This smart, heartwarming, and very funny show follows American football coach Ted Lasso when he is hired to be the coach for a mediocre Premier League soccer team in London. At first I resisted, worried that it would be all about the sports and wacky fish-out-of-water hijinks, which didn’t interest me. But this is all about the relationships – sure there are some fish-out-of-water moments and Ted is unrelentingly optimistic — but the wickedly smart writing and sharp acting avoids tropes and the ensemble cast of characters make this one to watch on repeat.
