look out for a mid-season Christmas episode that is nose-pinchingly cheesy. Yet once again, Lasso conquers all: Sudeikis’s performance is masterful, showing that good men have depths too, and kindness can be just as interesting as meanness. Read full review

Season 3 Review: What the early episodes of the season—we’ve seen four—mostly deliver is its version of that hug. It really is giving fans what they want, even if that means that the story arcs are frustratingly repetitive. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Sudeikis does his best with a barely there character; Waddingham, playing a conflicted admiration for Lasso, fares better, as does the ever able Juno Temple, putting a witty but humane spin on a social-media influencer character in the team’s orbit. In the end, though, the players on Lasso’s team run together, in what’s perhaps the show’s defining flaw. Conceived to market soccer, Ted ends up making the game look like a slog. Read full review

So much could have gone wrong with a TV show derived from a comedy skit, but it works, it really works. Very likable and entertaining.

This is a great little shown. Perfect for when you're down and want to feel all warm inside. Coach Ted has to be one of the most positive characters I've ever seen on any show. He could easily be annoying, but instead he comes out as smart, charismatic, and lovable person. This show is funnyThis is a great little shown.

Season 1 had so much heart!

But as I watch season 1 and 2, I keep noticing one-liners that support the producer and lead actor's (Jason Sudeikis) extreme political beliefs. I've raised my guard more and more to character "Ted Lasson" as these out-of-place political and woke one-liners keepSeason 1 had so much heart!

I've raised my guard more and more to character "Ted Lasson" as these out-of-place political and woke one-liners keep taking petty potshots at everyone that doesn't share his extreme political views.

Shame. This show had so much going for it but now every episode feels like hanging out with a funny **** Hoping the **** won't turn their attention to me.… Expand
