Season Guide
Ted Lasso — Season 1
Season 1 Review
Jason Sudeikis plays Ted Lasso, a small-time college football coach from Kansas hired to coach a professional soccer team in England, despite having no experience coaching soccer.
Season Review
The perfect season: an American football coach takes over AFC Richmond knowing nothing about soccer, and the show builds its kindness engine — Ted’s optimism as armor over a failing marriage, Rebecca’s sabotage as grief, Roy and Keeley’s gruff-bright romance. The darts scene is the thesis statement; the finale’s promotion loss and dignity is the proof. Ten episodes, no fat.
