Ted Lasso penultimate episode includes pregnancy reveal and sudden death
The penultimate ep of Ted Lasso s4 once again saw a strong story about the women's team fighting for real estate with various bad and/or poorly-paced stories involving the legacy characters. My review:
Alan Sepinwall14I was referring to this episode, by the way, when I posted this:
Josh Spiegel9My big issue is that, half-hearted as it was, the plot twist that [Spoiler] is the one trying to buy the team felt obvious from the start, and required our leads to act very dumb. (Ebert’s Law of Economy of Characters kept popping up in my mind.)
Big Worker2Yeah the "Ted coaches a women's team" reboot is great and the "also we need to find something for these beloved legacy characters to do" season 4 didn't need to exist
I hate it here.1[Spoilers] Apparently, hope *is* the thing that kills you. RIP Mae
beardeddad13.bsky.social1I wish this show was funny, Roy Kent is the only consistently funny character It’s like they were given the keys to a premier league show and this is all they came up with
Ted Lasso is the apex of a particular type of show that fundamentally defends basic human decency as a worthwhile pursuit. But "apex" implies other members of the category -- so which other shows are of this type? Parks & Rec I'd say is obvious. And I'd locate The Good Place there too. What else?
keiv86ab02.bsky.social4Star Trek: The Next Generation. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Circuitously; Futurama Wasn’t Brooklyn 99’s whole thing being basically “imagine good cops getting beaten down and rising out of the ashes as good people?”
Michael Adams-Hurta2Some good answers in your responses. I'd add Schitt’s Creek?
Mike Snow2Seems to me the question is that besides Michael Schur and Bill Lawrence, who besides them is doing this?
