Minor spoilers for Season 3 of Ted Lasso are ahead. If you aren’t caught up on the 2023 TV schedule hit, you can stream it with an Apple TV+ subscription.
I know that when Nathan Shelley ripped up the Beleive sign and left AFC Richmond at the end of Season 2 of Ted Lasso it felt like he’d never be redeemed, and he was officially in his villain era. However, while it’s easy to toss the character to the wayside and throw shade, which many have, I think many have lost sight of two of the show’s central themes: acceptance and forgiveness, especially when it comes to Ted Lasso Season 3. And while these themes are relevant to a lot of storylines including Ted and his ex-wife’s relationship, Jamie and Roy’s friendship, and Issac lashing out at a spectator, it's the central point of Nate's story, however, many fans are not on board with him. And because of that, I think there are many viewers who are missing the point of the series.
