schneefinkI watched Ted Lasso this weekend, the first 15 episodes on Saturday and then four more on Sunday. (I couldn't walk very well so it was good timing.) Thanks for helping me manage expectations! It was fun. I liked it a lot better on Saturday than on Sunday, but I'm not sure if I actually like the latest four episodes less or if I was just less in the mood for the show on Sunday. Probably a mix of both.
Somehow on Sunday I was much more annoyed by characters doing stupid/mean things, even when I know it'll most likely be resolved later (looking at Nate in particular here…) I also find it harder and harder to ignore just how annoying I would find Ted in real life, and by now him not knowing the rules of the game he coaches is more neglect than fun. And I was disappointed that Rebecca's chat partner turned out to be Sam – I love Sam, and getting more Sam is great, but both of them were looking for a long-term romance that I wanted them to find and I really can't see a relationship between them working out for a multitude of reasons.
I did become surprisingly fond of Jamie, which I enjoyed, and I'm hoping for more Jamie&Roy. The team is full of great characters, like Dani, Colin, Isaac etc. I look forward to seeing how they deal with the brutal loss to Manchester City. (We did see Beard, but I'm not very interested in him, so *shrugs*) I like Dr. Fieldstone as well. My favorite reoccurring character is Trent Crimm, from The Independent. I was positively surprised by the amount of Trent Crimm/Ted Lasso fic already on AO3 ^^
I'll definitely keep watching and I look forward to seeing where it goes.
Unrelated – because I didn't enjoy it that much that I would request fic for it – Yuletide nominations are already open, how did that happen, what is time.
