Whether you’re a soccer fan or not, the charm of Apple TV+’s Ted Lasso is undeniable. This delightful comedy features Jason Sudeikis as Ted Lasso, a small-time football coach unexpectedly hired to lead a British soccer team by the new owner, Rebecca Walton (played by Hannah Waddingham). The catch? He knows absolutely nothing about soccer. This leads to a series of hilarious yet touching moments, filled with memorable quotes from the ever-optimistic Ted Lasso.
If you haven’t yet experienced this treasure of a show, it’s a must-watch! The series took the awards circuit by storm, earning Sudeikis numerous accolades, including a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award. Not bad for a concept that originated from a few NBC Sports promos in 2013. With Lasso’s infectious positivity, it became a beloved binge-watch during the quarantine—truly a breath of fresh air. If you’re already a fan, you might be on your second or third viewing, relishing the clever lines and heartfelt exchanges in anticipation of the show’s next season.
