Ted Lasso

Anyone who hangs on the English Premier League day and night and wants a peek behind the veil will never cease to be amazed. The story of how a silly bumpkin came to Richmond and started working the bench in the most watched football league in the world is truly a fairy tale in terms of sports, and it includes situations that we don't see on the field: clubs make hasty decisions, players dare to do impossible tricks. But I soon left behind this critical view and began to get to know the individual characters, along with the main protagonist. Some I only got into after a long while (Rebecca, Jamie Tartt), some immediately (Keeley, Beard), and some straight away joined my favorite TV characters of all time (Roy Kent and, of course, Ted himself). There is so much joy in this club, so many surprises, and so many unexpected moments when a perfect joke or a strong emotion emerges from a completely banal situation, reliably making me bust out laughing. Throughout the three seasons, I (almost) rooted for everyone and gained a reliable source of inspiration from that club with the dog in its logo, which definitely departed from our screens too soon. It does so in a closed and pointed finale, which subtly recalls almost every repeated joke or fan favorite moments. And the little things are the ones I like to take home the most. (2023.05.31)
