Ted Lasso (2020–2023)
2/10
This show is all heart...great big, loving heart!

Warning: Spoilers
I can't wait for each new episode of Ted Lasso because it REALLY makes the world brighter! Not since the sixties has a show existed that wears it's heart so unashamedly on it's sleeve. Jason Sudekis doesn't seem to be so much acting a character as inhabiting his skin. The spiritual highs in this show are so authentic, that when it does have a dramatic moment, it his like a hammer...and there WILL be tears. The writing and acting, even in the smallest roles, is sharp and well defined, like ingredients in a fine dish. Remove one, and the absence is palatable. When the characters are friends, you feel like they are actually friends, and when you hate a character...you really HATE THEM! Season three was supposed to be the finale, but a glimmer of hope has come over the horizon and I've heard rumors of a fourth! If they can maintain the quality, I would watch through season ten! Job well done Jason Sudekis, Brendan Hunt and AppleTV+ UPDATE: It took eight seasons for Game Of Thrones to go from "must see TV" to "must forget it ever existed TV"...Ted Lasso did it in three. At some point, one (or more) of the writers decided to make half the cast gay, throw in a mystery pregnancy, some racist vandalism and suck out all the humor and goodwill built up in the first two seasons...then *BANG* you've got yourself a dumpster fire! So many people lauded the show for finally having some "representation", you know...LIKE EVERY OTHER SHOW ON TV. With one stroke of a pen, the writers turned the show from something that wasn't like anything else, to something that's like everything else. Sad.
