Ted Lasso Review

 I heard about this show for a while but just never watched it. I thought I should finally put my AppleTv to some good use and watch it. I tell it was one of the funniest shows that I have ever watched. The background of the show actually comes from an advertisement that NBC did when they got the rights to show Premier League games in America. They made an advertisement where an American comes to the UK to coach Tottenham Hotspurs. 

I believe that Jason Sidekis was part of this advertisement and took the concept of that Ad and made Ted Lasso in to a show. And honestly it is so funny because we love our football in this country and to see a comical side of it is really hilarious. Its really funny because some of the characters behaviours is based on Premier League football players. It is really funny to see how an American who has coached an NFL team comes to the UK to teach a Premier League team which are different sports from each other. 

However there are many other themes that run in the show, such as touching on mental health and how that can affect players. The fact that these players are so young and earning a large amount of money, so they buy things that may not be necessary. Women are very prominent in the show, as their are two main female characters. Both the female characters are bosses in their own right as one owns the football club and the other starts her own marketing/PR business. It is so great to see two female characters actually getting along instead of being at each others throats. Even though this could be seen as a male dominant show the two females given it a sense of balance. 

Ted Lasso is honestly such a funny show and I would defiantly recommend it. I can understand why the show has won so many awards and given the go for another season. It is just so refreshing to see another point of view on the game of football.
