Ted Lasso has attracted fans across the world with its heartwarming tale of the power of teamwork. The Apple TV show mashes up a number of screen tropes, from lovable underdogs to fish-out-of-water outsiders to found families. Yet, Ted Lasso has managed to weave together these themes with grace, gentle humor and great performances.
The eponymous character, played by Jason Sudeikis, originated as a marketing bit but somehow became one of the pandemic’s most beloved figures for his positive attitude and never-say-quit determination. Now, with the series seemingly at an end after the Ted Lasso season 3 finale, (no official word yet), you may have a Ted Lasso-sized hole in your streaming entertainment schedule (and heart).
