Ted and Sharon, the new sports psychologist's emotionally charged jousting provides a smart counterbalance to a show that perfectly blends saltiness and spice with overwhelming sweetness. [2 - 15 Aug 2021, p.8] Read full review

The good news is Ted Lasso is still the best comedy on TV. In the six episodes sent to critics, the show’s iconic blend of heart and humor were still omnipresent in every scene. However Ted Lasso Season 2 does make some bold swings straight out the gate. ... And some of those swings? Well — to borrow a baseball metaphor — are more bunts than hits. But through it all, Ted Lasso remains Ted Lasso, a virtuoso work of art that puts humanity first in its storytelling. Read full review

The introduction of an actual therapist into the mix of characters in Ted’s orbit—she does professionally what Ted prides himself on doing informally—allows the show to explore the nuances of its own convictions. Read full review

What matters is that Ted Lasso as a whole remains a delightful and quirky comedy that highlights the best of humanity, revealing how kindness and humility can be a conduit to happiness and success. It’s still the show we all needed last year, but it’s also the show that we need today. Read full review

If the season premiere [is] any indicator, Ted Lasso is hitting its sophomore season with a stride born of confidence in its own appeal. Read full review

“Ted Lasso,” which returns for season 2 on Friday, still has the intrinsic power to charm. The new episodes — I’ve seen eight of the season’s 12 — are as positive and cheering as those of the first season. Read full review

There can be no denying that the delightfully earnest coach is a likeable lead character, but the show sometimes buys into his saccharine wisdom a tad too heavily. Read full review

Wow, you people hating on this are morons. This is one of the most unhatable shows with the most heart and emotional beats I've ever seen in a TV series.

Picked up where it left off. Feel good vibes keep coming. A shame that user rating gets dragged down because the show got in the political feels of some fool. Just a great uplifting sitcom that isn’t trying to preach any sort of a agenda. Baffling that someone would come away feeling that way.

What a fun show! But as I care more and more about these characters I'm left wincing as producer, creator, and lead actor Jason Sudeikis's woke, socialistic views bleed into the show through out-of-place one-liners.

It is so contrived. The jokes are so obvious and/or cringe that you wonder "is there anything to admire here other than a script that agrees with your political bias?".

The jokes are so obvious and/or cringe that you wonder "is there anything to admire here other than a script that agrees with your political bias?". Let's put it this way, if this show agreed with every single one of my political policy preferences or, better yet, had zero political indoctrination, I would still rate it a 5/10 because it is just mediocre comedy. I am used to turning out political finger wagging at the audience, it isn't difficult, but I do not honestly see how any critic could consider the comedy to be top notch. Baffling.… Expand

What happened? I'll tell you hwhat - it's woke now. And it's a formulaic dramacomedy **** like space force for example. But most importantly it's terrible writing, ted is the only one that's remotely funny sometimes and he's on the screen like 5% of the time. Oh and he's a manic depresiveWhat happened?
