I honestly don't get why Ted Lasso isn't a children's show. Just have the football team be a bunch of pre-teens and you can easily have your sappy bullshit where they learn to be respectful to women and that having fun is more important than winning

LOL at this

anyhow Ted Lasso was perfectly fine for the first 2 seasons and an enjoyable watch.

this season has mostly been real dumb

TV Watchmen was good. if anything it deserves credit for teaching americans about the Tulsa Race Massacre

the Coach Beard's night out ep in season 2 was pretty bad and a sign of things to come

pretty sure Ted Lasso's success only happened because everyone was forced inside by plague, traumatized, and desperate for anything to feel good about

I've spoken to any number of other white folks who were like "is that real" to that, and to Lovecraft Country.

And yes, I confirmed the gender changing wizards in LC were real. And the racist stuff.

Saw this in another thread, gotta find the time to read it soon. I loved LOST in the moment but have always sworn that I'd never revisit it, and this probably won't help.

Also I love what an unintentional snapshot of mid-00s fashion that promo shot is.

thats an oof

my wife stopped watching because of the way they wrote off Eko. i guess she sensed why that happened

really wish that those tweets of him being transphobic ended his career but i think there's some sort of unspoken agreement that people could be horrendously publicly bigoted until like 2014 or so

There was also the time when he compared to the George Floyd protestors to a bunch of hooligans fighting over a Metallica t-shirt. But sometimes it’s hard to differentiate his real opinions from the simpering company man poo poo he’s says because he thinks it will please his bosses at Disney.

:yeah: A premier league team operating on "just go out and have fun" just feels strange, and either way the football is very much not the focus on this show. They're obviously setting up Nate to take over the team but he would not be hurting for job prospects after a season like that, once you make it to top flight management you bounce around there for as long as you keep bringing in results, it's the same guys for decades.

In theory it is a show about a football coach who is hired to coach a premier league soccer team because the owner is trying to intentionally sabotage it to make her ex mad

In practice it's about the personal lives of a bunch of intensely unlikable English people and Jason Sudeikis says cringe corny poo poo that is supposed to be dad jokes but is actually worse

It is saying a lot that I am criticizing a show for featuring less soccer than advertised but I don't care about any of these people. It's worse than that, even. I anti-care about them. I actively wish them ill and they're not even funny. The show's supposed villain is an evil billionaire, but it can't keep that up for more than three episodes before expecting you to empathize with her for having had a bad divorce. I don't care!!!!!
