The huge reveal here was Ted Lasso's big confession which was major character development. I knew there was something huge from his past that he was bottling up inside which made him so averse to therapy. I didn't realize it would be that shockingly heavy. Lasso is beginning to open up instead of shooting off quip after quip which comes off as a defense mechanism. This was a great episode but there's one small thing and one huge thing that made it so I could not give this a 9 or a 10.
1. Jamie's dad is an absolute caricature. His performance was so completely over the top it made the scene just silly. It was like something from a bad lifetime movie. He is supposed to be a massive jerk, not a D list supervillain from Batman.
2. Sam is way too young. Rebecca is his boss. She shouldn't have kissed him and the ending wasn't romantic it just left a bad taste in my mouth. Let's reverse the roles for a sec. Let's pretend it's a woman's football team and the boss was a man in his fourties' while the girl was 21. Romantic? Or just totally creepy and unacceptable? Well. Same rules apply here. I am only just watching the show now so I have no idea where this thread is going but really hope nothing happens. If they do the deed imma be upset.
