Ted Lasso

Saint by the Bay said

I love the show, but I also understand the criticism. Some stuff seemed to meander a bit and some things seemed to just happen. I feel like it could have used one more season to really make all the pieces work. It also seems to be trying to be inclusive vs. letting it flow naturally at times. While that doesn't bother me it can be jarring at times.

Still, it's hilarious, the characters are great, they do a good job of making you care about every single one of them, and there isn't one character journey I don't like, even Rupert.

Thank you. Yes, inclusive aka woke.. whatever you want to call it. It doesn’t seem natural. It is trying too hard to send a message versus letting it progress naturally. Like it should in real life.

The real saving grace i guess is Roy’s character is sort of the grumpy man who has values and is who he is. I keep watching because now i get what they are going for. Showing a utopia environment if everyone behaved like they should in society after a few hiccups. Still don’t like the forced “messages” liked saved by the bell. It’s like the viewer is being dumbed down as never knowing people in a mixed relationship, a person of color, gay coworker, or misogynist male in our mist. You don’t know until you notice it but once it’s there, you can’t shake that feeling of virtue signaling. All that said though, it is in my top 50 shows.
