Best TV comedy of the year for me. Laughed, cried and loved every single episode. The season finale didn't disappoint and I'm actually glad I had to wait for it instead of bingeing the entire series in a single go (which I most surely would have). The ending felt more meaningful with the wait between episodes and gave me something to look forward to at the end of the week. Ted's final locker room pep-talk was perfect and it left me immediately yearning for next season. I just wish I could goldfish outta 2020 and start watching Richmond make a comeback in 2021.

Perfect end to a great first series, its a real feel good show with the perfect cast. Look forward to more.

This is my favorite series of ALL TIME and you don't even have to like soccer to love it. A consistent series that delivers and delivers and delivers.

I put off watching "Ted Lasso" for a long time. I didn't want to watch a show of poorly observed jokes about football or British life, which I what I feared the show would be. When I finally relented, I discovered that, though those elements are a small part of it, really it's a warm hearted and amusing comedy, in the vein of something like "Parks and Recreation".

Having won her husband's prized football team as part of a divorce settlement, Rebecca Welton (Hannah Waddingham) sacks the manager and appoints Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) in an attempt to sabotage the first team and get back at her husband. Lasso, who recently found some success and internet fame with a collegiate American Football team, does not know anything about football, a fact that his players and the media crucify him for. However, his earnest attitude and man management skills eventually win him friends and supporters, if not necessarily football matches.

Much like the other characters in this interesting anglo-american hybrid it's hard not to be won over by Ted Lasso. What immediately feels like an almost Ned Flanders-esque caricature begins to be stripped away as Lasso's strategy of unlocking the potential in the players comes to the fore and as the reasons for him taking a job, in a sport he doesn't understand, thousands of miles away from home are made apparent, so the hidden depths of the show are revealed.

Like most quality comedies, it soon becomes an ensemble. Juno Temple wonderfully plays a seemingly vapid It girl, who is aging out of model /trophy girlfriend phaseand the two relationships she has play a big part in the series. Nick Mohammed and Jeremy Swift both play characters that UK audiences will have seen them play before, but both get an opportunity to show their talents to a much larger audience. Mohammed especially is a star on the rise.

Admittedly the actual scenes of football look pretty terrible, and some other aspects of that side of the show, such as the squad visiting a pub near the ground, the fitness levels of some of the rest of the team, allowing journalists unrestricted access to the training ground or celebrating goals in training all feel a little bit erroneous - but it's a comedy that's funny and heartfelt and that's more than enough to forgive those moments.

So great to see people being kind to each other in this era of nastiness and confrontation. Love it so much I had tears , big softy.

I have been reviewing every episode and I am out of words. Really. This is the best comedy to hit tv in ages. So fresh and smart that it is hard to give each episode less than 10 stars. This episode in particular is an 11! You were expecting the happy ending, and it wasn't, but it is... probably the happiest!

Not a sad end to the season. A promise of good things to come. " Walk on, walk on with hope in your hearts .....". Top series and season finale. Bring on Season 2!

This show is really funny.. I loved all episodes.. Season finale was sad but wonderfull.. I am already looking forward to next season.

Dont get me wrong here i liked most if not all of the episodes and that drama and human connections in every and each one of them but.. i just think they should improve the prespectives that is related to football in the field and dressing rooms, in the early episodes it was not the highlight so i was not bothered, but really just imagining that that would actually happen in an actual match in THE PREMIER LEAGUE is just hilariously dissapointing. More work equals more realistic outcome equals less cheesy sequences! but great ending to that great ride. Looking forward for that next season!

The whole season was brilliant. Charmingly cheesy and heartwarming, while filled with funny tidbits that make you love the characters. But that last episode felt a bit disconnected from the rest and the cheese factor was like a strong cheddar. Nothing wrong with the storyline, but the enthusiastic atmosphere in the football changing rooms was unnatural and corny.

Nice to see a season finale that isn't all Hollywoo.

YALL SHOULD WATCH THIS. im so sad as theres only ONE episode left like how can it be so good im not expecting to be this anxious waiting for next friday without my TED LASSO :( thank you for made me understand how to be a good leader, followers or even a GOOD FAN OF FOOTBALL. im so sorry for people who still not watching this. poor you!!!

A great end to the series and they must have known a second series was in the making with the concluding result.

Ironically, I watched this on June 11 2023, the day after Manchester City won the treble zof the Premier League, FA Cup and the Champions League trophies so a fitting result as far as I was concerned.

The story concludes well but why does Rupert have to be totally nasty while Rebecca is only nasty to get at her ex husband?

Young Rebecca is shown only to be there for the good times leaving Rupert alone in defeat (obviously a character with the same name being used to highlight he misses his ex wife) while Roy begrudgingly let's out his upset with Keeley.

A feel good show where you care for thd stars but not necessarily funny.

It reminds me of classic UK comedy show Only Fools And Horses in that sense.

Roll on series 2 and hope my team Birmingham City (the longest serving championship club) at least receive a mention.
