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]
Still great. Still funny... actually a little bit funnier. So far though it's not as good as season 1, it doesn't have the same emotional core that the first season had.
Ted Lasso is one of those shows where every ingredient comes together but, like the performances by Sudeikis and so many of the other actors, seems so effortless that you don’t notice at first how many instruments are playing in harmony. ... Ted Lasso pulls off that kind of magic in scene after scene, and in episode after episode.
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.
With 20 Emmy nominations under its belt, this is a heart-swelling rematch from a joyously uplifting comedy with goodwill to spare. Football didn’t come home, but thankfully Ted Lasso has.
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.
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.
One-liners taking shots at anyone who doesn't share his politics. I find myself being more and more on-guard waiting for the next jab which leaves me less open to the characters and humor.
It feels like a Lifetime movie. A lot of moralizing. Cheesy music. Simple solutions to complex problems. After such a brilliant first season this was very disappointing!
