Ted Lasso

At a time when the world is on fire (in some areas literally), and as a planet we are all depressed, anxious, and uncertain about our future, the timing couldn't be more perfect for this positive and upbeat show to be airing. Not only does the determined lead make those around him happier, he does it by determinedly being helpful and warm with every homespun bit of wisdom he dispenses. It doesn't hurt that he quickly attracts the other sincere individuals that populate the pocket universe of this football club into his circle, to quickly form a strange yet wonderful work/team follower family. For the first time in quite a while I find myself looking forward to the weekly episodes, and with each one I watch I end the episode with a smile on my face.
