There are plenty of words explaining why to come, but I’m not sure there’s any better endorsement than the plain fact that I couldn’t stop watching, and I didn’t want to. Read full review

There’s nothing groundbreaking about the way Ted Lasso’s story beats play out, but the show — a mix of workplace antics, sentimental sports inspo, and soapy romance — is undeniably winning. Read full review

IndieWire Ben Travers

Ted is never a caricature or even an idealistic impossibility (like Leslie Knope could be in the more exaggerated “Parks” moments); he feels real, which is essential to the show’s compassionate purpose. Surrounding Ted are a group of amiable, well-defined characters. Read full review

Richard Roeper

Thanks to an infectiously affable performance by the likable Sudeikis, a terrific supporting cast and a surprisingly warmhearted center wrapped inside all the sitcom wisecracks, “Ted Lasso” is a charming, easygoing little biscuit of a treat. Read full review

“Ted Lasso” is a show about a man finding his rhythm and makeshift family on the other side of the world. There are some growing pains in the first season, but don’t give up on this team. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

Sudeikis, playing against type, may be the big surprise here. He is, if not charming, at least disarmingly grating in this In-over-his-Head turn. Read full review

Daniel D'Addario

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

Absolutely amazing. THis was exactly what the world needed in 2020, when it seemed like there was no hope left... Ted Lasso was exactly that: Hope. Not just the show but the character. Ted represents everything great about America, with none of the bad that comes with it.

I liked this show much more than I thought I was going to. A very wholesome comedy show. Loved the British town and football setting. Jason Sudeikis really does justice to the part.

I have come back to this series, in particular the last 5 episodes, so many times I cannot count. It is pure joy and all heart. In these **** times we only need one man, and his name is Ted Lasso.

First created to promote Premier League football, the character of Ted Lasso is revived to star in his own show in which he is hired to coach an English Premier League team, despite having absolutely no experience in the sport.

Going in I wondered whether this would be a bit of a one noteFirst created to promote Premier League football, the character of Ted Lasso is revived to star in his own show in which he is hired to coach an English Premier League team, despite having absolutely no experience in the sport.

Going in I wondered whether this would be a bit of a one note show that would quickly wear thin, but that was far from the case. Yes, this is still a comedy at heart, but it’s one with a surprising
amount of heart, and I quickly found it impossible to not route for the character to succeed. It’s not perfect (especially if you’re a football fan as you’ll notice a few things that aren’t exactly realistic) but if you’re looking for something to cheer you up in these difficult times, you could do a lot worse than Ted Lasso.… Expand

I really liked Ted Lasso and whilst its pretty predictable it has some great heart in it. It's like a perfect escapism comedy, it doesn't really shake the boat too much and instead chooses to go with just sticking its premise to a high standard. Just like its titular character the whole showI really liked Ted Lasso and whilst its pretty predictable it has some great heart in it. It's like a perfect escapism comedy, it doesn't really shake the boat too much and instead chooses to go with just sticking its premise to a high standard. Just like its titular character the whole show is a breath of fresh air and just so wholesome. It has just hooked me and I don't know why. It has that special little something that all great shows have and I look forward to seeing S2.… Expand

This first season introduces the many funny characters that make up Ted Lasso and is much smarter than it meets the eye. Ted is so unassuming that he tricks most of the people in the show and the audience.

wife started watching this. i pulled it off "the internet" to avoid putting sheckles in the shylock coin purse of hollyweird. it is completely hackneyed hack comedy. the "accent" sudekis puts on is pathetic and the storyline is pathetic and the writing and attempts at humor are basal. i cantwife started watching this. i pulled it off "the internet" to avoid putting sheckles in the shylock coin purse of hollyweird. it is completely hackneyed hack comedy. the "accent" sudekis puts on is pathetic and the storyline is pathetic and the writing and attempts at humor are basal. i cant stand this trash.… Expand
