Review: “Ted Lasso” returns for Season 3 but feels stuck on repeat
the detriment of “Ted Lasso” that the show raises this issue before the viewer can in the very first episode of the new season, which premieres Wednesday. Then again, the comedy about a lovable Kansan football coach who relocates to England to coach a mediocre soccer team has always been a little more interested in self-referential meta-analysis than its actual characters. This, too, is clear from the exchange: The therapist’s reassuring reply isn’t sufficient.
One can make sense of this — Rupert bought a different football club in the intervening years and presumably wants it to crush his ex-wife’s — but this subplot seems to radically misunderstand the intensity of sports fandom, the show’s ostensible subject. If Rebecca’s journey seems muddled, so does Ted’s. The coach remains conflict-averse, affable, self-aware, self-deprecating and sad about the end of his marriage. Yet the qualities that made him noteworthy as a renegade coach — in particular, his principled rejection of a culture where superstar players like Jamie Tartt hog the spotlight and undermine team morale — seem absent in Season 3.
The trouble with a third season is that you know by now whether a show will go somewhere interesting, and the answer — in Lassoland — is usually no. A subplot concerning a closeted character seems unlikely to deliver much tension, it being hard to imagine a universe where warmhearted soccer players who unironically tap a sign that says “BELIEVE” wouldn’t accept a gay teammate.
