On “Ted Lasso,” Jason Sudeikis stars as a folksy American football coach in Kansas City who is recruited to coach an English Premier League soccer team. It’s a delightful fish-out-of-water story, as lovable Ted, who knows little to nothing about soccer is thrown in the deep end but takes on the challenge with irresistible enthusiasm.
The show’s 10-episode freshman season premiered Aug. 14 on AppleTV+ to positive reviews and increasing buzz. Five days after its premiere, Apple renewed “Ted Lasso” for a second season, a sign that the streaming service sees potential for the show long term. It has scored a respectable 71 at Metacritic and is certified fresh on 86 percent at Rotten Tomatoes, which lauded the show for its “unrelenting optimism” and Sudeikis’ “charming turn.”
“Ted Lasso” is currently in seventh place at 30/1 in our Golden Globes odds for Best Comedy Series and its leading man is in third place with 5/1 odds.
