Ted Lasso is back on Apple TV+, and the third season is shaping up to be its best one yet. I was so emotional watching the touching season premiere.
It starts off with Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) dropping his son off at the airport to go back to America to be with his mom. Now that his son has gone home, it is time to focus on the team.
AFC Richmond is last in everyone’s poll, and no one has any faith in the team. So it will be a miracle for them not to be in the last place. And that miracle is coming. But I can’t tell you how just yet.
Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) still wants and needs to do better than her ex-husband Rupert (Anthony Head), and she wants and needs Ted to step up. Especially after Nate (Nick Mohammed) totally trashed him during his first press conference as the new manager of West Ham United. When did Nate grow balls? And how will Ted react to all the negative things that Nate said about him?
Meanwhile, Keeley (Juno Temple) is adjusting to having her own PR firm, and it is not going as she expected. To make matters worse, she is still dealing with Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein) dumping her.
And then there is the team. They need a pick me up. Can Ted and Roy Kent deliver it to them? They are going to have to, or they really will finish in last place.
While the team might be in last place, the show is in first place in our hearts. They say this is the last season. And if it is, then I can say they are going out splendidly after watching the first four episodes.
