Seams posted:what’s the deal with this Ted lasso show It's a very pleasant show about an aw shucks American winning over a bunch of jaded Brits. Also, he's somehow hired as a Premier League soccer coach despite being an American football coach. The show never really explains this. You'd think it would be entirely about this, but no, it barely comes up. It's not very funny, unfortunately. Just pleasant sounds coming from the TV for 30 minutes, not a lot of actual jokes.

The owner hired him to make sure the team would be terrible to spite her husband. Kind of like a more convoluted version of Major League. Also the character was originally from an ad campaign like 9 years ago promoting NBC's Premier League broadcasting rights. Somehow years later this became a show on an entirely different platform.

I had a friend in LA who told me Jason Sudeikis came up to her in a bar and started flirting with her and got her number and then sent her pornographic texts once a month for the next 2 years like clockwork until she eventually got bored and blocked him so his happy-go-lucky, dopey comedy stylings always rang hollow to me and I just can’t find anything about him funny anymore

Kind of like a more convoluted version of Major League. Yeah but the "how does an American football coach switch to soccer" is not really addressed. You'd think the whole thing would be a fish out of water show about switching sports, but mostly it's about how the super nice guy wins over the mean Brits.

I liked the first season pretty well but it worked because everyone hates Ted and thinks he's a moron and there was an overarching conflict and tension by season 2 he's won everyone over and no one really cares if they win or lose and it seems like they're basically doing a parks and rec speed run

if you wanna see a truly awful mike schur show check out Rutherford Falls I had to stop watching that after the episode where a white reporter asks the native casino owner whether his capitalism is actually good for the community and the casino owner goes into a solemn monologue about how they practice True Capitalism, not greedy corporate capitalism but a capitalism where the profits are distributed to the community

It is a little weird to me that Ted Lasso is a show about a perfect protagonist whose main struggle is getting everyone else to understand he’s perfect, going through a divorce, whose antagonist is a mean woman who went through a divorce, written by Jason Sudeikis in a timeframe that lines up with when he was getting a divorce

The only show you need about a man succeeding in sports with incredible motivational skill and questionable strategy is Friday Night Lights.

Rust is such a unique character though some of the shine rubs off when you realize the show's writer basically stole a bunch of his ideas and philosophy from a horror author without crediting him. some of Rust's dialogue is right out of his books.

The pace/jokes are clearly being set by Bill Lawrence and all three shows are similar in terms of how conflicts rise and are resolved and how everybody ends up buddies. Scrubs has medical drama and actual pathos on occasion when people die and the doctors take it hard. Cougartown is remarkable for how incredibly frictionless the entire show is. It really captures being a wealthy alcoholic with no real problems in south Florida. Ted Lasso takes a middle ground between the two - nobody’s actually gonna die but we can make you feel sad if they lose a game or a player or whatever. It’s a distinct style about very comfortable people having comfortable problems and I get that it’s not for everyone. It can be too “quirky” and saccharine like Scrubs was and without the threat of literal actual death there’s not as much palate cleansing in between feel good bits.

All three seasons have excellent actors, but the actors are the only things carrying 2 and 3. Which means they're still good! Just not great.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-kvkESiOXo Really grew to love Marty after watching the season a second time recently. Marty's face at the end of this scene is just so perfect and exactly how most people would react if they ever had to spend an extended period of time with edge lord Rust. Like gently caress man, can we just hang out for once? Like I just want to have a beer and you're asking me if I think people are secretly relieved right before they're brutally murdered because they can finally just give up and stop struggling through their lovely lives.

Season 2s overall premise - the corruption is layered so thick you don't even know who the real enemies are, and you can try to strike out at them but you'll lose and change nothing - was even more scary than the yellow king stuff. Overall season 1 is clearly stronger but is just singularly good tv. There was some cringe stuff and clear misses in season 2 but I didn't think it deserved as bad as it got
