“Ted Lasso” is almost alarmingly unsexy, and yet it’s expertly attuned to the romantic and the sentimental, dstfelix writes. “You don’t discuss what the show is about but, rather, how it feels to watch it.”
Naturally, “Ted Lasso,” the picture of a Midwestern gentleman, introduces the lady first. In the opening scene of the series, which premièred last year on Apple TV+, Rebecca Welton gazes at a Hockney on the wall of her new sky-rise office, oblivious of the activity taking place on the soccer field below. Rebecca has recently become the owner of AFC Richmond, an English Premier League soccer club, which she received in a divorce settlement from her cheating husband.
This medicinal effect can overwhelm the finer nuances of the story. “You know what the happiest animal on earth is?” Ted asks Sam, a fainthearted player who’s just been berated by a teammate. “A goldfish,” Ted continues, because “it’s got a ten-second memory.” Sam is inspired by these words, and we watch as he bounds, puppylike—actually, many of the players’ personalities are canine—back to the pitch.
“Ted Lasso” was a long-gestating passion project for Sudeikis, Brendan Hunt , Bill Lawrence , and Joe Kelly . The comedy machers drew the premise from a couple of NBC commercials from the early twenty-tens, starring Sudeikis as an American coach in London, which promoted the network’s coverage of the Premier League. Back then, Ted was the butt of the joke—all red-blooded bluster and hubris. In the intervening years, he has been domesticated into a myth of American earnestness.
The writers of “Ted Lasso,” resisting the lure of fan service, have opened up the second season with a kill. Dani Rojas , the team’s smiley Mexican striker, a fan favorite, inadvertently launches a ball into Richmond’s mascot, a greyhound. The dog’s death sends Dani into a spell of despair and athletic catatonia—“the yips.” Even Ted’s aggressive positivity is unable to draw him out of the darkness. Enter Dr. Sharon Fieldstone , an enigmatic sports psychologist.
