Ted Lasso... anyone else love it?

Sorry, but Apple TV has some great programs. Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, Foundation, The Problem with Jon Stewart. They have some great movies too- Finch with Tom Hanks. I just wish they made more episodes. They go by too quick. And of course we need a ton more of Roy Kent!! He's here, he's there, he everyfocking where, ROY KENT!!

Starting to regret not using my free but now expired Apple TV+ subscription. When I first got it, the offerings were not too impressive.

Yep. It’s fantastic. And actually, my wife and I have been really curious as to how A) football humor and B) what is very, very English humour translates for an American audience. Particularly the former.

Loved Season 1. Season two is still good with the exception of the two add-on episodes which stick out like sore thumbs.

The lady and I have been enjoying it lately. It's a good bit of comedy to break up some other shows we watch during our mindless time in the evenings. Still in Season 1 tho.

I've only watched the first season and at first I felt a little weird/guilty for watching something so upbeat and goofy, but it's a really nice change of pace from a lot of the "heavier" series my girlfriend & I watch.

Uhhh .... it also might have influenced me to grow my hair out like Trent Crimm, which has been great for everything but wearing a damn bicycle helmet.

Really enjoyed the first season, but couldn't get through to the end of episode two in the second. It has, for me, lost all of its charm.

The second season is nowhere near as good as the first, but it does gather steam and, quite surprisingly, substance as it clunks along in fits and starts. I'm not sure I'd wholeheartedly recommend that people make their way through the good and the bad, but I'm glad, in the end, that I have.

Probably my favorite show I've watched in the last several years (The Good Place gets a shout here, too) I'm a sucker for a very well written comedy.

Loving both seasons - and almost done with the second..

Once I figured out that the Jamie Tart chant was Baby Shark, I haven't been able to get it out of my head.

As a former footballer, the on-pitch scenes could do with a bit more verisimilitude, but they generally do a good job with what they've got to work with.

Footballer. Pitch. You're a man after my heart. It's not soccer and it's not a field!

Love the show! Roy Kent is my favorite f$%&ing character!

Why is it that the f-word sounds so good with a British accent?

One of my current favorites. A hysterical, emotional, roller coaster of a show.
