Ted Lasso on Apple TV+
I started to watch an Apple TV+ Original series called Ted Lasso and fully completed it in a day. It was a TV series of 10 episodes with 30 mins episode. I really like the TV show for the overall concept.
Ted is a nice guy and a good coach of American football. He moves from the US to Britain to coach a soccer club. All the things that he goes through and the people go through with him arex the story. More importantly, it is the story of how being nice to others can be important and it can be a cool thing.
Something in Ted connected and resonated with me. He is an outsider but has his heart in the right place. He is distant from his close family member (his wife) to gain perspective on their relationship and asses it. He doesn’t know a thing about soccer but he doesn’t worry because he knows about coaching very well. He is scorned and abused by the common people but he roots for the better angels in them. He wins over people with his niceness and good intentions.
That is something that struck a chord with me and made me watch the show. I could draw parallels to some qualities of Ted and console and grieve myself. It was quite cathartic. I find that we live in a golden age of television, where the writers can tug at your heart and also make blockbuster hits with the same content.
