we like the show so far, love Jason, and being from KC, I love the KC Easter eggs.
very little of the first 3 episode is actually SOCCER related.
I don’t like sports at all and really really enjoyed this show. I think it’s really well done. It’s more like an office based comedy but the office happens to be a sports venue.
If you're looking for some feel-good vibes in these darker days of pandemic and politics, I'd say absolutely. It's written along some familiar tropes, but it's fun, light-hearted and well done.
This is gonna be my thing for evenings pretty soon.... as the days grow ever shorter and I need more comedy in my life past how I function early in the morning trying to make coffee in the damn dark.
I'm generally a fan of Apple TV+ offerings, just don't make enough time for them. That's my summer self though.
This show is really good. Pretty unique. Kinda has that Major League vibe to it.
I gave it a try but the pandering girl power opening scene was so childish I turned it off. No thanks. I really wish Apple hadn‘t taken this route with their content. Everything has a try hard “message” forced in.
if you love Apple you will love this show.
TV for true fans of the company.

Yes yes yes. Did not expect the show to have as much heart as it does. I love it.
Maybe 20 years ago, but these days it's a requirement to have a UEFA Pro licence. As for experience, the only standouts given a top level job are Solskjær and Lampard, two ex-players with pitiful CVs but who were appointed in desperation.
As for the show, surprised to find I quite liked it or didn't hate it at least. It's not clever and won't trouble the BAFTA committee, but aside from a few scenes, it didn't induce the usual cringe you normally get from these unoriginal "fish out of water" comedies. Yes it's stuffed with tired stereotypes, but the writing is on point and compared with the almost identical but truly horrific show with David Schwimmer (NSA meets GCHQ) that Sky aired earlier this year (with the same kit man "comic" actor) it's half decent. Waiting for Anthony Head as the ex-husband/owner to make an appearance though.

It's set in Richmond-upon-Thames, an affluent suburb of SW London. The club is entirely fictional, and IRL the area is much more a hotbed of egg-chasing (rugby) than football/soccer.
I got the 1-year free subscription when I purchased an iPad right at the beginning of Covid but haven't been tempted to watch anything on offer. A couple of rainy days so I watched and Greyhound and it was actually good. Then I saw the trailer for Ted Lasso and thought "Why not?"
I binged the 3 episodes and was left hungry for more. It seems very predictable but it is still entertaining and makes me want to keep watching. Can't wait for the next few episodes.

I love this show, probably more so because it was shot at Crystal Palace FC, my home team, weird watching a program that’s broadcasting familiar images of my local club and roads that was for most of my life my home.
Amusing that the first episode Richmond FC play a match against the very club it’s filmed at. All the filming takes place in and around selhurst park, CPFC’s home ground. Crystal Palace play in the premier league for those of you who don’t know, arguably the best Football league in the world, playing teams like Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool etc.
Richmond is up the road and as already mentioned more aligned to Rugby (very close to Twickenham, home of the England Ruby team) then Football.
