I am currently on my fourth re-watch of Ted Lasso the AppleTV+ series, produced by Warner Bros., starring Justin Sudekis (SNL). If I am honest, even though I have an AppleTV+ subscription due to buying my mother a new phone for christmas last year, I hadn’t actually spent any time watching any of the series. However, I watch and enjoy a lot of British TV, and love a lot of the “oddities” of British life, that Ted Lasso was quite an enticement.
My fiancee and I watch most shows together, I usually only watch YouTube without her, as trains and technology, which seem to be the major topics I watch, do not interest her to the same level. However, due to some medical treatments, I was finding sleep to be elusive. As a result, one evening, I decided to try out Ted Lasso. The story is not exactly fresh, but it is freshly told. I describe, at least the first watch through, as good lemonade. It is easy to swallow, with just a bit of sour to make you pause on occasion, usually right when you need to think. I finished the whole series in just two days. I watched the final few episodes after work, whilst she was cooking, and it got her attention. We re-watched it a few days later, over a few days, and she loved it. I have since watched it twice more, including last night, and can say that Ted Lasso is one of the best shows in some time, I just wish it was more than 10 episodes.
