Just started it this afternoon as I I had finished Long Way Up. Agree it's an excellent antidote to all the doom and gloom out there at present. Ted's eternal optimism shines through and his side kick Coach is very drole.

Really enjoyed the show, it was different and the characters were excellent.

I watched the one about the game design company, Mythic Quest, and that was excellent too.

Actually I’ve enjoyed most of the stuff on Apple TV but it could do with a lot more content.

Recently started watching this.
It’s brilliant.
Funny, emotional, great characters and a real feel good factor.

Superb.

Watched the first episode of season 1 last night. Mrs OMITN had had a rough day at work and needed something feelgood to take her mind off it.

I’ve just discovered I have free Apple TV and have just binged both series of Slow Horses. So Ted Lasso seems to be just the job for light and positive.

Looking forward to the rest of it.

Series 3 seems to be all things to everyone except funny. The pr girl is ridiculous

Did like the subtle menstrual cycle joke though biggrin

1st series was great.
2nd not so much, but still watchable.
3rd series is still watchable, if not as good as 1st. I suspect another 2nd series level…..
At least where it’s not funny it’s at least easy/pleasant viewing.

+1

Its definitely lost momentum since series 1 but is still pleasant, easy watching.

Season 3 was a great ending to a show that had run its course.

But the lure of making more money means it’s back.
I watched the first episode of season 4. Whatever magic made it watchable for 3 seasons has been lost.

I don’t feel any desire to watch the next episode.

Yeah. disappointing. Poor. We'll watch on but not a patch on the other 3 series.

Thats a shame. I really enjoyed the first 3.

I did wonder if the magic would change with the new direction. A lot of the previous success was down to the supporting cast, not just the main cast.

Oh man, lasted about fifteen minutes of the second episode. That was pushing it too.

What were they thinking? frown

Season 4 feels like a set of US writers trying to tick a number of the boxes that have been set by the BBC. It’s not a patch on the previous seasons of which season one was outstanding. The only thing still keeping it together is the Roy Kent appearances and his female assistant (see Ginsters adverts)
