I’m on maybe my 7th rewatch of the show (maybe more - I haven’t kept count). It has become my comfort zone, my source of optimism in this dark, depressing world. I never expected to like this show. I’m not a sports person and I’m a hardened cynic so cheerful, positive shit normally grates on me. Mostly I find this sort of feel good stuff to be cringe worthy and before I watched and based on what I heard of Ted Lasso before I watched it, I expected to spend my viewing time rolling my eyes.
I was happy (and flabbergasted) to be proven wrong.
I don’t understand why I love this show so much. How did they create such a heartwarming show without being trite? Why does it make me feel so happy and content? Is everything else so bad or is Ted Lasso just unique?
I am probably gonna date myself, but the last time i was this sad, but still content because i thought they brought a show to the perfect close was Dawsons Creek in the early noughts 🤣🤣
