Ted Lasso - I don't get it?

[beguilingeyes]

We've just started watching this. I don't like any of the characters and it's boring. Am I alone in this?
The only interesting bits are spotting the Richmond locations.

I was so sad when it finished. Probably the best TV since Twin Peaks (also nothing like it).
Stick at it. You will come to love it.

I thought it was tedious. Tried most of the first series but it was very unlikeable

She was my favourite character. Fab actress.

I got as far as series 2, episode 9 (I just checked this) and while some of it is quite amusing, I realised my attention was always wandering and it was a bit… boring. Not a footie fan, which I am told shouldn’t matter but maybe it does?

I couldn’t get past series one of Schitt’s Creek either though, I found it totally unfunny. So maybe I’m just weird.

Shrinking is a million times better than both of them. But old episodes of Frasier still beat them all.

Yep same. Watched the whole first series, didn’t bother with the rest.

My DP wanted to watch it so I said OK, I'll watch with you. I'm a football fan so did so because of that.

Didn't get it at first either. But it's grown on me and is really quite lovely

Give it a bit longer.

Hes here
Hes there
Hes every fucking where Roy Kent!

It's nothing to do with football it's joyous

Yeah see that bit doesn’t really make me laugh.

One of my favourites! Just makes me smile 😊 I really love Ted too. I want a Ted in my life ❤️

Me too OP’, have actually watched it all the way through as DH likes it, but I do not like it all all. Don’t stick with it, it gets no better.

It's one of the few programmes where we pretty much liked all of the characters, apart from Anthony Head. We were late to the party and watched it because so many people seemed to love it - one of our favourite things on TV for years.

I've become increasingly bored with 'edgy' (I.e. How far can we push boundaries, yawn). Ted Lasso is a great antidote.

Utterly beautiful TV!

I felt the same to begin with, as did DH, but we then fell for it. Same as Schitt's creek actually.

"WHISTLE"

Gets shouted in our house a lot.

Oh I love it. Ted Lasso has a special place in my heart.

Nor me! I thought it was a great premise but the plots and humour could have been so much better. The aforementioned Xmas episode was embarrassing to watch, I persevered for a bit but called it a day when Nate spat on the mirror

If you hate Ted Lasso you hate life. It’s absolutely up there with some of best TV feel-goods of all time. Only beaten by Schitts Creek.

Nah... you've spelt Detectorists wrong. Nowthat's perfection.

We loved it. The Christmas episode and the Beard going awol were added after the second series had been all scripted so that's why they are so odd. But my cat is named after Roy Kent. Because he's here, he's there, he's every...well if you know you know.

You need to get out more.

'Nah... you've spelt Detectorists wrong'

Such a lovely show. Great mix of touching and properly funny

You’re not wrong, it’s seems there’s a new type of comedy that seems like it should be funny, but just isn’t. See also: Schitt’s Creek.

I really really love Ted Lasso. Warm, funny, doesn’t take itself seriously. There are a couple of crap episodes, but it’s got heart. Believe!

Ok ok, I’ll give you that… Detectorists was 😗👌🏼

@PuppyMonkey sadly true.

Yes, like the Beardy night out one, wtf was that.
