Ted Lasso is a great portrayal of masculinity
Is the series worth watching even for someone entirely uninterested in sports?
There's hardly any sports in it, despite the theme of the show
They go out of their way to not show the sprorts, and when they do it's comically bad.
Absolutely. The soccer/football aspects of the show are really pretty minimal. I didn't go into the show as a soccer fan and really enjoyed it.
Guess I'll check it out then!
I found it to be saccharine garbage. I struggled through one season because I always heard good things and I truly hated it by the end. It's on the level of Paw Patrol for dramatic tension
That actually becomes a plot point for S2 and S3, they explore why Ted is the way it is.
Valid, I can see why you think that.
Yeah, I don’t like any sports and I loved Ted Lasso. A part of my fondness might be due to the show arriving in the thick of COVID and the Trump presidency.
Yep. 100% absolutely. I am also not into sports at all, and honestly I don't even give a crap about the sports part, I care about the fantastic portrayal of what real men are.
