That’s probably the best summary of Nate I have read. Are you sure you are not Nick?

I think what Ted Lasso did differently is show a bunch of “damaged” characters, what I mean is chrs with obvious flaws. And then showed a transition. Almost each chr is dealing with crap, and the writers did an AMAZING job weaving it together.

Ted was the fish out of water at the start, Beard was his anchor. Rebecca was being vindictive from the start, but slowly realized it was holding her back. Then you got Jamie, Roy… all obvious. But Nate was the surprise for me. Nick played that chr so damn well.

Anyways, starting a show with an underdog is nothing new, but pretty much every chr had their demons, and somehow continued forward. And really great writing made it come together.

Also, I am from KC, and like the BBQ references, so take this with a grain a salt.
