I’m really surprised by how well it resonated with people. Perhaps people are just tired of bombastic ultra-graphic very adult shows.

Entertaining writing is enough.
Me. I usually watch TV (rarely) for brief escapism, not for extra drama. I know there's a market for those shows, but I'm tired of services shoving graphic violence and sex at me.
 
I’m surprised That a company as woke as apple depicting in the above artwork that all British people do is drink tea! Ha I’m offended

My bad... I was thinking of Away with Hillary Swank. Thanks for the correction.
talking about Away - I think our family is spoiled with all the Marvel/Superhero content but I found the show extremely boring and pointless

Ted L: feelgood with surprisingly depth here and there. Interesting view on American vs Brit culture and behavior.
The Morning Show:surprisingly thin story.
To all mankind: the inclusion of women in the space program is interesting and has clear cues to today. Far better job than the morning show in that respect. Little bit too black and white regarding USA and USSR.
 
This will almost definitely be the best news I read today. Really enjoyed the original NBC Sports sketches and was absolutely shocked the writers/producers made an amazing show inspired by them. Ted Lasso is easily my favorite show of the year, thus far.

Season 2 will likely focus on (1) Roy Kent's fate and (2) Richmond rising to the top of EFL Championship, possibly getting promoted back to the Premier League. Or maybe not. Ted Lasso has a way of defying cliched conventions.

I have no idea what season 3 will be about. Richmond maybe back on the Premier League and find success. Or maybe the team will repeat their struggle.
 
Ted Lasso is exactly the sort of show we needed in 2020!

❤️

It was exactly the kind of uplifting story I needed for 2020. Hope they can continue that trajectory.

👆🏼exactly!

I'll say it: I want both ultra-graphic adult shows and this 😁
I think maybe we were just short on the latter. Huzzah to AppleTV+ 😜
 
Not surprisingly I guess, with all that is happening around the world, the dystopian and supernatural themes that seem to dominate subject matter these days doesn't attract enough to even watch for five minutes let alone binge watch. This one and Long Way Up are definitely two that surprised me at how much I looked forward to watching the next episode. I expected Ted Lasso to be a bit thick on stereotypes but surprisingly it was pretty funny.

Yeah, I thought about that too, plus all the bad reviews it had gotten based on just one or two episodes that were out at the time or distributed as screeners.
Some sites updated their reviews later on under a "for your reconsideration" theme...
