There's quite bit going on in this show. Religion and atheism, androids and humans, faith and reason. No one group has all the cards or answers, lines are constantly blurred and/or shifting.

Ridley Scott seems to keep asking us what is life, and how responsible are we to it?

The Gods we serve turn out to be as much our creation as the androids we created to serve us. Both require our serving them as much as we want them to serve us. Both act independently of us and those acts have impact. Since they are both constructs of ours, they are anthropomorphics with our frailties, but they are still able to dominate their creators.

Challenging, like I said.

Hiding behind the simple premise of a 'fish out of water', this comedy blooms into the most heart warming television show I've seen. While many see Ted Lasso as having unrelenting optimism, it is more complicated than that, and the writers go so far as to show, and in some cases double down on the costs of that extreme positivity. This is one with very refreshing honesty, the kind rarely seen in TV comedies, except those like Scrubs (same producer) and a short spate of 'dramedies' in the late 80s early 90's.

One of the aspects of a good to great show is the supporting characters, and like Ted, they tend to be well rounded humans given to fits and starts when it comes to moving along, one way or another in life. Even the tertiary characters are fun to watch and have a bit of depth to them.
