Lasso's good-humored, unflinchingly honest and polite character appeals as a type we don't often see in a single-camera comedy in the post-anti-hero TV series era.

One of the joys of the first season of "Ted Lasso" is to watch it become more than a one-joke, one-man piece, and it feels like that growth will continue if Apple TV+ doesn't consign this team to relegation.

It is admittedly more likely to produce a smirk than a belly laugh, but, as with a lot of American sitcoms, the charm offensive begets the need for an onslaught of top-tier jokes.

As a sports show, the football is that classic underdog story; but as a comedy, it's a genuinely exciting and successful show that boasts a fantastic cast and a message of hope.

How I wish this had been better written, smarter, crisper, and that Lasso had been more of a flying asshole, as he was in the original clips.

The main problem, though, is that the titular character isn't interesting or funny or substantial enough to warrant a commercial-to-sitcom expansion.

Lasso took me by surprise thanks to the titular character's unbelievable charm and Sudeikis's incredible, charismatic performance.

Ted Lasso casts a certain spell: If nothing else, you want to see where in the world it can go, other than to the fictional Richmond FC stadium.

Even if the show's ability to capture on-field action is a little hit-or-miss, by the end of 10 episodes, I was getting misty over the team's results and over the journeys of several characters.
August 13, 2020
Ted Lasso isn't merely a goofy sitcom. It is an ambassador, on a mission to present America and Americans - at a time when public opinion of both is waning - as a misunderstood nation and people, deserving of a second chance.
August 13, 2020
The major drawback of Ted Lasso, though, is a different kind of success metric, one that's less about being an adaptation of an advertisement and more about being a premise imported straight from 2013.
August 13, 2020
"Ted Lasso" turns out to be something more than just a padded version of an old ad campaign.
