If you haven’t heard of Ted Lasso by now, there’s a very real chance you’re living under an actual rock, staring at a blue screen of death, and wondering if Apple will ever bring iMessage to your Android devices.
Ted Lasso is a sports comedy that isn’t a sports comedy. As it’s a comedy, and it has sports, but it’s not about sports. In fact, whether you’re a sports fanatic or not, there’s a good chance you’ll love this comedy-drama starring Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, and Juno Temple.
Despite being a comedy — and a damn good one — Ted Lasso is really a show about morals, friendship, and the harsh realities of life. It’s essentially a Disney Channel show made for adults (and actually funny). That is to say, each episode leaves you with a moral message and a greater appreciation for the people around you.
With over 13 Emmy Awards and 61 nominations, it’s a show that really doesn’t need any introduction. If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s a must-watch.
