Review of 4-5-1

Ted Lasso: 4-5-1 (2023)
Season 3, Episode 3
3/10
Too Twee By Half
30 March 2023
Generally speaking, I love Ted Lasso but this third series, so far at least, seems to be lacking it's normal oomph and charm;. It feels like it's painting by numbers and that the soul has gone.

This particular episode there is a lot of wasted time, the pacing is too slow, and the overall feel is sickly twee - like it's going through the motions - and it is definitely not funny.

I sincerely hope it snaps out of its own self-satisfaction, and for what it's worth, I am hopeful as series two was able to recover from the abysmal Christmas and Coach Beard filler episodes.

The faint whiff of Jamie's evolution in this episode though is delectable, and I'm looking forward to seeing where that may go.
