Ted Lasso is a very special show, it has high and low points but our household has been looking forwards to season 3 since the closing credits of season 2 - now we are 2 episodes in and I'm loving it.

The warm interesting characters we know and love from previous seasons are back, and the season seems well set up for future interest. Yes it's not perfect, yes some of it was clunky and a bit 'slapstick' but honestly who cares? Roy's warm ferocity, Ted's wisdom and humanity, born again Jamie, Coach Beard's stoic problem solving, Nate the greats ascent from madness (hopefully!) and Rebecca's strength and vulnerability and just all of the characters being who they are - it's comforting being back with them and I for one look forwards to the journey.

Ted Lasso - some of the best TV of the recent years!

My wife and I have watched season 1 and 2 maybe 3 times.

We watched the first episode of season 3 and then went back and watched the first two seasons again. The show is fantastic.

Season 3 episode one was kind of tame and lame. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't good by any stretch.

We watched episode 2 of season 3 this morning and it was terrible.

Whoever wrote it gave the vibe of "Ted Lasso? That's a pretty typical whacky sitcom right? Sure, I can write that."

Jokes that repeated and never died, intentional dumb confusion about situations and words, a lot of toilet humor and juvenile jokes.

New storylines that seem cringe, predictable and not needed.

Just awful.

I feel like this going to be like Game of Thrones season 8 based on the first two episodes of this season.

Season 3 episode 2 is honestly one of my favorite episodes of the series entirely. It explores depth and emotions of almost all of our protagonists and takes them through some enticing development that keeps audiences engaged.

This episode reintroduces Trent Crimm, who I thought was brilliantly acted out by James Lance as he takes his character on a great journey- revealing a bit of his backstory and solidifying his relationships with others.

The story and plot of the episode is entirely character driven through their own emotional states, with no major (and barely minor) plot holes present.

Ultimately, season 3 episode 2 brings back the football, levels up on humor and for sure keeps you smiling throughout. Lets hope it stays like this as the season progresses.

"Ted Lasso" continues to be one of those shows that transcends its genre.

Most of the episodes contain barely any football matches, and yet, the stakes seem surprisingly high. The main characters are likeable, yet flawed, which of course makes them even more likeable. And each of them has a clear journey they're on.

And when they take steps towards achieving something, it feels supremely deserved. As if I can feel the rest of the viewers cheering them on as well.

"Ted Lasso" is a rare gem that we probably don't appreciate quite enough. I think it touched a nerve with the audience because it's sweet, sometimes sad, and always true. Which, I think, represents a life well lived.

It seems the stage is prepared for Richmond to take it home this season. Apart from the story that makes me root for an imaginary football team, this show does a hell of a job to make the viewers emphasize with all the characters. It's just so damn well written. I was hoping to see Trent Crimm (Ex Independent) again and I'm glad to see his charming personality back on the screen. I feel we have a lot more to see in this season. Ted Lasso actually deserves it's Emmy's as it delivers more than a show, it delivers an experience. Nice breath of fresh air from all the superhero and psychopaths related shows.
