The Office, Shameless, The Thick Of It (Veep), etc were all shows set in England before being remade for American audiences with great success.
What it look like if the same was done for Ted Lasso?

I think Ted Lasso needs a US remake the least of any UK-set show ever written. Unlike those other shows, Ted Lasso is specifically written to be watchable for US audiences. Ted is a conduit for US viewers, as he learns about British football culture the viewers learn with him. UK viewers get to see an outsider’s perspective on it all.
It really is a cross cultural show unlike any other I can think of, perhaps outside of the sci-fi genre. (Thinking of Dr. Who, l though I think an average Brit would be faster to pick up on a Dr. Who reference than the average American). Perhaps also outside the historical genre (thinking of The Crown here as well)
