It is deeply confusing.
I’ve seen people accuse each other of missing the point, but I’ll only share my own part:
me sharing that I always assumed that Ted Lasso suspected something about Rebecca in season 1 means I missed the point of the show. Huh? How…?
Is the whole point of the show that we should be completely blind to red flags of a manipulative boss?
Other example - when I point out all Roy Kent’s red flags and the hypocrisy of some fans - jumping on Nate’s red flags, but defending Roy, because Roy is more attractive, somehow I get accused of “missing the point of the show”…
Ummmm… what point?
The point of Ted Lasso is that when a tall, handsome Brett Goldstein-looking man does questionable, toxic things, we should just laugh, ignore it and be blind to it?
It seems to me that people randomly assume any bias they have is automatically “point of this show”.
I think a central point of Ted Lasso is seeing past the stereotypes
Ted really showed in the first season it’s not what people do to you it’s how you react to it
I don’t think he was entirely blind to his boss subjecting him to an entire stadium calling him a wanker. That he chose to face it with amazing optimism and positivity was what shocked Crimm, Rebecca and eventually the fans of the club
Roy Kent is special - he is probably the most beloved English football archetype, the type you both love and hate as a fan. The red flags exist in real life and fans in the know enjoyed watching Roy Keane possibly having a softer side doing yoga
