I don’t know how much crossover there is between Hallmark fans and Ted Lasso fans, but I know it exists, because I’m a fan of both. So when Lasso straightforwardly spoke about why he thinks Hallmark movies “suck, but they're great,” I knew exactly what he was talking about. And when Sarah Ramos’ Christmas in Notting Hill nodded back to the viral Apple TV+ moment, I was right there with the flick’s cheeky response, as well. So, what’s the deal with the callouts?
In Ted Lasso, the titular coach was explaining how the team was being as “unoffensive as a Hallmark movie,” a reference that AFC Richmond obviously did not understand. He went on in the episode to clarify he was a fan of the network’s Christmas movies, telling Roy Kent how “great” the movies are but also how “they’re good with the sound off.”
