Ted Lasso came to an end back in May 2023 with a finale that closed a major chapter for Jason Sudeikis’ title character while also setting up the future of AFC Richmond. If you were me back in May 2023, however, you were on the outside of the Ted Lasso craze because you just hadn’t gotten around to starting yet. Still, by nature of social media and my job as an entertainment journalist, I was inevitably spoiled on main points of the final episode. Now, circa late 2023, I’ve finally binge-watched Ted Lasso, and I can finally understand the issues that Apple TV+ subscribers were talking (and tweeting) about.
After I finished kicking myself for not watching one of the best Apple TV+ shows sooner and letting myself get spoiled instead, I found that I can relate to some fans' issues with the finale much more than others. Read on for the major plot points that were all over social media when the finale aired, and where I fall on them now that I finally experienced the Ted Lasso journey for myself!
